On the road for their first coast-to-coast Canada Tour of 2023 and the fourth of the year since touring across Eastern Canada earlier this year in support of their sophomore album “From the Ashes” released this past April, Edmonton’s Fall Of Earth is devastated to announce the postponement of the remaining dates of their “Road To Purgatory Tour" due to an unexpected family emergency.
"We apologize to our fans across Canada, as well as the venues, promoters, and media who supported us on this tour. Out of respect for the band and its members, we respectfully request privacy at this time. Please be assured that Fall Of Earth will continue to be among Canada’s most active touring bands, with its existing lineup, and will return to the road as soon as we are able. We love the road and all of you who support us. We appreciate your understanding." - Alex, Brody, Brendan, Myles, & Matt (Fall Of Earth)
The "Road To Purgatory Tour" kicked off on September 8th in Peace River, AB, and headed towards British Columbia, and went East towards Quebec and was to continue to the Maritime provinces for a trek across 9 Canadian Provinces for two months of 40-plus performances that would head back West and wrap up in Saskatoon, SK on November 18th (dates listed below).
What the tour press has said about the band:
"What if a band took numerous metal genres and combined them to form a monstrous kaiju? This is the modus operandi of Edmonton’s Fall of Earth. Known more succinctly as “hybrid metal,” Fall of Earth’s sound encompasses death, thrash, progressive, metalcore; you name it, they have it cranked to 11." - Edmonton Journal
"Listen to Fall of Earth lead singer Alex Rye belt out the title track of the metal band’s sophomore album, From the Ashes, and you’d swear it was Beelzebub himself growling and grunting from the bowls of hell. Then hear Rye’s speak over the phone. No demonic images whatsoever. Just the sound of a well-spoken young man sporting a velvety voice that would be right at home accompanying a mainstream ad plugging the latest in SUVs." - Sault Star (Sault Ste. Marie, ON)
"Fall of Earth coming to Victoria - Hybrid metal is sure to electrify the crowds... To say Fall of Earth is a work in progress is anything but a negative review of this immensely talented group of musicians." - Monday Magazine (Victoria, BC)
"a mélange of genres with elements of progressive, death, and thrash." - Penticton Western News (Penticton, BC)
"hybrid-metal heroes... It’s not your average Canadian band that can secure opening-support slots for popular American extreme-metal acts as Metal Blade recording artists Allegaeon, but then again Fall of Earth is certainly not your average Canadian band." - E-Know (Cranbrook, BC)
"For Edmonton's Fall of Earth, the Road to Purgatory is one that they've decided will take them across the country." Barrie Today (Barrie, ON)
Fall of Earth has embraced labeling itself as “Hybrid Metal”, as its sound is a contagious mélange of genres, that is continuously being refined. The primary elements come from progressive, death, and thrash, and over time, they find a lot of their tracks becoming longer, more epic, and more dynamic becoming more melodic and groove-oriented, as well as utilizing a healthy balance between heavy sections and clean sections. The latest iteration of the Canadian quartet can be experienced with their recently released sophomore album “From the Ashes”.
Since writing this second album, Fall OF Earth says that they have a better understanding of what they want their music to become and where to steer the direction of their future works. All across the board, their lyrics come from a very personal place and hold a serious connotation.
Creative, unpredictable, and melodic, with a wide variety of influences, Fall Of Earth offers a little bit of something for everyone.
