Grey Skies Fallen
Though hailing from New York City, Grey Skies Fallen has
quite a European vibe going.
Formed in 1996 as Eve Of Mourning, the band released a couple of
demos before a lineup solidified, during which the name change
to Grey Skies Fallen took place, and finally their debut arrived
in 1999.
The Fate Of Angels sees the band playing
a sort of somber, melancholy semi-doom metal that can be
likened to mid-period
My Dying Bride
among others.
There's a majestic quality to the songs, with guitars and keyboards
intertwining well to create an orchestral mood, and
both death and clean vocals are present (more of the latter), both
to good effect.
The Fate Of Angels is a solid and recommended doom metal album.
A second album, Tomorrow's In Doubt, was released in 2002, before
the band decided to call it a day in March of 2003 following the
departure of a core member and a general feeling that the band's
style had changed to much to continue under the GSF banner.
But the breakup was short-lived, as they were back in business
by June of that year.
With a style less doomy in nature (self-described as "dark rock"),
a new demo was recorded in 2004, followed by
Two Way Mirror in 2006.
Since then the band had been put on indefinite hiatus, though
not formally disbanded.
