October Project…. Still Haunts Us

Is e ‘n cadal fada ni ‘n t-iomradh teth.

  • Long sleep makes hot rowing.-Old Scottish Proverb.

In 1996, Sony Music killed the career of the most promising, most talented band ever to grace the face of music. I remember when my friend Hannah who told me she kept a copy of October Project‘s debut album for me on the record store. It’s the most beautiful music I have ever heard coming from a folk/alternative scene. And much more , because Mary Fahl‘s voice became the center of the band’s artistry. Her’s was labeled as ‘the kiss of the vampire’. Dark, dramatic and often time ethereal, Mary has the voice that can match Lisa Gerrard‘s cinematic appeal as well as Moya Brennan‘s Celtic cries. But yes they didn’t sell as expected because there was no support from the record company in the first place. Now, people still continue to rediscover them from Amazon as well as any source including You Tube. Yes the unrest for the injustice continues!
