As Autumn Calls is a Doom Metal project that was started in the summer of 2005 by Andrew and James. The band was formed in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, a small city in Northern Ontario. We began playing cover songs from various other metal bands we liked but quickly realized that we would much rather play and perform our own songs. So we began the process of writing our own songs while at the same time learning more about about the recording process. Our first few attempts resulted in a few of extremely raw songs but we learned a hell of a lot. Studio time was not an option since money was tight.The few songs we did mange to write and record were extremely long and did not contain any vocals. We had plenty of lyrics but could not find the right music to fit them. Near the end of 2005, we finally found a sound and we both liked and it fit with the direction we wanted to take the band.
So with several new songs written and a growing knowledge of the recording process we began to record what would become our first album, An Autumn Departure. The process was long since at that time we lived in different cities. During the course of three years we both moved several times with Andrew changing cities until finally moving back to Sudbury for a new job. We finished recording the album in December of 2008 but the album remains unreleased and only available for streaming on our MySpace and Facebook pages.
Now, in 2009 we have started the process all over again. We have written and recorded 3 new songs for our upcoming Emotionless EP. We hope to release the new EP sometime in the early fall 2009.
