The Fallen

Hailing from Laguna Hills, California, the death/thrash metal outfit the Fallen currently features vocalist/guitarist Mike Granat, guitarist Mark Venier, bassist Bryan Klinger, and drummer John Skaare, although Granat joined only after Henry Higgs and Max Wolff had each contributed to one of the band's earlier releases, 2000's The Tones in Which We Speak and 2002's Front Toward Enemy. Those efforts drew scant approval from extreme metal listeners, leaving open the question of whether the Fallen will ever complete a third album.
