Dead To Fall breaks up

Chicago/Minneapolis metal band Dead To Fall has broken up. Formed in 1999, the group has released several albums with Victory Records and undergone more line-up changes than we care to count. Singer Jonathan Hunt comments: ""Dead to Fall is no more. After 9 years, it's time to say good-bye. There really isn't an easy way to say this, but the Dead To Fall machine broke beyond repair this last weekend. I guess the financial, personal, and emotional strains wore some of us down and caused a violent collapse. After a show in Wisconsin, Logan and Chad quit this past weekend. I won't go into the whole 'behind the music band break up scenario' but it was a night filled with retarded actions and words. The rest of us don't want to go through yet another major line-up change and really are just ready for a new chapter in our lives. The Super Massive Fist tour with Impending Doom, Arsonists Get All the Girls and Sea of Treachery is continuing on without us. We have no idea if we are going to play a last show or not, but at this point there is nothing planned. It's all so surreal, I have spent a good portion of my life touring in DTF and life without it is going to be...interesting. It's like breaking up with 4 girlfriends you work with the day your place of employment burns down. I'm going to miss it for sure. Keep your eyes open for future projects from all of us, and make sure you go to the super massive fisting tour and check it out. 'end this band with a fucking breakdown'"

Eat_Shit 4/8/2008 11:03:39 AM

kaienshiba 4/8/2008 11:25:24 AM

They won't be missed

xdonkeypunchx 4/8/2008 11:25:40 AM

tony victory can only suck your bands money for so long until you crack.

the_smile_that_kills 4/8/2008 11:27:22 AM

badaxe 4/8/2008 11:34:32 AM

Some of the best news I've heard in awhile.

LEX_LUGER 4/8/2008 11:39:15 AM

fafafooey 4/8/2008 11:42:38 AM

johN_doe 4/8/2008 1:07:31 PM

lol @ this news not even worthy of being front page/bolded.

rob_tcp 4/8/2008 1:42:47 PM

i enjoy two things from this band: the everything i touch falls to pieces album, and the chum fiesta video

bubbajustice 4/8/2008 1:42:55 PM

johN_doe 4/8/2008 1:07:31 PM lol @ this news not even worthy of being front page/bolded. //webby just knows they will change their mind in like 3 hours so why give us all false hope that they will actually stay broken up

bubbajustice 4/8/2008 1:44:48 PM

side note:: i guess this means drewcifer is out of a job.. lol

swampthang 4/8/2008 1:45:31 PM

finally, they got gay and i guess a break up is cool a van flip would've been cooler

ass_shit 4/8/2008 1:46:30 PM

jon smoked me out their trailer once and then gave me wine out of plastic wine glasses. good guy.

YouAreSceneAsFuck 4/8/2008 2:41:26 PM

helvetekrieg 4/8/2008 2:59:08 PM

thank god.

hxc_n00b 4/8/2008 4:39:18 PM

vocalist is one of the nicest and most genuine dudes i have ever met. i shared a much needed clove with him afterwards

forumdrama 4/8/2008 4:39:37 PM

I'm baffled by the lack of "are you serious?" comments on here. C'mon, get your heads out of your asses.

Dead_Rabbit 4/8/2008 4:43:47 PM

Lol @ this shitty band breaking up 3 days before they had a chance to stink up my town with their shitty music... fckin' gays...

Ballsmahoney 4/8/2008 4:45:35 PM

used to love this band.Singer seems like a decent dude. The one guitar player looks like such a gay when i saw them live a few weeks ago. Still are all gays for eating at homeless shelters.

xshekilledmyheartx 4/8/2008 4:53:04 PM

whaaaaaaat the fck, man, i didn't see this coming ...

make_me 4/8/2008 4:54:24 PM

xeatshitx 4/8/2008 7:02:24 PM

'end this band with a fcking breakdown'"-dumbest shit ever

Shiv 4/8/2008 7:08:49 PM

Seriously I'm Seriously About To Get Seriously Serious......wait, wrong band

appreesh 4/8/2008 7:28:07 PM

thats what happens when you get a drug free celtic ankle band tattoo and sell out.

