born in 2004 in the wake of the ambitious dante trilogy on relapse records, dirk serries conceptualised fear falls burning as a follow-up to his vidnaObmana moniker. unleashing a maelstrom of hypnotically pulsating guitar drones, the project would turn develop a tireless live activity and spawn a dizzying array of releases, most of them on vinyl. on 2008’s frenzy of the absolute, today widely considered a classic, the project reached its peak, fusing its by then trademark sound with live drums and guest musicians from the realms of the contemporary underground metal scene. at the same time, frenzy of the absolute marked the end of fear falls burning. over the course of its four years, Serries’s ongoing search for the essence of his sound had resulted in the founding of a new project called microphonics. harking back to his more intimate, minimalist ambient phase, it represented a sum and summary of his past and present embodied his musical personality more fully than any of his previous aliases. clearly, fear falls burning had fulfilled its mission and reached its point of destination. and yet, with the end in sight, serries has resurrected fear falls burning for a concluding album statement entitled disorder of roots, and a last salute.

on june 2, 2012 at the paradox club in tilburg, fear falls burning will return for a gig involving three of the guest musicians on the record - tim bertilsson (drums), frank kimenai (electric bass) and michiel eikenaar (vocals). to anyone who's been part of the journey, the event will present a welcome occasion to bid fear falls burning a well-deserved and final farewell. a visitors will receive a free 7inch with additional exclusive tracks! concert details and reservation infos can be found here.
