FALLUJAH: Part Ways With Vocalist

Progressive death metal masters FALLUJAH, have released the following statement:

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the departure of our vocalist and friend, Alex Hofmann. A decade-long journey has just ended for one of our founding members, and now he begins a new path separate from our own. His dedication and creativity have been a vital part of FALLUJAH for the last ten years, but we respect his decision and support him wholeheartedly.

The Dreamless touring cycle has been our longest and most challenging yet; taking us across the planet with bands we respect and admire while molding this band into a brotherhood. These experiences have brought us together and proven that this is what we are meant for. Alex’s departure will bring a new period of growth and we intend to come out of it with something groundbreaking for our fans.


We will have a special guest taking over vocals for our festival run in Europe as well as our North American tour with DECAPITATED and THY ART IS MURDER. When we return to California, we will continue writing our new album and begin our search for a new vocalist. We invite all of our local friends and fans to join us in sending Alex off at Bay Area Death Fest; his last show, but a new beginning for us in FALLUJAH.”

Hofmann adds:
“The reasons for my departure are both complicated and difficult to summarize; but one thing I know now is that in order to begin a new chapter in life, you must inevitably close the previous one.

FALLUJAH is currently on a nonstop skyward trajectory and my departure will not compromise this in the slightest. I love my band mates to death and I will still be involved in a certain respect after my replacement is solidified. I have to also take the time to thank our manager and mentor EJ Johantgen, our A&R Monte Conner and everyone else at Nuclear Blast, our agents JJ Cassiere and Marco Walzel, Karim at Indiemerch and Florian at Impericon, as well as all the others who’ve ever worked with me behind the scenes keeping this band going.

Thank you to our fans for 10 years of wild nights, stage dives, bloody noses, circle pits and hangovers. To my friends in the touring world, I’m not going anywhere, you will all see me around still. My last show with the band will be Bay Area Death Fest in San Francisco, and I cannot think of a better way to go out!”

Bay Area Death Fest will take place at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, CA on July 20th.

FALLUJAH will continue with their juggernaut-like-momentum this year, with several European festivals (Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze, Ieperfest, etc.), a spot on Ozzfest Meets Knotfest (US), and an upcoming North American tour with THY ART IS MURDER, DECAPITATED and GHOST BATH.

Australia’s rising stars, THY ART IS MURDER, will be bringing their brand of brutal death metal to Europe with full force. Having just released their latest controversial album “Holy War” on Nuclear Blast and having toured recently in Europe with PARKWAY DRIVE, you can rest assured THY ART IS MURDER will tear Europe into shreds.

“We are so fucking stoked to be doing the »Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2016« and to have the honor of co headlining it with our friends in WHITECHAPEL,” says drummer Lee Stanton. “Over the years almost all of our favorite heavy bands, from PARKWAY DRIVE to EMMURE to DESPISED ICON have done the never say die tour across Europe and the UK and it is finally time for us. The 2016 »Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2016« line-up is the most devastating tour package we have ever been a part of, and I can’t wait to get over at the end of this year and blast it out!”

Never Say Die! veterans CARNIFEX are back for the 3rd time! The San Diego metal quintet will be laying waste to stages, supporting their brand new album, “Slow Death”, out in August on Nuclear Blast. CARNIFEX have always stood out within the ranks of the heavy music scene. Their ability to temper darkened metal with a cinematic swell of orchestral flourishes made their previous album a fan and tastemaker favourite.

“Being apart of the »Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2016« has always been a highlight for us. From our first time in 2007 to our return in 2013, the energy and excitement grows every year,” says vocalist Scott Lewis. “2016 is no exception and maybe the heaviest line-up the »Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2016« has ever had, do not miss this amazing tour!”

From FALLUJAH’s formation in 2007, the San Franciscans have melded brutality and brains into a sonic force with an unquestionable presence. The metal world has actually been waiting for a band like FALLUJAH. Their great mix of “aggressive and emotional” will be taking the band to new levels and will earn them even more dedicated followers.

“FALLUJAH are excited to be returning to Europe with some amazing bands and playing some of our favourite cities. We’re preparing a special set for this tour and plan on crushing Europe on the »Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2016«,” says Alex Hoffmann from FALLUJAH.

As a result, FALLUJAH has paved the way for a new melodic and atmospheric perspective on death metal!

»The Flesh Prevails« was mixed, mastered and engineered by Zach Ohren at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA over the course of a few months. It features guest appearances from Christian Muenzner (SPAWN OF POSSESSION, ex-OBSCURA, ex-NECROPHAGIST) and the voice of Roniit Alkayam. The cover artwork was a collaborative effort between Poland’s Tomasz Alen Kopera and the band’s vocalist, Alex Hofmann.

Comments vocalist Alex Hofman:
“We took a considerable amount of time off this year aiming to make not just a new record, but one that sets a new bar for not just ourselves but the genre as a whole. As we begin to enter the studio, we all agree that we’ve achieved exactly what we set out to achieve. We also have two of the best minds in the game right now (Zach Ohren and Mark Lewis), working together to make this record the best sounding FALLUJAH release to date. There is a lot of stuff heating up right now, including new tours for 2016, and we couldn’t be more excited! Stay posted.”

A release for the album is tentatively scheduled for some time in the first half of 2016, via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Until then, catch the band on their European tour this December with CARNIFEX, WITHIN THE RUINS, and BORIS THE BLADE.
