Fallen Under (R.I.P. 2003 - 2007)

Without Compromise...out June 2007

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Fallen Under is an aggresive modern rock band along the lines of Mudvayne, 36 Crazyfists, and Seether. Erik Baumann delivers catchy hooks and a scream that could peal the paint off of walls, while musically the band bounces back and forth from bonecrushing riffs to melodic bursts of instrumentation. This diversity has allowed them to share the stage with bands ranging from hardcore metal outfit Byzantine to the progressive rock band Sinch to alt-rockers Socialburn as well as Bobaflex, Psychostick, Indorphine and Agents of the Sun. Look for big things in the 2nd half of 2006 from thie Richmond, Virginia 4 piece.

The buzz around Fallen Under:"Fallen Under brings some thick, heavy guitar parts and a solid rhythm section to the creepy house for this release. They have an interesting mix of vocals vs. guitar in the songs which might remind you of bands like Pantera or Crossfade. Yeah, interesting mix huh? I agree. Fallen Under has that original sound even though they sort of fall into that Alternative-Metal category. You can tell that the band has a wide range of influences musically and they have done a great job in coming up with their own style in an ever-growing world of copycat bands. Songs like So What, Nothing, and Bend the Needle all showcase the bands abilities in musicianship and songwriting and should easily catch the ear of future fans."-The Audio Nut, Entertainmentnutz.com"Fallen Under are comprised of hard-driving rhythms and a dark, soothing voice, but unsuspecting fans - beware! After only one listen you'll have your dose of heart pounding rock and razor sharp metal."-Alyssa, Afternoon DJ for 102.1 the X (Richmond, VA)"Fallen Under is a band that reminds us of just how good hard rock really can be. Simply put- amazing late-90's nu-metal and hard rock mixed with modern-day ass kicking."-Blake Corino, Owner of Core Promotions"Fallen Under not only has a kick ass tight live show, they have a sincerity in their performance that's missing in 99% of the other bands coming up the ranks!That's why they have such loyal fans and the army contiues to build after every show!"-Jon Royce, Owner of Zakk's, Murfreesboro, North Carolina"If guitar driven rock and crowds full of vivacous girls is only a nostalgic memory from the 80's, you have obviously not seen Fallen Under yet. As a matter of fact, gorgeous women, electrifying guitar, dazzling percussion and gripping vocals without question are some of the highlights of a Fallen Under show. Frontman Erik Baumann's seething screams are a breath of fresh air when compared to the generic moans of todays hard rock vocalists. While drummer Jason Truda and bassist Justin "Boz" Boswell get the crowd pumped with pounding rythm, guitarist Peyton Dowdy gets the girls screaming with his boyish looks and the guys screaming with his ripping guitar riffs. Bottom line: Fallen Under is worth writing home about."
