Revenge Of The Fallen are a Portuguese act, founded in 2016.

After two years of going back and forth, experimenting and jamming with different 

musicians, the band consolidated it’s lineup in the end of 2017.

The following year the band would finally perform it’s first gig, at their hometown of 

Cascais (Lisbon), as well as release their first EP “Pareidolia”, which refers to the 

tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous 

visual pattern.

Hyped with the result and acceptance of the EP on the portuguese underground 

movement, the band started to work on a bunch of new songs, more melodical and 

yet faster and more groovier.

In October 2019 the band would release their second EP “UnBroken”, a cathartic 

album for everyone in the band, that had held with lovelife problems in recent 

years, some which led to divorces.

In fact, the pure conception of the record, as well as the track listing were designed 

to replicate their experiences: “Flames”, “Tears”, “End Of The World” and “Moving 

On”.

In 2020, with an extensive schedule of shows already booked, the band saw the 

devastating Covid pandemic stall their music (and the world) to an indefinite status.

Regardless of the situation, ceasing activities or stopping the bullet train was never 

on the table and the band would even change to a bigger rehearsal room, in order 

to survive the pandemic and further develop their musical legacy, as soon as the 

Covid restrictions applied to the Portuguese territory would allow.

In 2021, a one-off song called “The Ballad Of The Saints” would be released on all 

the streaming services, where the band already had it’s catalog, but with a video on 

YouTube as well.

Individually recorded at each of the bands members house, and mixed by the 

drummer, Carlos Araújo, it would be the first experience of the band, challenged to 

make something different, and yet, meaningfull.

A representation of pain, sorrow and hope.

In the same year, the band devoted their absolute attention to the writting and 

recording of their debut album.

After a couple of months of writting the new material, it was time for taking it to the studio: Nox Messor Sound Studios in the Portuguese capital, property of Tiago Mesquita, was the selected spot.

So, without missing a heartbeat, all songs were promptly recorded during the 2021 

autumn.

In January 2022, “Fall From You” would be released as the first single of the album, 

“Echo Chambers”.

Shortly after, a video for “A Fine Day To Live” would be released, in a video shot at

the band’s rehearsal room, turning it into a white void with a multitude of layers 

and psychadelic colours, produced by the band’s drummer Carlos Araújo.

The video gained some hype, and the band, in full throttle mode, expeditiously went 

on to film the third video for the album, their first ever song in native language 

Portuguese, “Ilusão”.

Shot on a venue that has hosted concerts for the likes of Porcupine Tree, Katatonia, 

Moonspell, R.A.M.P. or the Brazilian act Ratos de Porão, the video - entirely in b&w -

would tell a story on perception of light and darkness, produced by the band’s guitarist 

Fábio Gil. With the fascinating choreography of Beatriz Pereira, the video would arrive 

the 10.000 views on YouTube in an interval of a few days, making it the most watched

video of the band.
