Fallaster is a Post-Hardcore band founded in 2006. The name Fallaster has no real meaning. Some might find in it a connection to an anglophone neologism meaning the fall of an aster, others may be reminded of a flower that only grows in November, the roots of which are so strong that they’re eternal.
Their first album, Everything is alright, came out the same year. The band successfully managed the release themselves, selling almost 1500 copies and receiving acclaim from media and public alike. Certain tracks were used in the soundtrack for the French tv series, Déja Vu, shown on the national channel FRANCE 2.
Within a short space of time, the band found themselves touring live and playing support to renowned rock bands such as : Silverstein (CAN), Bullet for my Valentine (UK), We are the Ocean (UK), Pony pony Run Run (FR), Superbus (FR), The Ataris (USA) and more.
In 2008, Fallaster return to the studios to record the Mystar EP, resulting in a collection of darker titles than in the previous album.
The band continued touring until mid-2010, when they began writing a new album. Its conception was long and finely-tuned to produce songs that lived up to the bands ambitions. 2011 brings the recruitment of two new guitarists Antoine & Xavier following the departure of Nicolas. Their arrival announces a revitalizing and fresh outlook on the new album’s writing.
Summer 2012 finds Fallaster in Montréal, Canada in order to work with the producer Luc Tellier and record their forthcoming album Disclosing. The recorded tunes sealed the directional changes made by the group in recent years, pushing the ambient and sometimes atmospheric aspect of their music even further. The group experimented and elaborated the construction of its titles while keeping the necessary flow and ease of listening of their music.
In September 2012, Fallaster came back with a strong album, dark and powerful, the fruit of a long and a huge desire to develop a deep and compelling work. Disclosing will release on February 18th, 2013.
