Grey Skies FallenGrey Skies Fallen started out as a doom metal act in 1996. Originally under the name "Eve of Mourning" they released a demo, then changed their name to Grey Skies Fallen for their first album
"The Fate of Angels" in 1999. The album was a great doom album with slow to mid tempo songs, layers of keyboards, acoustic guitars, both death and clean vocals . In 2003, they released the album
"Tomorrow's in Doubt" that showed a new sound. All the doom elements were still in there somewhere, but the songs were longer, faster and more progressive. It was almost a more melodic death metal approach. Four years pass, and band changed lineups a few times, split up a few times, and was on a long hiatus. Then they got together and released a collection of songs written during this period of time. The album was
"Two Way Mirror", showing a drastic change in style. It was a softer album, with only a hint of death metal vocals, or even distorted guitars. Which brings us to 2009 -- the band is still writing and have plans to record new material this summer. Grey Skies Fallen have been one of my favourite bands and its sad to see them so under appreciated, and just lost in the shuffle of metal music. They deserve to stand out for sure.
Also, check out some video footage of them on YouTube. They've recently just posted a bunch of very interest and comical videos from their past.
