Chicago metalcore outfit Dead to Fall initially came together in 1999, undergoing various lineup changes throughout its existence. The band
debuted to rave reviews in 2002 with
Victory Records' Everything I Touch Falls to Pieces. Players on their first album consisted of Jonathan Hunt (vocals), Bryan Lear (guitar),
Justin Jakimiak (bass), Sean Nichols (guitar),
and Dan Craig (drums), and the band set the stage early for their brutal blend of heavy metal, hardcore, and Swedish metal tendencies.
Tours with the Red Chord, Darkest Hour,
and Malevolent Creation followed before member changes ensued. For their sophomore effort, Hunt and Jakimiak were rounded out by
drummer Evan Kaplan and guitarists Antone
Jones and Matt Matera (ex-7 Angels 7 Plagues). The more death metal-oriented Villainy & Virtue, produced by Eric Rachel (Atreyu, the
Dillinger Escape Plan), appeared in September
2004, and the band next spent time on the road with Napalm Death, Most Precious Blood, and Remembering Never. Tim Java joined in on
drums the following January; Chris Nolan
replaced Justin Jakimiak on bass three months later. Returning to the studio, Dead to Fall next issued The Phoenix Throne in early April
2006. By this time, the lineup was comprised
of Hunt, Java, guitarist Logan Kelly, bassist Chad Fjerstad, and guitarist Aaron Nelson. Phil Merriman eventually replaced Matera and made
his recording debut with the band on Are
You Serious?, released in February 2008.
Dead to Fall broke up on April 6, 2008 due to financial and personal problems. « hide |
