Formed in the recesses of western Washington in 2002 by brothers Erik and Brian, and influenced by such classic thrash bands as Slayer, Sepultura, Exodus, Megadeth, to name but a few. Fallen Angels sound quickly developed and was only strengthened by the addition of the greatly talented Jeremiah (guitars) and Carl (bass) . Late spring of 2004 saw Fallen Angels entering Crisma Studios to record their debut CD entitled “Cries of War.†Sensing a declining interest and input, the band decided to part ways with Jeremiah. After auditioning several guitarists Adam accepted the invitation and was welcomed by all involved into the Fallen Angels family, bringing forth new ideas and energy to the band. December saw Fallen Angels playing direct support to two legendary bands in the scene, L.A. speedsters HIRAX and Seattles own THE ACCUSED at the Seattle Metal Fest. It was there, after a guest vocal appearance, that Brad was asked to fill the vocalist position full time, which had been handled by Erik up until this point. After declining the initial invitation Brad chose to join as full time vocalist. During this period Fallen Angels opened for Testament and Sadus as well as thrashing their way around the Puget Sound area. Soon Adam left to pursue other musical endeavers, and Rob entered as second lead guitarist. From the time Brad and Rob entered the band, everyone was being exposed to new unheard bands and the Fallen Angels style really started to develop. A dash of Pestilence mixed with Demolition Hammer, an ounce of Death and heaping pile of Bay Area thrash is the concoction that Fallen Angels currently utilizes. Pushing the envelope of what thrash should sound like with their ever evolving style and sound, garnering a growing respect from their peers in the Seattle metal scene and new fans with every show, Fallen Angels have become poised to take a key role in the world wide thrash scene! Fallen Angels have fast become a force to be reckoned with, able to pack as much of a punch as the founding fathers of thrash all while proving the metal underground is growing stronger now than it ever was in Seattle! Classic thrash with a truly modern edge, Fallen Angels are the powerful sound of new talent building on the illustrious foundations of thrash. Prepare yourselves for a true thrash onslaught!
