Aurora, Denver CO, United States (2002 – present)

Fear Before the March of Flames (now Fear Before) is an / band that formed in Aurora, Colorado in 2002. Their initial sound carried out on their first two records was closer to a melding of , , and , drawing influence from the likes of Converge, The Blood Brothers, and Botch. Some even considered them during this time period to be because of their technical riffs and song structure.

They released their debut album, Odd How People Shake, in 2003 on Rise Records, and after gaining some notoriety, were signed to Equal Vision Records, who rereleased their debut in the January 2004. Their debut was primarily in the vein of post-hardcore, featuring a mix of screamed vocals on the part of David Marion and clean singing provided by Adam Fisher. The instrumental work on Odd How People Shake is best described as typical of that of most melodic metalcore artists of the day, and 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, while on their sophomore album, Art Damage, “The Story of the Curious Oysters” has more to do with the Disney movie, Alice in Wonderland). It is interesting and worth noting that the band’s cover art on all three of their albums feature skyscrapers.
