Of The Fallen Talks of the Changes, Challenges and Life Revolving Around Them!

 


Deathcore band OF THE FALLEN has gone through a lot o changes in life and in the band. But that still has stopped them from themselves or creating music. They have gone on to release countless singles, with another on the way. While the band may have seen mishaps here and there with changes in life, they want to keep releasing music, playing shows sometime soon and carrying on with life! The band talks of these matters at hand below.

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

Originally the band name came from a collaboration of a Dimmu Borgir and a Suicide Silence song/lyric  though from members that are no longer members of the band.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Just love heavy deathcore style music, I think deathcore style has the most diversity in its own genre. Can be mire death metal, can be more metalcore and all in between.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

With the line-up now, none of us knew one another before the band began.

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We are from Houston Texas and the music scene is honestly thriving like no other. Hardcore, deathmetal, grindcore is the face of the Houston local scene(s). Some bands I can recommend:

Godhand
Supremacytx
Stabbing
Chironex
Oceans of slumber
VNDTA
How all this Ends

And so many more….

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Right now mental health issues and aspects are what inspires the writing process band wise we collect from everything tbh.

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

The first songs we have all follow a concept of a man who goes through war(s) and does unspeakable things on the conquest. Started out in medieval times and through his own struggles and shortcomings gets possessed by a subconscious. He wants to be forgiven for his own miss doings but it comes at a price of his loved one. After finding this out he goes into hell/the dead world to find his love and rescue her. The only problem is he is re-reincarnated every 100 years and has to go through it all over again until he can find why/come to terms of what he has done

The newer songs we will have come out will be strictly about mental Health disorders that we all deal with

-addiction
-ptsd
-depression
-body dysphoria
-anxiety

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

Yes, we write everything pretty much the guitarist Wayne uses guitar pro to write our the structure/melodies and then gives it to everyone else. We then fine tune it, jam it together and fine tune it again. Once we record the instruments we have our vocalist write the lyrics/fine tune the lyrics.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

We have released singles mainly:

-Servitude
-Lamentations
-Aeons of doubt
-Harlots
-Death Whispers (most recent Single)

(Releasing another song Feb 28th)

People can expect melodies, chugs, breakdowns, orchestra, screeching vocals, and grooves

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

Yes we will be releasing a new song on February 28th, with newer material expected with our new vocalist soon after.

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

For right now tour and show wise we are sorta on a hiatus from those due to a lot of life changing things and trying to come back from those. For 2024 we took the whole year off because of mental health, physical health, member issues and life changes. We are working towards getting shows possibly in the summer time but with our main songwriter/ band mate Wayne the guitarist,  he is having a newborn that will be his main priority.

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

We plan on carrying on, getting out there with new music, new life, and a new aspect of life.

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

We are on all streaming platforms, merch we haven't recouped anything quite yet. Though we do have some older designs still in stock in our inventory Though sizes are limited.
