Fallingice

First achievements

In 2001 Fallingice won the well-known Italian musical contest Coop for music with the song "Another day", printed in 15.000 copies and sold together with the magazine Rockstar and in big stores all over Italy. Shortly afterwards they played at M.E.I. in Faenza, one of the most important events dedicated to the new Italian music scene. In the following years Fallingice performed shows throughout Italy and topped the Rock charts of Vitaminic.com in America, Germany, England, France and other European countries.

Lymph EP and new formation

In early 2006 they entered the studio to record their first EP Lymph, co-produced by Red House Recordings (Steve Albini, Michael Davis, Josh Klinghoffer, Rob Ellis, Charlotte Hatherley, Linea 77). After the recording, while they were looking for a record label to publish their work, long time bassist Gabriele Barone had a serious health problem and therefore was forced to leave the band. A few months later followed the departure of then-drummer Calabria. In 2007 singer-songwriter Vice, after many auditions, recruited Bem on bass and Fab on drums, who had been playing with other bands of the Italian underground scene. The band that had already changed its line-up various times during the years, took its current shape.

Record deal and debut album Meatsuit

The new enthusiasm, shared intentions and common musical influences gave new life to Fallingice that signed a record deal with Ukdivision Records, an indie label based in the UK, for the release of their debut album Meatsuit in July 2010 with a worldwide distribution.

The album was produced by Alessandro Paolucci (Raw Power) and Fallingice at West Link Recordings in Pisa, Italy, mixed by David Lenci (Uzeda, Charlotte Hatherley, One Dimensional Man) at Red House Recordings and mastered at Precision Mastering in Hollywood, California, by Tom Baker (Helmet, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Alter Bridge).

Roadrunner distribution

In November 2010 the band announced that Meatsuit was distributed and promoted in Benelux by the famous Roadrunner Records Belgium thanks to the excellent feedback received from national and foreign press and that they were among the first Italian groups to be distributed by Roadrunner in collaboration with the agency Alkemist Fanatix Europe.

"Breathing Machine" video release

Fallingice first official video "Breathing Machine", shot by Carlo Roberti of Solobuio Visual Factory (Dope Stars Inc., Nachtmahr, L'âme Immortelle), was "Video of the week" on Rock TV Italy and also broadcast on the Australian National TV ABC on the music program Rage and in Usa.
