Great Metalcore Sounds with Escape the Fate

Las Vegas, Nevada is the place of origin of metalcore, post hardcore band Escape the Fate. To date, this energetic group has music merch consisting of three EPs, six singles, two albums and eight videos under their belt.

Band History

The original band members, Omar Espinosa, Ronnie Radke, Robert Ortiz, Bryan Money and Max Green came together six years ago in Pahrump, Nevada. It was only two years after their initial meeting though that they were able to churn up their first EP “There’s No Sympathy for the Dead.” It was a little later after this that they were able to release their first Escape the Fate album, “Dying is Your Latest Fashion” containing two songs from their first EP. Somewhere during the production of their album release, keyboardist Carson Allen left the group to join On the Last Day.

The band participated in a tour called the Black on Black tour the following year. During this event, Omar Espinosa left the band due to personal issues, leaving the band without a rhythm guitarist. Vocalist Ronnie Radke was forced by the other members to leave the band as well moments after he got into trouble with the law, resulting in him being sentenced to prison. Craig Mabbitt, who used to be a part of Bless the Fall band had to temporarily fill in Radke's role. The role then switched to a permanent one as he remains the lead singer of the band while the members, Max Green, Bryan “Monte” Money, and Robert Ortiz stayed handling the lead guitar, bass guitar, and drums roles, respectively.

Studio Albums Released

It was on September 26, 2006 that the Escape the Fate album “Dying is Your Latest Fashion” came out. Ronnie Radke is given credit for being the writer and composer behind all the tracks. Of the eleven songs, two were lifted from their EP “There’s No Sympathy for the Dead” while nine are originals. “Look Your Best” is a Japanese bonus track that was also released.

A second album, “This War is Ours” followed the first release after two years. This time it was Craig Mabbitt who took center stage with his perfect vocal rendition of the band’s songs. This second piece of work is shorter than the first one. The deluxe special edition however contains more music for fans to enjoy. It carries remixed and acoustic versions of “Harder Than You Know” and two new tracks that were not previously introduced. There’s more to this second release. It also contains a DVD that details some behind the scenes events, a tour documentary and a couple of music videos. This is the most recent release from the band after having come out with it on April of 2010.

Escape the Fate revealed their plans to start a new third album during Warped Tour 2009. Recording began winter 2009 with the release originally slated for spring 2010. A few demo songs are already finished along with featured song which is co-written by Mick Mars of Motley Crue fame. It was recently announced that the target release date moved to mid to late summer 2010. Catch it then at your local band store. They are currently active in online social networking sites including MySpace, Twitter and Facebook.
