We are happy to announce the release of Red Tree! The debut from Fall Of Echoes. Here is what Virtuosity had to say about the album!

"Listening to the exceptional new band Fall of Echoes made me reminisce back to the first time I ever heard King?s X: the crunchy guitars, dynamite vocal harmonies, prog sensibilities and memorable hooks that captured every thing I love about music, and how Gretchen Goes to Nebraska became the soundtrack of my summer. Fall of Echoes delivers the same feeling, music to be cranked up loud and shared with your friends, sung along to as you are driving to the store, lyrics to be pondered and weighed.



"Shane Lankford, the voice of the heavy symphonic rock band Orphan Project, hooked up with Rob Perez of the fusion band Visual Cliff and together they formed an exceptional new heavy progressive rock band called Fall of Echoes. Lankford?s rich, heavy Peter Gabriel-meets-Steve Walsh pipes would sound good singing Brittany Spears songs, but teaming him up with Perez and Rick Mals of Visual Cliff, as well as Orphan Project bassist Bill Yost, was a brilliant maneuver. Comparisons to Orphan Project abound, but Fall of Echoes is heavier in some places, jazzier in others, less orchestrated yet more progressive. If you liked Orphan Project as much as I did, you will definitely enjoy Fall of Echoes as much or more. If you like solid, hook laden modern rock with progressive leanings and excellent musicianship, you really can?t go wrong with Fall of Echoes. I predict that these guys will find themselves on a major label very soon, and that this band will eventually overshadow the other bands they have been apart of.

"While all the tracks on Red Tree are good, two of the twelve on this 58 minute disc really stand out (and stick in your head). The title track, "Red Tree," and "Mr. Orion" are especially strong, and I've chosen those two to push on my radio show. Spiritually, the songs are steeped in Christian imagery without being preachy. You can listen to some samples and read more about the band and how to order their music at http://www.fallofechoes.com. You?ll thank me later. [dt]"
