Factory Air Bio:
Fall Well's Nightmare is a Virginia based band that blend theatrics with heavy, aggressive music to create a show that is entertaining and musicly solid. FWN's members come from varied backgrounds and various bands whose definitive styles compliment the overall sound of their music. Formed in February of 2000 as the brain child of former members of the speed/death metal band Cripple Mr. Wah, the rock band Old Dominion, the metal band Sweet Asylum and the rap/core metal band LowPoint. Lead singer, Virus (Tracy Brooks), Drummer, Monger (Greg Parrack), Guitarist, Lord Die (Brad Dye) and bassist, Biohazard ( Justin Bruner); while sitting around with other friends discussing recent shows they had seen came to the conclusion that "the bands of today don't do enough to entertain their audiences" and decided to bring fun and showmanship back to heavy music. Armed with plenty of greasepaint, an electric chair, a guillotine and custom made costumes; the band set out to make the above-mentioned statement a reality. Thus the Nightmare was born. They later added a fifth member new drummer, Dark Matter (Todd Pope), which allowed Monger to move back to guitar his real passion. Their music incorporates influences from such artists as Alice Cooper, Kiss, Pantera, Overkill, Alice in Chains, old Metallica and many others along with their own personal style. Their first live show as Fall Well's Nightmare shocked and quickly won over the crowd, not just with their music but also their appearance and theatrics such as Virus standing over 7 feet tall in full garb, who belted out the vocals and BiohaZard, covered in blood hammering down the foundation of the bands sound. The band recorded their demo at Flat Five Studios in Salem Virginia and soon after a local radio station WROV began playing the track "Hatred Is The Sign" on the regional music program, "The Homegrown Show". Fwn has worked to promote themselves via launching the Fall Well's Nightmare website in March of 2001, distributing their music through MP3.com, the Fwn website, several clubs and music stores. FWN has been booking and playing a many shows as possible. Fan reception for the band has been overwhelmingly positive, which leaves FWN striving toward their next goal of signing with a record label and taking their music and perforance to a larger audience. We are currently recording our second album. New material to be heard soon. A line up change as well. |
