From a Second Story Window have returned with their first new material in over 15 years! This two song, Recompose 7” vinyl marks the band’s first release since their 2008 opus, ‘Conversations’. These tracks feature the full ‘08 line-up including Paul Misko (guitar), Nick Huffman (drums), Joe Sudrovic (bass), Rob Hileman (guitar) and a very special exit performance of longtime frontman, Will Jackson (vocals).
FASSW are pioneers of the modern metal core scene. Originally formed in western PA in 1999, FASSW incorporate dark, melodic tones with brutal elements of metal and grind. FASSW were musical peers to bands like Norma Jean & BTBAM, and have been cited as influences on artists like The Devil Wears Prada. The band recently played the farewell Furnace Fest in Birmingham, AL, which was significant as they were a returning artist to the fest from 2003. FASSW also performed at a series of sold out shows in PA, MI, NY & MA alongside artists like Deadguy, The Red Chord, On Broken Wings, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Flesh & Blood Robot & Nights Like These.
Opening track, ‘So Say We All’, explodes with FASSW’s signature dissonance layered by Jackson’s harsh growls. The song then soars into a clean melody taking the listener on a dark journey. B-side closer, ‘Earthen Eyes’ features a raging entrance, galloping riffs with a pile-on, singalong at the end. Masterfully recorded by longtime producer, Jocko at Moresound Studio in Syracuse, NY.
FASSW originally signed with Black Market Activities in 2004. The label reissued their, “Not One Word Has Been Omitted” EP/demo. Their debut full-length, “Delenda” landed in 2006, which was supported by extensive international touring. After several years of relentless touring across the US, Canada, and Europe, and some changes to the line-up, FASSW disbanded in 2008 before the release date of their final full length, “Conversations”.
In 2023, the band reformed in support of a one-shot, limited edition, multi-record discography pressing via the label, Wax Vessel which sold out in minutes. This new 7” marks a reunion with BMA and an exciting new chapter in the FASSW legacy.
