History

The band grew out of high school practice sessions between guitarist Mike Frisby, and drummer Matt Traynor, filling out the roster with singer Craig Mabbitt and bassist Jared Warth to form Blessthefall in 2004. They released a three-track EP in mid-2005 and added guitarist Eric Lambert to form their current lineup after founding member Miles Bergsma left to attend college at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.[1] Phoenix-area gigs with Greeley Estates and an openly religious orientation got the band local press and a deal with Warner subsidiary, Science Records.[2] The band then toured with Alesana and Norma Jean across the United States and Canada.[4] Their debut album, His Last Walk, was released on April 10, 2007, to mixed reviews.[5][6][7] The band completed the entire 2007 Warped Tour circuit nationwide.[4] His Last Walk peaked at #32 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseekers chart.[8] // Extended play (EP) is the name typically given to vinyl records or CDs which contain more than one single but are too short to qualify as albums. ...

And is the only video where the remaining band members, did not play any instruments, dressing up as one of the actors. Two middle-aged twins played the main character of the video. The band members are possible to find and has been hard to spot because they have been somewhat camouflaged, with their suit-and-tie, yet they are visible if paying extra attention on the video.
