Bio
"For some reason, after culminating a stern testament to DIY methodology, this Phoenix based modern-age thrash band singled my lame ass out as the first national journalist to get his greasy mitts on their debut Inherit The Downfall. I’m all about this record right now, honestly. Having listened to every thrash band under the sun, it’s a pleasure to hear a huge sound drenched in a mosaic of powerhouse riffs. The shred-frenzy guitar machine is relentless, just hook after hook. While Fracture Point have all the basics of the current American metal wave down-pat, they go for the jugular of technical death metal that screams classic strains of Poland, Sweden & Italy. There are black metal flourishes, grindy sections, groove-heavy breakdowns, tons of memorable shreds. All the blood sweat and beer of every dive bar this act has played comes pouring out in the relentlessness of this disc. A slick way to get the drop on us all, and produced by mix-meister Cory Spotts (Job for a Cowboy, Knights of the Abyss), no less." -Ryan Bartek, Hails and Horns Magazine.... "While it's entirely within contemporary expectations, their well-controlled Lamb-of-God-meets-gripping-Meshuggah-esque-groove has an efficiency that still gives rise to a sense of atmosphere their peers so often lack" -Metal Hammer Magazine.... "Fracture Point is creative and innovative enough that they may stand the current trend on it's head"... "All the nuances of modern American metal are there like the staccato drumming and crushing riffs. But on 'Inherit The Downfall' you will find more: like some traditional heavy metal guitar work ('Image'), and yes, even progressive metal moments ('Mind Ruin' and others). The rest is simply 'in your face, kick ass and ask questions later' modern American metal." -Dangerdog.com.... "Fracture Point’s greatest talent lies in crafting mosh pit ready grooves. Every song on Inherit the Downfall is chock-full of the type of chugging, mid paced riffs that practically command young men of a certain inclination to slam themselves into one another. Fortunately, for those who like to enjoy their music on a more cerebral level, Fracture Point spice things up with enough syncopation, tempo changes, bursts of melody, bits of clean guitar and occasional solos to avoid being one dimensional." Metalreview.com.... "This is a band that does not waste time getting down to business, taking that path of all or nothing straight into your face. Right from the start, this no nonsense band leaps out at you, and makes you listen whether you want to or not. For most, you end up really listening to them. Wonderfully savage guitar work (Matt Hobart) knocks around the mind while the cascade of furious growls and spat vocal from the vocalist, Ben Rosputni, show equal amounts of viciousness and amazing intelligence in one. Bassist( and piano player) Matt Bond and Drummer Dan Ammon round out the line-up of Fracture Point... setting the stage for the most the aggressive band of thrashers in a very long time." -Metalbite.com .... "Combining sweeping guitars, crushing rhythms and a variety of metal influences, the band’s derangement leads to a debut album that’s bruising, groove-oriented and technical. Inherit The Downfall melds brutal riffs with melodic interludes into a catchy bit of thrashing metal. It’s hard to find anything wrong with this album, especially with such an impressive and rich production. It’s got a little bit of everything for everyone, all in one horn throwing package." -Mouthforwar.net .......... ....Need Fracture Point's logo?......Click here for a high resolution version.............This link will allow you to download both a black and white version of the Fracture Point logo..... ............ ...... .. .......... ............ ........ .. .. ........ ............ .. .. ........ ....April 17th - The Clubhouse - $12...... ....More Info.... .......... ........ ........ ...."Inherit the Downfall" Album - $10.00...... ...... ...... ........ ..........Inherit Shirt - $12.00.. .. ...... ........ ..........Snake Shirt - $15.00.. .. ...... ........ ..........Screaming Face Shirt - $15.00.. .. ..SOLD OUT.. ........ .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... ...... .. .. .. ...... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
