Biography With over 27 million plays on MySpace, a 126 date world tour in 16 countries in 2010, and over 100,000 records sold in the U.S. alone', the story of blessthefall is already an impressive tale. Making a much-anticipated return with a new singer and a pulverizing new album, the band has been revived by their determination to make the next chapter of the Phoenix, AZ metal-hardcore band their best. Produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Incubus, Escape The Fate, Story Of The Year), blessthefall’s new album Witness is a brain-blisteringly epic aural assault, combining their trademark stabbing riffs and soaring melody with a whole new energy. The album debuted in the Billboard Top 200 at #56 and the Independent Chart at #6. Despite only forming five years ago, the band has the touring resume of scene veterans, having already wowed crowds at Bamboozle, Warped Tour and Taste Of Chaos, and on the road with Avenged Sevenfold, August Burns Red, Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying and Silverstein. Their live attack continued throughout the Fall by co-headlining the Atticus Tour w/ Finch, followed by a European tour at the end of the 2009. The band will spend a summer on Cool Tour with As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between The Buried And Me and Cancer Bats, before heading to South America and Europe with August Burns Red.
