Fallen Arise

Band,
Rock

2009: The idea for a symphonic metal band had just come into mind. The next step was to write songs, find members and begin jamming in the studio, starting this new project. The first two songs were ”My Fall” and ”Forever Slave”. The second one was rejected too soon, when new songs were created, that were closer to the musical style that the band intended to follow. At the end of 2009 the band line-up was Evelyn – female vocals , Jon Soti – male vocals , Frangiskos – guitars , Gus – keyboards , Renos – drums, Dimitris – session bass-player, and the name was Fallen Arise. In December of 2009 Fallen Arise gave its 1st gig in Athens. 2010: This year begins with some changes in band’s line up. Renos left the band for personal reasons. Chris Stratigos (Sorrowful Angels – Secret Illusion) would be the man behind the drum-kit for the two following shows in Corfu (6 March 2010) & Athens (7 March 2010). There was also another session musician in bass guitar, Nick (Wolfcry). Both shows were awesome and the band was really excited. One month later (April 2010) two members joined to complete the family, Thanos – drums & Maria – bass guitar and then, one of the most important gig came. Fallen Arise would be the opening act for XANDRIA, in Athens (8th of May). The show was amazing and the crown very warm with the band. Later in the summer of 2010 it was time for Fallen Arise to recording their first EP. ”ETERNAL” was recorded in CFN Studios by Dion Christodoulatos and at the same time the band gave another show in Kastoria (3rd GOLDEN APPLE FESTIVAL) in the 14th of July. The last show for 2010 was a year after the first show (18th of December). Same place, beautiful people, amazing night!! 2011: This year begins powerfully for the band. ”Eternal” EP was released and the band gave a great party with lots of friends in RAINBOW ROCK BAR in the 4th of February. ”Eternal” EP received very good reviews from Greek and other European webzines and also from Greek METAL HAMMER (8/10). The first and the last show for 2011 was in 10th ROCK n AID FESTIVAL with INNERWISH, SCAR OF THE SUN & KEADO MORES. In the summer of 2011 the band decided to enter the studio for the 1st full length album. Unfortunately, shortly before the beginning of the recordings, Evelyn left the band, for having completely different philosophy from the other band members. A few days later, the auditions for the new singer had just begun while the band was recording the songs for the 1st album. For a while Milagros Caceres Diaz was the new singer for Fallen Arise, but once again things didn’t work out. So, Fallen Arise and Milagros took separate ways. So did Jon. 2012: The new year had begun very strong. Recording sessions for the 1st album were great and feelings were more than optimistic. We are very proud of the collaboration with DEVASOUNDZ STUDIOS, as also with Fotis Benardo (SixforNine, ex-Septic Flesh , ex-Chaostar) & Christos Antoniou (Septic Flesh), Thimios Krikos (Innerwish). We also had another member in the family, our new singer Spyla! 2013: Mixing and mastering sessions of the new album were in progress and went better and better day by day. Finally in May of 2013 the new album was ready and the band is searching for a label for the release of the new album. By June of 2013 Fallen Arise welcomed two new members. Aggelos Mal (bass guitar) took Maria’s place, when she left the band for personal reasons and after 1,5 year of playing with many session male vocalists, the band welcomed Christos Kontoulis as the new male vocalist of the band. 2014: It was a great year for the band. ”Ethereal” debut album received very good feedback from media. The band gave very successfull gigs all over Greece.The most importants were at Noisehead Festival Vol.1 which took place in Athens (@Kyttaro Club), UndeRock Festival at Tripolis and last the band was the opening act for OUTLOUD’S gig at November 16th 2014. After that, Fallen Arise entered the studio again for a new album. 2015: It was a very creative year for Fallen Arise. The band entered once again Devasoundz Studios to record “Ethereal” ‘s successor. The album consists of 13 brand new tracks, and lyrics comprise a tale that takes us back in the Victorian Era. A tale that discusses the human mind and body decay, through a fiction. In ths album we had the honour to work with 40 excellent musicians that played the orchestral parts in our new album. Orchestral recordings, as well as mixing and mastering sessions took place in Zero Gravity Studios. Fully satisfied as we were with our collaboration with Devasoundz Studios in our debut album, we chose to work again with Fotis Benardo for the final mixing and mastering sessions of the album. Another happy event for the band is the collaboration with a new and rising label, ROAR! ! (Rock Of Angels Records) who will release our new album entitled “Adeline” on October 20th 2015.
