Oct.1, 2024, Portland, Or - Friendly neighborhood metalcore band Fallstar announces their 6th full length record PLEASE SET ME ON FIRE. Born our of some rough years, the songs reflect a last ditch effort for survival.
"Originally this record was titled KIKO, which means “joy”. I wanted to have this album be a joyful statement, but as I wrote the lyrics, I didn’t feel joy. This year has been one of the worst I’ve had in a long time, and writing this record has really helped me get through it. The idea for PLEASE SET ME ON FIRE came to me as I was thinking about how dried up and lifeless I felt. Like a tree that was all but dead, and the only hope of life or beauty left, was for it to burn really bright on the way out. Looking back on how I felt, it seems a bit dramatic, but I think there’s something to it. The idea that even though we feel like there’s nothing left for us in this life, there could still be hope that things can get better. Still hope that we won’t always feel stuck, and that we can still become the people we always hoped we could be. When you’re stuck in an all time low, it feels so lonely, but that’s a feeling shared by so many. Things will get better. Sometimes it takes years, but usually things get better, and this record is about that whole process." - Vocalist Chris Ratzlaff
To keep all expenses in-house the band has left their long time partner Facedown Records and are embarking on their 4th crowdfunding effort via Indiegogo. To promote the campaign the band filmed an incredibly stupid video that perfectly matches their live humor, perfectly poking fun at current metalcore trends and the traditional music industry business.
Check out the campaign and video! That's it. Thanks for reading:)
