Biography

Odd How People Shake (2002-2003)

In 2002, Fear Before the March of Flames was formed in the Denver area with vocalist David Marion, guitarist/vocalist Adam Fisher, bassist Michael Madruga, and drummer Brandon Proff.[5] The band took their name from a local newspaper headline when wildfires swept through their state. The band drew inspiration from bands such as Botch, Converge and The Blood Brothers in creating their music.[6] This article refers to the state capital of Colorado. ...

Once signed to Portland based Rise Records, the band released their debut album Odd How People Shake in July 2003. They gained notoriety outside of Colorado from tours with bands such as The Blood Brothers and Hopesfall.[5]. However, it was on tour with the band Bear vs. Shark in which they were noticed and then signed to the more prominent Equal Vision Records, who re-released their debut in January 2004.[7] Their debut was primarily in the vein of post-hardcore, featuring a mix of screamed vocals on the part of David Michael Marion and clean singing provided by Adam Rupert Fisher. It is rumoured that every song on the album is based on a movie ("Sarah Goldfarb, Where are Your Manners?", for example, is supposedly about Requiem for a Dream).

In exception to their October, 30 2007 show in Houston, TX where they played an acoustic set that included "On the Brightside." Due to a loss in the drummer Clayton Holyoak's family, the band decided to play an acoustic set because they would be at a loss of percussion.


Art Damage (2004-2005)

Their second album, Art Damage, was released on Equal Vision Records in September 2004, and was a marked change in direction for the band. Art Damage featured "a much more straightforward, significantly harder style."[8] Different from the earlier material, FBTMOF changed from the original indie post-hardcore sound to more of a mathcore based sound. The video for the single "Should Have Stayed in the Shallows" was filmed in the same basement as the one used in the film Fight Club[9] and was heavily rotated on MTV2's show Headbanger's Ball.[4] Art Damage, released in September, 2004, is the sophomore album from the mathcore/metalcore band Fear Before The March Of Flames. ...

Their third studio album, The Always Open Mouth, was released on September 19, 2006. Fischer explains that the title of the album to people who act like "an all-knowing superbeing from another realm sent here to save us all or b): a fucking loud mouth bigot. They are The Always Open Mouth."[4] This album marks a considerably different sound from previous recordings, containing a much more experimental side with more emphasis on antiphony between the lead vocalist Marion, and guitarist and vocalist Fisher, and a considerable lesser amount of screaming. It is described as "boldly experimental and brimming with musical complexity"[4]. The band has gone onto reply to fan response that found the album to be a large departure from the sound of Art Damage by stating that they "just wanted to do something we hadn't done before."[7] MTV featured a commercial for the album, showing internet character the "Daniel P. Walthers (aka The Tourretes Guy)", who cursed and complained about the volume.[1]. The first single off of the album was the song "Taking Cassandra to the End of the World Party", and a video was also filmed with director David Bell. The song references the Greek legend of Cassandra, a woman who possessed the gift of prophecy, but was cursed by the fact that no one would believe her tellings. Proff left the band to pursue a teaching career and drummer Clayton "Goose" Holyoak, guitarist Zach Hutchings, and guitarist/keyboardist Billy Johnson were added.[5] The Always Open Mouth is the third album by the Colorado band Fear Before the March of Flames. ... is the 262nd day of the year (263rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

From October 2006 to December 2006, the band played with previous tour-mates Norma Jean, and Between the Buried and Me, on the first ever Radio Rebellion Tour. On November 4th, 2006 in San Diego, California, during a performance for that tour, bassist Madruga accidentally hit vocalist Marion on the side of his face with the headstock of his bass, knocking him unconscious on stage. When he awoke, there was a hole that went all the way through his cheek, and although the band continued to finish the set, he had to be rushed to the hospital to be treated for the injury afterwards.[10] The band missed the following 3 days of the tour. Marion had a full recovery and finished the rest of the Radio Rebellion Tour. Between the Buried and Me is a progressive metal quintet from Raleigh, North Carolina. ...

In March 2007, the band played a portion of the Russian Circles Plan Midwest Tour and played one day at the Appalachian Annihilation Festival. That month as well, the band again changed their lineup. They stated that Billy Johnson (touring guitarist) left the band due to personal reasons. Johnson seems to have left on good terms.

LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Fear Before the March of Flames: Art Damage (496 words)
Fear Before the March of Flames is probably a big fan of the legendary aforementioned Gravity label bands of the mid-1990's, but based on their sound, I'd be willing to bet that they're even bigger fans of their contemporaries such as The Blood Brothers.
Regardless, Fear before the March of Flames proves that the band members are capable musicians, but the lyric-writing is still perhaps a bit suspect.
As it was said before, listen to the album and get a feel for the intentions in that way rather than trying to follow along with the liner notes.
