On this new offering, the band wanted their music to sound as contemporary as possible, but at the same time to remain faithful to their melodic/symphonic roots. The main part of the overall arrangement and recordings took place in Athens, at Soundflakes Recording Studios with John Mcris being a close associate of the band and the sound engineer for the main body of this new work. Part of the recordings took place at the Rock Factory Studios in Siena, Italy by Nikos Zannis and Davide Fatemi as sound engineers. The mixing process took place at Hell’s Kitchen Recording Studio with John Mcris as mixing engineer. For the mastering process, FALLEN ARISE collaborated with Fascination Street Studios and Tony Lindgren as mastering engineer. The album artwork is created by Paul Culley and the layout by Miron Theodoridis. The band’s photo session took place at rEvolver Studios (Sweden) with the mighty Patric Ullaeus behind the camera.
Since 2009 the band has released one E.P. and three albums, Eternal EP (2012), Ethereal, (2013), Adeline, (2015) and now Enigma, (2020) while simultaneously performing a large number of shows in Greece and Europe as headliners or sharing the stages with many famous artists.
The band says:
The main idea around Enigma’s creation was to create an album that would refresh the band’s musical style. We didn’t want something that sounded like Ethereal or even more reluctantly Adeline. Obviously the band is very proud of these two albums, we just didn’t want to repeat ourselves thus our approach from the beginning was very different from the previous ones. We wanted our music to sound as contemporary as possible, but at the same time to remain faithful to the kind of music we play. Pop aesthetics were always something we were trying to make part of our music, keeping in mind that pop music was a huge influence on the band’s compositions. All this combined with the elements that define metal music and the orchestral idea which is still present in the band had provided this end result.
The choice of collaborators for the creation of the Enigma was very thoughtful and targeted in order to achieve the result we sought. The main part of the overall arrangement and recordings took place in Athens, at Soundflakes Studios with John Mcris being a close associate of the band and the sound engineer for the main body of this new work. Part of the recordings took place at the Rock Factory Studios in Siena, Italy by Nikos Zannis and Davide Fatemi as sound engineers. The mixing prοgress took place at Hell’s Kitchen studios with John Mcris as mixing engineer. For the mastering progress we collaborated with Fascination Street studios and Tony Lindgren as mastering engineer. The album artwork is crafted by Paul Culley and the layout by Miron Theodoridis. The band’s photo session took place at rEvolver studios (Sweden) with the mighty Patric Ullaeus behind the camera. The least we can say is that we had an unforgettable time there and it was a unique experience for us working with such an amazing and talented guy.
FALLEN ARISE were formed in 2009, combining a theatrical atmosphere with a progressive approach and a heavy-metal-alike heaviness. So far, FALLEN ARISE have toured across Europe and Russia with established acts including: Nightwish, Fates Warning, Paradise Lost, Destruction, Sepultura, Skindred, Moonspell, Serenity, Leave’s Eyes, Xandria, Katatonia, Pain of Salvation and Insah.