FromHeavensDarkestCorner 4/8/2008 7:35:41 PM

now the world of metal will fall apart...

postrock_is_dead 4/8/2008 8:12:56 PM

... end this band with a fcking breakdown? jesus christ. thank god they broke up.

hussle 4/8/2008 8:22:24 PM

IronBallsMcMighty 4/8/2008 8:53:03 PM

for me this makes the third dose of good news for the day. its a super tuesday. more news like tyhis plz!

fightingmike 4/8/2008 8:55:15 PM

Good! They did what 90% of the metalcore bands should do!

brettnbutler 4/8/2008 9:00:38 PM

last album was pretty quality. new album is rubbish with awesome production. this band has managed to keep it together through a lot of bullshit and dedication from john hunt, but it's definitely time to put it to bed.

let_it_go 4/8/2008 9:07:18 PM

thank fcking god

hishutupplz 4/8/2008 9:20:20 PM

blahblahblah lambgoat is STILL for people with no lives who have nothing better to do than talk shit about bands they secretly listen to. Also, this breakup was bound to happen, better sooner rather than later.

corebore 4/8/2008 9:25:20 PM

damn, even though they've sucked in the past couple of years i still apreesh'd this band.

hishutupplz 4/8/2008 9:31:36 PM

ps: quote: LYRICS quote: LYRICS quote: LYRICS "shit talking, including lyrics;"! Please, get new material for "~*bashing*~" you guys.

blkmtl 4/8/2008 9:49:49 PM

Best birthday ever. They just don't want to admit they are overgrown stoners.

omgheroin 4/8/2008 10:12:53 PM

jon is a solid brother. may the white race be on your side.

bensy 4/8/2008 10:32:00 PM

GOOD. Singer has possibly the worst voice I have ever heard. And I've heard a lot of bands.

Quesadilla 4/8/2008 10:35:02 PM

it was a night filled with retarded actions

cashbasket 4/8/2008 10:52:07 PM

After smoking 15-28 cloves with this band over the years, I can truthfully say their actions were often retarded.

perilsofreasoning 4/8/2008 10:54:37 PM

Dead to fail

sucksforyou22 4/8/2008 11:12:55 PM

this sucks. didn't like the new shit, but I smoke with Jon every time in the area. shit, need a new smoking buddy.

xvegeedgex 4/8/2008 11:17:35 PM

sad to see this happen. Jon is a good dude. it was a good run, it's probable they'll get back together though. ;) ps - r u srs?

GirlScoutCookies 4/8/2008 11:24:15 PM

cloves are for gays oh and this band sucks.

balls_rich 4/8/2008 11:32:21 PM

for real whats with all you clove smokers

brink23 4/8/2008 11:36:27 PM

its a big bummer, they were one of my favorite bands to come out of the twin cities.

bloodbath 4/9/2008 12:04:58 AM

This band has never been good EVER and anyone who thinks differently needs to quit listening to music all together. Oh yeah... YAY!

vdburns 4/9/2008 12:40:15 AM

They stripped me naked had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then had me bend over and spread my asscheeks apart so they could look inside my jerk.

blackpower 4/9/2008 1:31:06 AM

1) You defended Brain Drill...gays, 2) "It's like breaking up with 4 girlfriends you work with the day your place of employment burns down."...definite gays, 3) Contract obligations to Victory met = breakup...gays

Jon is a good dude. The rest of the dudes are super sketchy. But seriously, how many bands last for more than 4 full lengths?

slaytyricon 4/11/2008 12:28:04 AM

i'm looking forward to never hearing from any of these retards again. in about 3 years, no one is going to remember who they were, and they're fcked for the rest of their lives. enjoy your miserable post-shitty mosh existance.

ninjacheckmate 4/12/2008 2:20:40 AM

These jerks sounded like Darkest Hour meets Unearth. They won't be missed but they did have some phat beats.

bigginsholes 4/12/2008 6:25:17 PM

anonymous 8/14/2012 3:21:19 PM

I'm really surprised to read all the negative comments that people left on this page, It's been more than four years and still love this band, one of the most bruital sounding bands i've ever seen live. To all you pleasures taking shit fck you all!

anonymous 11/16/2013 5:29:58 PM

Have to laugh at all the unique little snowflakes here who couldn't think of anything more original than calling things gay. Good job metal scene.
