blessthefall now and then..


Blessthefall is my all-time favorite band. They have only two full-length albums, the second of which was released only 9 days ago with their new vocalist - Beau Bokan. I liked them better before, but they are still awesome. Their live performance is outrageous!

Their first full-length album was released in the year of 2007. It is called "His Last Walk" and is recorded with their former vocalist - Craig Mabbitt, who is now in a band called "Escape the Fate" which also rocks. Mabbitt left blessthefall in the middle of a tour in 2008 due to personal rasons, and when he returned to the band, the other members decided to move on without him. Their bassist, Jared Warth, filled in the vocals for the remainder of the tour. In may 2008, Mabbitt joined Escape the Fate, and in september the same year, blessthefall announced that they had chosen a new lead singer, Beau Bokan, after months of searching.

Bokan was the former lead singer of a band called "Take the Crown" who released one album in 2008 before disbanding. The new blessthefall album, released on october 6th this year is called "Witness." It has a less hardcore sound than "His Last Walk."

Here is one of my favorite songs by them from His Last Walk, called Higinia.. Enjoy :)

  1. I like the way you wrote about this band. It seems that this band is only two years old, but it has a lot of fans. I like the picture which shows the whole band, but I would also like to learn who is who. It seems that this band is awesome and I will find and listen to some of their songs.
