"We'll all fall down to get back up and fight"! This one lyric in the song, Our Lives, may best sum up the philosophy and the genesis of the band's music. Started in late 2005 as an experimental project between musicians Gabe Horning and Mark Bolger, added to in late 2007 with the addition of drummer Dwight Sensenig and completed in early 2009 with the addition of bassist Troy Feuerstein.
Horning and Bolger began writing songs while they were roommates at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. The idea was to piece together a project that had roots in metal, rock, acoustic, and ambient styles of music. They envisioned heavy guitar riffs, powerful drums, atmospheric keyboards and rich melodic vocals; a sound that would have an impact on one both mentally and physically.
The Fallen is based on people's understanding of the world around them and their ability to change whatever they desire; in this case, a way to, "pick yourself up". Each song touches on the difficulties of life; yet presents a practical resolution to the problems we all face everyday. There's no shame in falling down, because we all fall down at different times in “Our Lives”, and will continue to fall, it's all part of the human experience. But you, and only you, are the master of your reality and your destiny. If you don't like who you are or where you are then change it. "If you can work it out the pain will disappear".
In August of 2008, the band released, "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea", an 11 song debut album that quickly carved out its own niche in a sea of cookie cutter music. Each song on the album is unique and stands on its own musical merits. Upon the first albums completion, the band immediately headed back into the studio to work on their second release, "Between The Angels And The Deep Dark Sky", which was released on June 19th, 2009. The album consists of 12 new, unique sounding songs, that showcase the band's evolution as musicians and songwriters. The Fallen now has 23 rock solid, original songs, for which to craft sets from when performing live.
