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

Fear Before the March of Flames (now known as Fear Before) is an experimental/rock band that formed in Aurora, Colorado in 2002. Their initial sound carried out on their first two records was closer to a melding of screamo, hardcore, and metalcore, drawing influence from the likes of Converge, The Blood Brothers, and Botch. Some even considered them during this time period to be mathcore 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 re-released 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.

You don't have to be that drunk to fall from a roof that collapses. Just my two cents.

He stood on a weak spot in the roof, pretty easy thing to do whilst drunk. It's not an especially stupid thing to have done.

Umm, I thought they changed their name to 'Fear Before', why is it being auto-corrected?
