For a five piece, unsigned band hailing from a place called Ipswitch in the UK, Echoes Fall have managed to produce three high-quality demo songs that showcase their talents, interests, and, quite possibly, their future.

With the song structures of a death metal band, metalcore’s melodic sensibilities, the musical talent of musicians far older, and hardcore’s grooves, Echoes Fall is a band hard to pin down within a single genre – even the vocals have significant variance, ranging from common screaming to a death rattle that pays homage to Dethklok's Nathan Explosion.  The music is fast, hard-hitting, and engaging, without being cliché, and actually brings to mind the younger, more impressionable, extremely dedicated version of Trivium in their early days.

Everything about this band screams talent and success – from the image they present to their exquisitely perfect demo tracks to their touring tendencies, Echoes Fall seem to be only a small step away from achieving the support of a major label that could propel them directly into the collective consciousness that is the metal scene.  Being added to the rosters of Roadrunner or Metal Blade would very likely result in their achieving massive success within their first year, to the benefit of metalheads worldwide.

Echoes Fall can be found on MySpace and Facebook, and their music is available through iTunes.

"Metal Band of the Week" is a weekly series, published on Saturdays, showcasing metal bands that get less attention than they deserve.
