FALLEN ANGELS was formed in the recesses of western Washington in 2002 by brothers Erik (guitar, vocals) and Brian Hansen (drums), and influenced by such classic thrash bands as SLAYER, SEPULTURA, EXODUS, MEGADETH, to name but a few. Their sound quickly developed and was only strengthened by the addition of the greatly talented Jeremiah Reiman (guitar) and Carl Larsson (bass, ex-member of SKELATOR, EVANGELIST, WAKING HOUR).Late spring of 2004 saw FALLEN ANGELS entering Crisma Studios to record their first 10 track demo entitled "Cries Of War". Sensing a declining interest and input, the band decided to part ways with Jeremiah. After auditioning several guitarists, Adam Bath accepted the invitation and was welcomed by all involved into the FALLEN ANGELS family, bringing forth new ideas and energy to the band. December 2004 saw the band playing direct support to two legendary bands in the scene, L.A. speedsters HIRAX and Seattle's own THE ACCUSED at the Seattle Metal Fest. It was there, after a guest vocal appearance, that Brad Kennaugh (member of SEMESUS and DISINTERMENT) was asked to fill the vocalist position full-time, which had been handled by Erik up until that point. After declining the initial invitation, Brad chose to join, thus completing the line-up of the band. In 2005 FALLEN ANGELS released their second 4 track demo. During this period the band opened for TESTAMENT and SADUS as well as thrashed their way around the Puget Sound area. Soon Adam left to pursue other musical endeavors, and Rob Steinway (member of INQUINOK, SHADED ENMITY, IN MEMORIUM, ex-FUNERAL AGE, ex-EVANGELIST) joined 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. 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. They 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. FALLEN ANGELS' debut album "Rise From Ashes" was released on September 13th 2008. Fans of old school thrash should not miss this one! Thrash or be thrashed! |
