Blessthefall (stylized as blessthefall) is an American metalcore band from Phoenix, Arizona, signed to Fearless Records. The band was founded in 2003 by guitarist Mike Frisby, drummer Matt Traynor, and bassist Jared Warth. Their debut album, His Last Walk, with original vocalist Craig Mabbitt, was released April 10, 2007. Their second studio album, Witness, with current vocalist Beau Bokan, was released October 6, 2009. Their third studio album, Awakening, was released on October 4, 2011. Their fourth studio album, Hollow Bodies, was released on August 20, 2013. Their fifth studio album, For Those Left Behind, was released on September 18, 2015.


Blessthefall... The concert was held in a small venue in a small part of Brisbane, Australia and let me say, they rocked the place! The supporting acts could never have brought the place together in the way Blessthefall did! The concert was explosive and was the best night of my life so far.


They started off with their global hit "You Wear a Crown But You're No King" and let me say, that was the real beginning of the night for me. The song brought life into the small but excited crowd. All members of the band were exceptional and you could tell just by their faces, how much they loved the music they were playing.


Beau Bokan, lead singer of Blessthefall, was extremely interactive with the crowd, highfiving and smiling at many of the adoring fans pushing against the stage. He even went as far as inviting the entire crowd up on stage. As the fans left the stage after they had gotten on it, he highfived and hugged many of them.


They finished the concert off with a powerful encore of "The Sound Of Starting Over" and a parting message of telling the fans to listen to their newest album. This last part brought the night to an end but it wasnt the end for everyone. After the show, all members of the band helped to clean up the venue and then go talk to fans who were still hanging around. Having conversations and taking pictures. Elliott Gruenberg, one of the guitarists even went as far to invite me to the side of the stage and give me a pick of his (inscribed with his name and a totoro) and then have a conversation with me about Doctor Who.


This conversation honestly made my night. After the exceptional music and awesome concert, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. This was of course my first concert. And it certainly was the best first concert I could ever have attended.


It is fair to say that British audiences have always found a way to listen to American punk rock bands despite them never having achieved commerciality on our shores. Blessthefall are very much one of these bands as their UK fanbase could only be described as cult due to the sheer dedication and commitment the fans demonstrate when the group announce a tour.


On their latest visit promoting the new LP 'Hollow Bodies', the band seems more well tuned than ever and step onto stage with the same level of rock unpreparedness. Although their demeanour may lead you to believe this is a jam session of sorts, the show itself is well paced and thought out as the group quickly perform some of the new material along with older cuts. The more well known tracks receive the largest reaction and the audience sing back 'What's Left of Me' in force. They wrap up an energetic show with the title track of the new album and leave the UK audience contented with both the material and the performers.


Their performance was so much more fun than i thought it was going to be; i had almost regretted coming to the show because i had a bad day but blessthefall made it so much better. Beau and Jared sang really well, Elliott and Eric were their usual awesome selves and they overall put on a great performance with lots of energy and with a good mix of old and new songs. You could feel the passion radiating off of them with every song that they played and made sure to get the crowd hyped up. My friend also got to take a pic with Elliott after the show, who was super polite to her. I would so love to see them again the next chance i get to when they come back to arizona at a venue that's near me.


Blessthefall is amazing live! If you like heavy metal I highly recommend you go see them. The other bands there eere good too. I had never heard the Plot in You, but now I like them. They did a song called My Old Ways and now it is 1 of my favorite songs. Also Blessthefall did my favorite song by them called Exodus and it was amazing live.


Amazing live, they always amped up the crowd even when everyone was tired. Got personal & close to the fans band is amazing & i highly recommend seeing them. Celebrated their album witness wich is one of their top 3 album's. Had alot of fan favourites.


