Based out of the US and Mexico, melodic death metal band FALSIMONIAN presents their new EP release, For Survival. Centered around a fictional, dystopian world, For Survival considers the everyday impact onto individuals who are living under the threat and fear of a world-ending catastrophe. Accompanying the EP is a new video offering for the title track, "For Survival."

"For Survival being the title track best represents the concept of the album of looking to live life and find joy amidst the chaos of a collapsing society." FALSIMONIAN explains. "It represents the last string of hope that may show up when you feel the end is near. That last attempt to stay alive and to hold on to what's dear to you.

We are super excited for everyone to watch the music video to the title track. It was recorded in a historical location in downtown Conway, SC and directed by Germán López Tirado. Our collaboration strengthens our ability to tell the story of what it means to be human and experiencing a difficult time. Germán’s experience as a documentary filmmaker brought our music to life through stunning visuals and an emotionally charged narrative. We are also extremely grateful to the Conway Architectural Salvage and Heritage Project for allowing us to use their beautiful historical location."

On the EP, For Survival, the band comments:
"For Survival is a daring debut EP for Falsimonian. While it is melodic death at its core, the inclusion of a wide palette of musical influences (progressive, thrash, black, symphonic, technical, jazz fusion, Latin American roots, Mexican Folk, etc.) Provide a unique listening experience that will resonate with die-hard melodeath fans, listeners looking for something unique, as well as audiences that are new to the genre."

For Survival was produced by Jesus Fuentes Valverde, with mixing and mastering by Gil Andrade. Drums engineering was undertaken by Ruben Sanchez at Urvn Studios, with guitars and keyboards recorded by Jesus Fuentes Valverde and vocals recorded by Erick Valverde. Guitar and vocal editing, and bass programming, was by Jesus Fuentes Valverde. Additional guitars on "Limitless", "Judgment" and "For Survival" were recorded and edited by Cesar Robles.

All artwork photography for the EP and single releases are from X-Rays Erick Valverde has taken over the last 10 years. The artworks utilize original photographs of a colorful sunset as the light source behind the X-Rays. These colors are commonly seen in the desert skies of the US/Mexico border. Ariadne Willis adjusted the photographs for the layout and design of the EP and single covers. Erick's accidents and health struggles have also indirectly influenced the overall theme of the EP. Additional photography by Rancho Creativo Studios.
