Falloch was formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2010 by Andy Marshall and Scott McLean.

Their aim is to create music which conveys atmosphere and emotion through a wide variety of styles including Metal, Post-Rock and Folk. The lyrics focus around the themes of nostalgia, sorrow, nature and longing. Having a deep connection with the Scottish landscape, the band took their name from the Falls of Falloch waterfall in Crianlarich.
