How do you say Happy Halloween in European?

I am getting far too antsy about these weekly playlists. I now spend my weeks doing little more than sifting through masses of albums in an attempt to find you the very best (metal) music has to offer. I can't take all of the credit for myself, so I should send out a very general thank you to anyone who has ever recommended a song over the internet. I'm not sure I have had a more fulfilling week for discovery of both the old and new than these past five or six days:

Beyond Embers & The Earth - Falloch (My week has been steeped in music from the UK. Few - if any - songs better than this. An elegant blend of folk and metal all wrapped up with a big ol' post rock bow. Fittingly named for the striking Falls of Falloch, their music exudes every fallen drop of water that inspired this album.)

Where We Believe - Falloch (Panflute. Enough said)

We Are Gathering Dust - Falloch (Just listen to Falloch...)

Earth: As a Womb - Altar of Plagues (The album that inspired one of my latest written endeavors, revisited finally after a few unexplained months on the back burner. The United Kingdom has, for now, fettered my heart.)

A Valley Thick With Oaks - Winterfylleth (How fitting it is to end October with a band whose name once denoted the years tenth month.)

Wayward Souls [Album] - Splinterskin (An alluring and masterfully written neofolk album. I feel much of the atmosphere is lost if not considered as a whole)

Infernal Sun - Septic Flesh (Unarguably the consummate Septic Flesh album. An album that flawlessly weaves a wall of death metal through a valley of well-orchestrated symphony. However, their most recent work, The Great Mass, might digest a little smoother.)
Trapped in the Closet - R. Kelly (Oh my god a rubber.)

Happy Halloween folks.


By the way, Mark's and my badass pumpkin:
