Gallery of Sun and Stars

As of today (and just in time for Winter solstice!), we have commenced recording of our 2nd album, which is tentatively entitled "Gallery of Sun and Stars". The album is a musical exploration of the cycles of nature, mainly the diurnal cycle of day and night- represented by the sun and stars. But the album also focuses on the cycle of seasons and the feelings that arise from the change of seasons, and represents the life-death cycle of all living beings. We are very excited to embark on this journey, and when it is complete, we hope that you will enjoy our creation.

"A really strong debut album in the tradition of doyens such as Ulver in their Black Metal period, early In The Woods..., but also newer bands such as Wolves In The Throne Room or Agalloch; at the same time, it sounds highly original and unique." EARSHOT.AT
"Fans of Agalloch will be really delighted with this strong album from Canada – or rather, they're going to have a spontaneous outburst of melancholia. Very good!" VAMPSTER.COM
"At this early stage in their career, Finnr's Cane are already masters at producing genuinely reflective black metal!" METALTEAMUK.NET
"Finnr's Cane have fashioned an album of hidden depths and one they should be justifiably proud of." ALTERNATIVEMATTER.NET

Like walking through wintery landscapes...

FINNR'S CANE SIGN WITH PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS

"With their atmospherically gripping debut album "Wanderlust," the Canadian band FINNR'S CANE have recently fascinated and enthused lovers of wintery soundscapes somewhere between mighty offshoots of traditionally grim Black Metal and sublime Post Rock. This unusual trio which replaces the bass guitar with a cello is going to take its unconventional musical jaunts supported by PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS in the future, as the musicians have signed a contract on five albums.

In their intuitive, epic tracks, the musicians of FINNR'S CANE intertwine bitter-cold riffs with gorgeous melodies, Black Metal frenzy with ambient-like atmospheric rock, only following their infallible instinct for exciting soundscapes far from well-worn paths. All these features will be apparent in April, when a new edition of the rarely available "Wanderlust" with enhanced artwork will be released."
