Alice M. Not necessarily revolutionary IMHO as far as composition and musicianship are concerned, but this album is set apart by its peculiar warmth. It’s like a blanket that you kinda miss once the album is over.

RJ By taking the best elements from black metal and blending them with the best elements from shoegaze, Falaise have created a heavier shoegaze sound that draws some parallels with Alcest. A good album with decent production and a solid performance. Would easily recommend. 7/10 Favorite track: Once, My Home.

amorphisgarden This is pretty much the soundtrack to how I feel about earth while I stare into space. like I don't belong here, but out there among the cosmos. This music takes me through that emptiness and back into not taking this life for granted. I can't go out into the cosmos, I'm already floating on a rock in the midst of the cosmos and must find meaning for myself here.

Chris To me Falaise has always been about the riffs - the blistering tremolo picked blasts of sadness, joy and something in between.

This album takes what they've done before and refines it to the pinnacle of what this band can be: heartbreaking, uplifting, contemplative....life. Favorite track: Leaves In The Wind.

Intro 02:13
2.
Dust on the skin, turned to stone in the accumulated years trying to move in vain. I still don't know where my path leads me, uncertain, struggling with each new step, tiring. Not even home seems like home anymore, only a bare, broad, cage. Finding the force into something that is already dead. People try to help, but words don't hurt or sweeten, they just flow, like tears on my skin. Not even home seems like home anymore.
3.
Laid on the ground, fingers touching the cold grass. The sun helpless against the frozen void within me. I turn around my side, the snow dancing over my face, I still remember the days when the sun was warming my heart. The blood freezes eyes close a moment fleeing away.
4.
Blend of lights and shadows, cold that penetrates the bones the light of a street lamp swallowed in the faded eyes of people. Away from home now I feel I'm not part of it anymore, I seem to live in another world, not my world.
5.
Time hides, distorts your image I feel nothingness inside me. I feel nothingness inside me, where once a bright light shone. An emptiness full of memories of you.
6.
Leaves in the wind, raindrops slide on the window and I, closed inside these walls, I'm overwhelmed by memories memories of a carefree life, before I knew the truth. I feel so tired, so empty nothing can fill this chasm in my chest. I don't want this life anymore. I would not be born, not be pierced by this cold knife, by this empty life. I'm dying inside. Someone help me.
7.
Lonely here, the horizon that slowly darkens a wind that wraps a soul that only asks for a break from this chaotic world, from the imposed pressures of society, from a life that sees no future then comes home, tomorrow is always the same a cycle that is constantly repeated until one day it will end.
8.
Whispers come out of the mouth from a recessed part of me scratching, suffering, angry words, but the tired body suppresses them, like heavy chains on wrists and ankles they drag me down. I look for your hand to cling to, but I just hold nothing where once I found you. Slide down, deeper and deeper.

"After two acclaimed albums, Falaise are now ready to make a further step in their artistic growth. The main album concept relates to the sense of loss and perdition that human beings suffer for by living in modern megalopolis, so devoid of personality and soul.
“A Place I Don’t Belong To” is an urban desire of escapism drowned under a veil of melancholy and sadness. Like homeless wanderers towards nothingness, Falaise members draw a dramatic painting of despondency. Their feelings of loss and confusion take a post-black metal shape, so much that it comes to mind another band that has been part of the ATMF’s history, LANTLOS.
Falaise’s music conjures up the disturbing feeling of being isolated by the world’s inner core, where hopelessness and desperation unfolds on grey walls of sound. Dreams and pale shading of solitary consciousness are mingled with the wordless grey reality, but the post rock psychedelic influences do not wash away Falaise’s depressive black metal roots, while noise and ambient elements concur to the multifaceted and introspective mood of the album. The third effort by the Italian duo, “A Place I Don’t Belong To”, is a perfect synthesis between the black metal character of the band’s debut and the post-rock currents of its come-back, an un-cathartic journey through the sewers of modernity."
