A rising Alternative/Gothic Metal band from New York is back with a striking new EP, pushing their “urban doom” sound further while also telling the tale of an atomized man’s yearned escape from the metropolis.

A rising Alternative/Gothic Metal band with Industrial Metal elements formed in 2019 in Brooklyn, New York City, in the United States, Fellahin Fall have just unleashed a four-track EP titled Urbana, following up on their critically praised 2020 debut album Tar a-Kan. Mixed and mastered by Kevin Antreassian at Backroom Studios, Urbana sees the band formed of Nodar on vocals and keyboards, Pat Reilly and Raphael Pinsker on the guitars, Mark Morrill on bass, and Eugene Bell on drums pushing their “urban doom” sound further while also telling the tale of an atomized man’s yearned escape from the metropolis, being recommended for fans of Type O Negative, Woods of Ypres, Paradise Lost, and Fires in the Distance, among others.

The opening track Bury Me sounds very melodic, atmospheric and introspective, with the bass by Mark reverberating in the background while Nodar darkly declaims the song’s lyrics in the name of Gothic Metal, flowing into the also alternative and groovy The Parting, where the keys by Nodar and the minimalist, piercing guitars by Pat and Raphael will take you on a mesmerizing musical journey, sounding and feeling ready to be played on any rock radio station worldwide. Grey Morning brings to our ears another blast of their gentle but obscure fusion of Alternative Rock and Metal with Gothic and Doom Metal nuances, where once again Nodar steals the spotlight with his deep vocals and whimsical keys while Eugene dictates the song’s pace with his sluggish, classy beats. And last but not least, the band continues their walk through the darkest paths of alternative music in their cover version for Everything I Touch Touch Turns to Gold (Then to Coal), by Woods of Ypres (see the original one HERE, from their 2009 album IV: The Green Album), presenting their trademark somber vocals, pensive and enfolding atmosphere, and delicate riffs and beats, ending the EP on an ethereal vibe.

The stylish and atmospheric Urbana, which is available for a full listen on Spotify, definitely showcases a band that is taking their music to a whole new level, and you can let the guys from Fellahin Fall how much you enjoy their music by following them on Facebook and on Instagram, by subscribing to their YouTube channel, and by purchasing a copy of Urbana from their BandCamp page (or click HERE for all things Fellahin Fall). Will our anti-hero escape from the metropolis, or will he be forever trapped in that urban nightmare? Well, simply listen to the entertaining Urbana, and Fellahin Fall will promptly answer that question to you.