If you ever went to The Warped Tour, bought a CD back when Best Buy used to sell CD's, or had a Myspace account, I'd bet you know about blessthefall. The band embodies every sense of metalcore greatness with their neck breaking breakdowns to their choruses that have you screaming your heart out while crying as your heart breaks. I was fortunate to catch the band at The Granada Theater in Dallas, TX alongside Caskets, Kingdom of Giants, & Dragged Under as they celebrated 10 years of the Hollow Bodies album.


Opening the show was Seattle natives Dragged Under & open the show they did. I've been familiar with the band since their formation when I used to see frontman Tony Cappocchi on The Dickey Dines Show on YouTube. From the moment I heard the band I was hooked. The band embodies the raw energy of metalcore with a sprinkle of punk and hardcore while delivering just an assault of genius lyrics to leave you craving one more song. I was lucky enough to catch Dragged Under way back when they opened for Beartooth at the House of Blues in Dallas alongside Wage War. The band unfortunately had some members out due to sickness but still delivered a stellar acoustic performance where I got to experience one of the greatest concert moments of my life: I yelled for the band to play "Wonderwall" and got it to happen & it will forever be the greatest moment of my life. I guess Dragged Under remembered that moment and took it personally because they unleashed absolute hell as they got the night started at the Granada Theater on this tour.


Gracing the stage next was Kingdom of Giants & to say the crowd was psyched is an understatement. I had the absolute pleasure of catching Kingdom of Giants about a year ago when they opened for Miss May I at Amplified Live & the band has done nothing but improve since then. The band's 2020 release of the Passenger album proves that they are here to stay. With an absolute onslaught on metalcore magic, the band had the crowd in the palm of their hand. One of the craziest moments had to be when frontman Dana Willax just got bored of being on stage and joined the crowd while seamlessly delivering some of the most enticing vocals I've ever heard. The band continued to barrage the crowd with some of the crispiest and tastiest metalcore I've ever heard. Like a well oiled machine, Kingdom of Giants basically told Dallas, "We are the future of metalcore so get ready to lose your mind in the pit." And, I highly doubt I'm the only one who would say that statement is correct.


Getting the crowd ready before our headliner took the stage was Music Scene Media alum: Caskets. From covering their recent single release, "Reflections", to talking with Matt Flood about the band, the photographers and staff of Music Scene Media are quite the fans of Caskets. And, how could you not be? From their inception and being known as Captives to their name change to their spot as direct support on this tour, the band is here to make a name for themselves. With a classic metalcore sound, the crowd was losing every bit of sanity as the band graced the stage. The amount of fans that were just as excited for Caskets as they were the headliner was astounding. I talked with one fan who drove all the way from Oklahoma to Dallas (roughly a 3 hour and 30 minute drive) just to watch the band play. Although their sound and stage presence was nothing short of "master" level, I honestly think my favorite part about the band was how humble they were. Not many bands will take about 5 minutes from their set (that doesn't seem like a lot of time but that's basically cutting one song from their setlist) to thank the headliner, opening band, their crew, and the venue staff. For that fact alone, I hope that Caskets are able to reach every level of success they have coming their way. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me anyway. Caskets absolutely smacks and Dallas agrees.


It finally came time for the almighty blessthefall to hit the stage. The first time I heard the band was, oh my god, back in 2010 or 2011. My friend had borrowed my iPod and put blessthefall's 2009 album Witness on it and I was instantly hooked. I was even more sold on the band when I watched the cinematic masterpiece of "Hey Baby, Here's That Song You Wanted". Oh my lord. That music video was the craziest thing I ever saw. It was the first album featuring current vocalist Beau Bokan and every single one of my friends in school wanted to sound like him while singing. 2011's Awakening featured such hits like "Promised Ones", "Bottomfeeder", "40 Days...", & everyone's favorite member: Elliott Gruenberg and continued to solidify the band's place in metalcore history. Elliott's & Beau's positions in the band, accompanied by guitarist Eric Lambert, bassist and vocalist Jared Wrath, and drummer Matt Traynor, allowed the band to become the legends they are now, especially with the release of Hollow Bodies in 2013.
