Coming home

Beschrijving

Comes as a strictly limited, colored Vinyl (white/black galaxy). The fine line between genius and madness, self-irony and self-contempt, implosion and explosion: that is the Phantom Zone in which Falling In Reverse thrives. Falling In Reverse founder, frontman, and Machiavellian, heroic superhero/villain Ronnie Radke is the walking, talking, breathing, spitting, screaming, singing, fighting, loving, carefree, sensitive, and vulnerable embodiment of a generation's id. He is the ego and the super-ego in the classic Freudian sense, 'slipping' with malicious bite and playful innuendo everywhere. With his music, art, and life, he is the living embodiment of a shattered home, the frustrated contradiction of self-destruction, and the everyday, steadfast resistance against a mad world. Coming Home is his latest reinvention, closing the circle and reviving himself as a mad scientist and conductor of soaring, transcendent, captivating alternative pop-rock with massive radio hooks and a still-throbbing Heavy Metal hardcore heart. 'Broken,' 'Loser,' 'Hanging On,' 'I Don't Mind,' and 'Coming Home' are shocking in their epic scope, their vibrant authenticity, and their unwavering dedication to personal truth. With the band he formed with his childhood best friend in Las Vegas, he kicked the world of the Warped Tour into the old decadence of the hard rock scene. Then, as countless bands followed in his wake, he was stylistically advancing and dominating the conversation on social media and the audience's sing-along with Falling In Reverse's debut album, The Drug in Me is You, now based in Southern California. As Revolver, Kerrang!, Alternative Press, and the rest of the rock and metal press crowned him the new king of the scene due to playful self-examinations that became anthems like 'Raised by Wolves,' 'Tragic Magic,' and 'I'm Not a Vampire,' Radke and his crew once again shook up conventions and released the ironically titled 'Fashionably Late,' years before the audience even suspected what was coming. What began as the 'worst music video of all time' (according to VICE magazine) brought the band another 20 million views on YouTube with 'Alone' (approaching 100 million views overall for the band). Like many parts of the eclectic album, it is a rap-metal hybrid with a groundbreaking step towards modern electro beats. Like the best of Radke's work, the song serves as both a hyper-masculine anthem and a confession of fear. The press and fans tracked every step of the band and documented every twist. Just Like You treads similar territory with even greater precision, from the title track to undeniable metalcore bangers like 'Chemical Prisoner' and 'Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter)' to the catchy earworm 'Sexy Drug' and the heart-wrenching ballad 'Brother.' Coming Home is the most thematically and artistically focused Falling In Reverse album. The album was once again written with Michael 'Elvis' Baskette (Alter Bridge, Slash, Trivium), who has worked on all of Radke's records, dating back to the now-classic debut album by Escape The Fate, and showcases the group at their most atmospheric. It is the latest bold step from a frontman who has defined himself through a mix of bravery and vulnerability, swagger and introspection. He has streamlined his inner circle and withdrawn from the escapades of the past while putting even more of himself into his art. Coming Home is the album that Radke dreamed of as a child, as he taught himself to play guitar with Blink-182 and Green Day songs, rapped to Dr. Dre and Eminem, skipped school, attended concerts, and did whatever it took to redefine his life beyond the difficult circumstances of his upbringing, even if the obstacles were self-created. Now is the time to bring Coming Home as close as possible to as many people as possible. Falling In Reverse continues to advocate for the outsiders, the outcasts, and the underestimated, making music to strengthen and inspire the underdogs of life. Meer lezen
