Wheelfall

French industrial post-metal band

Genre defying Metal band from Nancy, France formed in 2009. From their second album (Glasrew Point) onwards, the band has incorporated such varied styles as Post-Metal, Avant-garde Metal, Noise Rock and industrial music. The original band lineup consisted of Fabien W. Furter, Quentin Vega, Niko El Moche and Cactus Flo, playing Stoner Metal. They released a first demo E.P in 2010 "From The Blazing Sky At Dusk". After the departure of Quentin Vega, replaced by Niko Elbow, they released their first album "Interzone" in 2012, and a more Doom oriented split album with A Very Old Ghost Behind The Farm. After a 1 year long silence and the inclusion of a 5th full time member (Thibaut Thieblemont), the band returned with a double album, "Glasrew Point", a Progressive Sludge album with Industrial / Experimental touches. The concept of the album, as explained by band leader Fabien W. Furter is of a serial killer who tries to recreate a childhood near death experience through artistically presented murders, and the hunt to track him down. The next album "The Atrocity Reports" in 2017, saw the band further explore Industrial Metal influences and took the concept of the previous album, this time presenting the story from the killer's point of view. In terms of themes and aesthetic, Fabien W. Furter has compared the world of "The Atrocity Reports" with "A Clockwork Orange" and "Glasrew Point" with "2001: A Space Odyssey". In 2020 Fabien W. Furter founded his own label No Good To Anyone Productions (taking its name from the Today Is The Day album) and released the band's fourth album "A Spectre Is Haunting The World".
