In We Fall has set a new standard in alternative metal with their debut album, Inner Self, out December 13th. Fusing the weighty riffs of progressive metal with the raw edge of grunge, the album is a powerhouse of sound and meaning.
Produced by Daniel Moreira at EvoluiSom Studios, Inner Self is as polished as it is emotionally charged. The band’s intricate arrangements and expert musicianship shine through every track, with highlights including dynamic tempo shifts, razor-sharp guitar solos, and explosive drumming. Each song builds with intention, reaching peaks of intensity that grip the ears and doesn’t let go.
Tracks like “Silent War” and “What Now” show a mastery of balance between aggression and melody, while “Hope is Gone”, “In We Fall”, and “Empty Hand” offer haunting atmospheres that stick with you.
The album’s concept explores deeply human themes, from the devastation of war to the struggle for self-acceptance in an increasingly impersonal world. The narrative depth adds a layer of relatability without feeling overly familiar. The band’s ability to craft meaningful metaphors, paired with their signature sound, keeps one engaged.
What truly sets Inner Self apart is the unity of its members. Daniel’s impassioned vocals and commanding guitar work meld seamlessly with Luis Almeida’s driving basslines, Frederico Lopes’ inventive drumming, and Carlos Carneiro’s stunning guitar riffs. The synergy is evident and elevates the album from a collection of songs to a cohesive and unforgettable experience.
With Inner Self, In We Fall establishes themselves as a formidable force in alternative metal. The album is not just a debut but a declaration, proving that In We Fall is a band that knows how to deliver both power and precision.
