“Footprints perfectly blends everything I love about making records — a little bit of heavy, big pop-leaning melodies, and radio-ready hooks, all wrapped in a big, modern rock production,” Krompass explained. “Toby Rand and I poured ourselves into this one and our collective personalities brought it to life.”
“Footprints is that song where all the pieces fall into place — the energy of modern rock, the lift of a pop melody, and those undeniable radio hooks. One of my favs on the record. Toby Rand and I wanted to capture the sweet spot between modern rock intensity and hook-driven pop. It’s got riffs, melody, and a production that punches – it’s just us.”
Sheehan also explained why the song remains so special to him. “‘Footprints’ is one of the very first songs I heard from Mike and Toby and I was instantly hooked! I love this track! And it led to the formation of The Fell!”
Rand also offered his support of the track. “‘Footprints’ is about realizing that sometimes we wander down the wrong path and find ourselves searching for redemption. By retracing our footprints, we can see where we took the wrong turns – and where we found success. It’s a reminder to keep navigating and to keep finding our way in an ever-changing, chaotic world. ‘Footprints’ was also the first completed song we created as a band, and became the barometer for the style of music we were writing. Excited to share this remix with the world.”

Originally filmed in Warsaw, Poland, the “Footprints” music video began its journey several years ago, when Mike, Toby, and Billy were on the road promoting the single. Under the vision of Polish director Łukasz, the band descended into a World War II underground bunker to capture the songs raw, grunge energy. Scheduling challenges kept the original cut from being released — until now. Reimagined with newly captured footage, this music video finally comes to life as part of the Footprints remix. A long time in the making, “Footprints” is a reminder that The FELL’s music truly stands the test of time.
Fusing soaring vocals, elite musicianship, and massive rock production, THE FELL’s sound is both cinematic and immediate, anchored in timeless rock energy but elevated by contemporary edge and sonic depth. Drawing immediate comparisons to the guitar-driven, hard rock crunch of Mammoth, the alt-rock edge of Alter Bridge and melodic drive of Velvet Revolver, THE FELL carves out their own niche delivering hard-hitting, emotionally charged anthems that connect with fans across generations.
THE FELL draws its name from Old English, where fell meant a rugged highland or mountain. Rooted in Celtic heritage, it speaks to our shared backgrounds. It’s a symbol of enduring strength, untamed spirit, and the peaks we climb together in music and in life.
THE FELL’s powerhouse lineup features legendary bassist Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, Sons of Apollo), multi-platinum producer, songwriter, and guitar player Mike (K.) Krompass (Smash Mouth, Nelly Furtado, Everybody Loves an Outlaw, Dead Romantic), and vocal powerhouse Toby Rand (Rockstar: Supernova, Juke Kartel, Ashen Moon), whose dynamic voice soars over a backdrop of “Killswitch”‘s grinding riffs and thunderous grooves.
And with the arrival of the “Footprints” single, be prepared to fall under the Fell’s spell!
