Chicago metalcore outfit Dead to Fall ab initio came together in 1999, undergoing diverse lineup changes end-to-end its beingness. The band debuted to rant reviews in 2002 with Victory Records' Everything I Touch Falls to Pieces. Players on their number one album consisted of Jonathan Hunt (vocals), Bryan Lear (guitar), Justin Jakimiak (bass), Sean Nichols (guitar), and Dan Craig (drums), and the band set the stage early for their brutish blend of heavy alloy, hardcore, and Swedish metal tendencies. Tours with the Red Chord, Darkest Hour, and Malevolent Creation followed before member changes ensued. For their soph campaign, Hunt and Jakimiak were rounded out by drummer Evan Kaplan and guitarists Antone Jones and Matt Matera (ex-7 Angels 7 Plagues). The more than death metal-oriented Villainy & Virtue, produced by Eric Rachel (Atreyu, the Dillinger Escape Plan), appeared in September 2004, and the band adjacent exhausted time on the route with Napalm Death, Most Precious Blood, and Remembering Never. Tim Java united in on drums the following January; Chris Nolan replaced Justin Jakimiak on bass trey months subsequently. Returning to the studio, Dead to Fall next issued The Phoenix Throne in early April 2006. By this metre, the lineup was comprised of Hunt, Java, guitar player Logan Kelly, bassist Chad Fjerstad, and guitar player Aaron Nelson.
