blessthefall Announces HOLLOW BODIES 10-Year Anniversary Tour

Hot off the heels of their music video for “Wake The Dead”, blessthefall has announced that they will also embark on the Hollow Bodies 10-year anniversary   tour later this summer, marking their first live appearances in four years.

Speaking through a press release, vocalist Beau Bokan said:

“To all the fans…we’ve seen you and heard you over the last five years, we’re back and this one’s for you. ‘Wake the Dead’ has all the elements that define our band. We took our time writing it but didn’t overthink. We wanted the first song to melt your faces from the beginning and drag you to the end without slowing down. We hope you love it as much as we do.”

As for the much-anticipated anniversary tour, Bokan added,  “ Hollow Bodies was the album that took our band to the next level and for that we are forever grateful. Being able to do a 10-year anniversary tour and play the record in its entirety is going to be incredibly special. It’s been four years since we played a live show and want to pick up right where we left off. We can’t wait to see your sweaty faces in the crowd!”

Be sure to catch the band as they perform at the Opera House in Toronto on August 14th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (May 26) at 10am local time. VIP packages are already available via the band’s website.

Blessthefall

Our actions ripple over time. It can take months or even years to feel the impact of the choices we make. These days, the aftershocks of blessthefall’s music reverberate louder than ever before. Following a decade-plus highlighted by fan favorite albums and countless sold out shows, the Arizona quartet— Beau Bokan [vocals], Eric Lambert [guitar], Jared Warth [bass], and Elliott Gruenberg [guitar]—have only fortified an unbreakable connection with audiences worldwide.  

Returning from a four-year period of dormancy, they strengthen this bond like never before with a series of singles for Rise Records and their forthcoming seventh full-length LP.

“On social media, I don’t post anything about the band, but I will see fans talking about us,” notes Beau. “It’s been years, and it blows me away that they’re still interested and they’ve been influenced by our music in a positive way. So, our comeback is for them.”

blessthefall’s music has continued to resonate. The group notched back-to-back Top 25 debuts on the Billboard 200 with Hollow Bodies [2013] and To Those Left Behind [2015], while 2018’s Hard Feelings marked their third straight Top 5 bow on the Top Alternative Albums Chart. With the latter, Unclear claimed the band “may have struck serious gold , ” while Alternative Press applauded how “blessthefall blend old-school vibes and a fresh new sound . ” Speaking to their enduring legacy, they’ve racked up hundreds of millions of streams with “Hey Baby, Here’s That Song You Wanted” at 33.8 million Spotify streams followed by “Hollow Bodies” at 26.2 million Spotify streams in addition to landing syncs in franchises such as Splinter Cell .  

In the wake of a successful 10-year anniversary tour to celebrate Witness in 2019, blessthefall went quiet for the next two years. Between the Global Pandemic and various other gigs, the members still kept the lines of communication open.

“We had just burnt out to a degree,” admits Beau. “We took some time off, stepped away, and started chatting. We’d always kept in touch, but it got to a point where we really missed what we had. We were watching the younger generation take an interest in our band and other groups we came up with, which was cool to see. If you’re passionate about anything, you can’t totally give it up—you’ve got to do it in some fashion. There were multiple things at play, and we finally began writing again.”

As the musicians kicked around ideas, the first single “Wake The Dead” materialized. It steamrolls out of the gate with a pummeling riff, battering ram drums, and ominous electronics. Beau’s screams bleed into a bold refrain, “What will you do when your world stops turning? Do you really want to wake the dead?”

“I love how it kicks in and melts your face off from the get-go,” he smiles. “It’s the general mood of our comeback. There’s no fucking around and we’re having a good time. We’ve been sleeping for five years since we put out new music. ‘Wake The Dead’ conveys the message, ‘Hey, we’re back with a vengeance’ . We recaptured the energy of the band, and it reflects how we are on stage—all energy.”

In the end, blessthefall’s energy will never relent as they ignite this chapter.

“We’ve seen life after the band, and we’re coming back to it because we miss it and love it,” he leaves off. “I never took this for granted. The band gave me an opportunity to live my dream. Making music is something special. You can’t get that feeling doing anything else.”
