From The Fallen
California based From the Fallen is a 4 piece female fronted modern rock and metal band, offering up heavy yet melodic music to the masses. Having just completed their latest release, Scorned, with Juan Urteaga (ex Vile front man) they’re about to hit the big time. I hear echoes of people asking why so, well, Juan had just finished working on the latest Machine Head album and based on that, this could well be worth checking out!
Multiple Personalities opens proceedings and you immediately realise why you should be checking these guys out, the bass drum hammers away behind scathing guitar lines whilst the female vocals take the lead on the track. At first you’re a little taken aback by the contrast of the vocals over the music but soon everything clicks into place, the voice alternating between raw and edgy then moving to clean and melodic – this is a voice well worthy of a listen for sure. The guitar line roves around the neck creating a sound which echoes around the room and gives a real sense of these guys on the live scene, riffing around to keep the track pumping onwards. I think what really stands out on this track for me is how the guitars seem to contrast the vocals yet they all form this melee of what can only be described as distorted melody. Unrelenting to the second that the track ends, this track will leave you sitting back without a single question in your mind, maybe it’s the production or maybe it’s the music but this is some seriously accomplished music.
Second track Run continues the theme of the album so far, opening with hammering guitars and underpinning them with a solid bass beat, all of which creates a massive sound which will have you cranking that volume ever higher as it progresses. Layered vocals add a new depth to this track, adding further to the already sublime vocals as the backing music carries on it’s distorted journey. Almost catchy this time around, this track is one which you can imagine being played live, whipping the crowd into a frenzy and getting crowds chanting along with the band. As the track fades and Give kicks in, everything seems to slow down a notch. Opening clean before ushering in a slow yet distorted guitar line under multi layered vocals – this is a big opening for a track! Continuing to keep the beat slow throughout the track, this is a seriously powerful track which will render you unable to do anything other than listen. The sheer power behind the vocals alone is enough to make you realise how accomplished these guys are, and when coupled with the backing combination of drums, bass and guitars you’ve got a force which is certainly to be reckoned with. Another track which is sure to please crowds on the live scene, this is a triumph in the truest sense of the word and one which I’m sure I’ll revisit time and time again.
Finishing with title track Scorned, I can’t help but wonder if the band saved the best for last here. The track opens with a funky pumping mix of guitars bass and drums, the tone set to get people moving in time with them. Bringing in the vocal line to make sure you’re fully there and paying attention, this track soon takes on the form of all the others but raises the bar as if to say THIS is what we can do when we really put our minds to it. Catchy, powerful and downright melodically heavy, this track finishes the selection of tracks leaving you wanting more but also looking forward to what’s to come next, the promise being something pretty damned awesome!
From The Fallen have been a band who I’ve already spent a lot of time listening to since they got in touch. Their music is powerful and easy to connect to meaning they’re open to various audiences, I sincerely hope their name gets out there to be heard fully. Jumping from beat to beat each track is like a chapter of a story, the album being the whole book put together for you to sit back and enjoy. I for one hope to hear a lot more from these guys and based on this, I think I’m going to!
