FALLUJAH Streams First New Single With Their New Lineup, Announces Xenotaph

Fallujah – now founding guitarist Scott Carstairs alongside vocalist Kyle Schaefer, guitarist Sam Mooradian, bassist Evan Brewer (ex-Entheos, ex-Lillake, ex-The Faceless), and drummer Kevin Alexander (Disembodied Tyrant, Vvon Dogma I) – is back with a very technical, but equally catchy single “Kaleidoscopic Waves”. Between this and Fallujah‘s 2022 record Empyrean, I think it’s safe to say that Fallujah is back on track and delivering some top-notch metal.

“We knew ‘Kaleidoscopic Waves’ would be the perfect track to usher in this new era of Fallujah,” said Schaefer. “It unmistakably showcases the soaring atmospheres and remarkable technicality the band is already known for, but with a new level of melodic depth and an invigorating desire to push beyond the boundaries of our previous work. It’s hard to fully encapsulate the vast scope of our new album with a single song, but ‘Kaleidoscopic Waves’ is a great place to start.”

“Kaleidoscopic Waves” from Fallujah‘s upcoming album Xenotaph due out June 13. The album features a stunning cover by Peter Mohrbacher, and is available for pre-order right here.

“We are excited to finally reveal Fallujah‘s new album Xenotaph, marking the sixth chapter in our discography,” said Schaefer. “This is our most ambitious record yet, and is certainly the band’s most technical, dynamic and progressive material to date. The music carried out by these eight tracks is matched with an equally ambitious concept, a lyrical story that traverses unfolding layers of time and reality in an otherworldly, post-death realm of existence.

“Xenotaph is also our most collaborative album, with broad input from the current lineup leading us to expand the scope of our songwriting while simultaneously highlighting the true potential of everyone involved. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming this bold new stage of the band’s evolution.”
