Search - Dead to Fall :: Everything I Touch Falls to Pieces

It's been done, and much better.

"Ok, Dead To Fall is nothing new or different, not particulary powerful, sonically crushing, agonizingly emotional, etc, etc, etc. They're the kind of 'metalcore' band that makes we wince a bit when I say that word. They've got the long-time-standard breakdowns, those "dun-dun-dadadada-dun-dun" mid-tempo, 4/4 time, open-E and double bass, Shadow's Fall without the groove, crappy breakdowns. Actually, that's probably my biggest gripe about this album... I've heard bands with no real discernable talent at all who can still pull off some decent breakdowns.



As for the rest, it's basically a mix of As I Lay Dying, a little thrashy late-90s death metal, and a bit of mid-years Enslaved-style melodic black metal, which is cool in theory, but very poorly executed. The occasional blast parts are luke-warm, and the crap drum production really doesn't help their cause at all.



They're solid, yeah, but the songwriting has few peaks and valleys, so the album as a whole is a tedious listen with little that sticks in your head."

Victory is starting to get it right again!

"For along time i hated everything victory put out. Then they released darkest hour. That albumn kills! And now we have Dead To Fall. Simply put, This albumn will floor you. METAL! Scathing vocals, Deep death vox. It's all here. Amazing guitar work. Drums with enough energy to keep a small city lit. Melodic , And fast. What a perfect blend. Lots of comparisons to sweadish metal bands, No need to mention names. But i think this stands all by itself. I cant stop listening to it. So pick this one up..."

"Death Metal Is Alive And Well
"Everything I Touch Falls To Pieces," the new cd release from Dead To Fall, is a lesson in hard core, head-banging death metal. Featuring the tracks "Words Ignored," "Like a Bullet", and "Graven Image", this disc should satisfy even the most sinister metal rocker. Bryan Lear and Seth Nichols provide power chords and catchy harmonics that are sure to chill your spine. Justin Jakimak on bass is likely to provide a head injury or two. Dan Craig delivers a precise rhythm usually found in automatic weapons and vocalist Jonathon Hunt, well......he sounds like Satan Himself.by Paul Martinowski"
