- Fortunate Fall is an anarcho-metal band from Inglewood, California. They write, produce, and distribute all of their music in true DIY fashion through the indie label Riot Ready Records. Founded in 2009, chief songwriter Wesley Richards has released all of the band's music under his label and recording studio Riot Ready Records with founding members Nathan Evan Williams on drums and Paul Allen on bass. Fortunate Fall's style has several different elements of extreme metal while leaning heavily on melodic death metal and grindcore, and touch on topics such as working-class rights and mental health. The band is known for their aggressive melodies and subject matter, but also for their DIY ethic and approach to production and touring. In addition to self-producing and distributing all of their releases under the indie label Riot Records Records, the band's two major tours were self-managed and funded as well. They released a number of early demos and splits with other metal bands from predominantly the LA-based metal scene developing a devout cult following among the LA area coastal cities, leading to the 2013 release of A Death Related Party,. It was after this release that their reputation for chaotic, aggressive live shows began to spread, often opting to perform in the middle of the floor as opposed to the stage. Following the release of 2014's Camera Obscura, the band embarked on their first coast-to-coast tour, again delivering their unique on-stage antics to the soundtrack of their aggressive high octane music but this time in front of a national audience. After the release of their third full-length album The Orange Scare in March 2017, they again embarked on a nationwide tour. They returned to LA and in 2018 to release their fourth full-length release The Black Party. (en)
