Fallfiftyfeet

Founded in 2020 by two friends who met through Tumblr in the 2010s, much of this origin story is subtly—but expertly—demonstrated in the dynamic approach to metalcore provided by none other than Fallfiftyfeet. Balancing elements of blistering, primal metalcore against ethereal, catchy and occasionally haunting melodic alternative rock, the stellar an carefully curated sophomore full length Counterfeit Recollections feels very much like the joining of two complementary components. Their stellar combination of melody and malevolent metalcore is nothing new, though, and is indeed something they’ve been honing since the release of their debut album, Twisted World Perspective—a gnarled, rambunctious chimera of crushing aggression and spacious atmosphere, now with a more refined, dynamic luster. Counterfeit Recollections beautifully walks a tightrope that so few bands are able to, especially at a relatively early point in their career. While certain tracks put the listener in the throes of a dire fight-or-flight response with adrenaline pumping and elbows flying, others—like the records lead single and title track—juxtapose these same moments of primal intensity against a soaring, mesmerizing chorus in way that adds depth and impact to metalcore’s beloved heavy/soft stylings. There are a lot more things to say about this stunning record and the unique band that crafted it—but suffice it to say that Fallfiftyfeet are a brilliant, creative and incredibly resourceful band that make a style of metalcore that is as precious and rare as it is pulverizing.
