Gabriels Fallen are a hybrid of early American metal and punk rock from Southern California's South Bay.
ABOUT:
We are a four piece outfit hailing from the greater L.A. area and are well on our way to accomplishing the monumental task of standing out in a town overflowed with so much history and talent.
We have been cutting a path through the local L.A. club scene. Igniting big market venues like House of Blues, Knitting Factory, Key Club, and The Whiskey with unparalleled stage presence, and packing the house with our huge and frenzied fan base. We have already had the privilege of proving themselves a worthy opener for idols Strung Out, Ignite, Circle Jerks and Hell Within, and held it’s own with strange bed fellows Sugar Ray, Lit, Reel Big Fish, Violent Femmes, and Psychedelic Furs, on New Year Eve 2005.
Starting out in mid-2004 longtime friends Steve Huante, Victor Braden, and Dave Gray decided to start a new band that would be "noticeably different" from any other group to come out of the South Bay. In August of the same year, they decided to bring in another guitarist, Chris Saunders, to help fill in with melodies while Steve worked on intensifying his blistering guitar solos.
Sharing our passion for both punk rock and early heavy metal, bored with mainstream and commercial rock, decided to return to the old metal style we loved as kids and fuse it with our take on modern punk rock.
Contrary to popular belief, Gabriels Fallen is not a religious or Christian band, the name does however have religious ties, the name claims that Gabriel, the right hand of God, sick and tired of his life of servitude, all the rules, restrictions, and limitations forced upon him, turned his back on heaven, forever falling to Earth.
