The Fallen

Laguna Hills, CA's the Fallen is a death/thrash metal band composed of vocalist/guitarist Mike Granat, guitarist Mark Venier, bassist Bryan Klinger, and drummer John Skaare, but the former only arrived after predecessors Henry Higgs and Max Wolff performed on the group's two albums, 2000's The Tones in Which We Speak and 2002's Front Toward Enemy, respectively. Neither of those albums fared particularly well with extreme metal fans, though, and it is unclear whether the Fallen will ever make it to a third. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
