Fall Of The Albatross: Metal meets Jazz, meets Funk with a Mix of Chaos!

Fall Of The Albatross is a band that possesses musical qualities that are rare to find within Heavy Music. Through a mix of Heavy Metal, Jazz, and even Funk music, FOTA offers a sonic experience that is original, well though out and extremely spasmic. Add to this the amazing vocal range that vocalist Ray Hodge delivers, and you got yourself ear heaven mixed with hell.

This band offers the listener chunks of meaty riffs, shredded notes, baked in a warm blanket of soulful emotions, garnished with odd time signatures, and covered in a drip of their finest Jazz sauce. Served on a crackling funk skillet to audiences who desire the utmost diversity in their musical palette. It's all of our favorite flavors carefully combined after years of music listening experience.

After their recent performance at the Highline Ballroom for the No Mercy Metal Showcase, in which they go to open the Kittie CD Release show for "I've Failed You", FOTA are ready for bigger and better shows. FOTA recently released an EP entitled "Entanglement", which we recommend you listen to because it will inspire your mind (see below).
