Mabbitt left the band in 2007 and would replace Ronnie Radke in Escape the Fate. In 2008, the band announced Beau Bokan as their permanent new vocalist. Their second studio album, Witness, and first with Bokan, was released on October 6, 2009.

Following Traynor's departure, Warth became the band's only remaining original member. In May 2023, the band returned from a brief hiatus with the release of "Wake the Dead", their first song in five years. [2]

History

Formation, line-up changes and His Last Walk (2004–2007)

Blessthefall grew out of the high school practice sessions of rhythm guitarist Mike Frisby, lead guitarist Miles Bergsma, drummer Matt Traynor, bassist and vocalist Jared Warth, keyboardist and vocalist Andrew Barr and later, vocalist Craig Mabbitt. Mabbitt's arrival resulted in Barr moving to strictly keyboards. Barr then departed in early 2005, with Warth picking up the keyboards when necessary. After founding member Miles Bergsma left to attend college at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, they released a three-track EP and newcomer Eric Lambert (Bergmas's replacement) became the lead guitarist to form their first stable line-up. [3] Phoenix-area gigs with Greeley Estates and an openly religious orientation got the band local press and a deal with Warner subsidiary, Science Records. [4] The band then toured with Alesana and Norma Jean across the United States and Canada. [5] Their debut album, His Last Walk , was released on April 10, 2007, to mixed reviews. [6] [7] [8] It peaked at No. 32 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseekers chart. [9] The album sold over 65,000 copies, and its singles sold over 100,000 copies. [10]

Blessthefall toured with Escape the Fate, LoveHateHero, Before Their Eyes, and Dance Gavin Dance on the Black on Black tour during September and October 2007. [11] They were also part of the Underground Operations Tour and Loathing Tour 2007, opening for Protest the Hero and All That Remains, along with fellow opening bands, Threat Signal and the Holly Springs Disaster. [12] They were a part of From First to Last's fall headlining tour, starting November 1 with A Skylit Drive and Vanna. [13] The band also completed the entire 2007 Warped Tour circuit nationwide. [5]

While on their first European tour (with Silverstein) in late 2007, Craig Mabbitt left the band during the United Kingdom portion to spend more time with his family. [14] For the remainder of the tour, Jared Warth filled in for vocals while playing keyboards. Mabbitt joined Escape the Fate, and recorded the album This War Is Ours with them. [15] When asked to rejoin Blessthefall, he declined. [16] The last song the band recorded featuring Mabbitt "I Wouldn't Quit If Everyone Quit", was released on the reissue of the His Last Walk album. On September 26, 2008, the band announced that they had made Beau Bokan the new lead singer and keyboardist. Bokan joined the band after leaving Take the Crown. [17] [18]

Witness (2009–2010)

In May 2009, after their tour with Silverstein, Norma Jean, and Before Their Eyes, [19] the band headed into the studio to record their second album, Witness . On May 13 the band signed to Fearless Records and worked on the album with producer Elvis Baskette. [10] [20]

On June 3, the band announced via MySpace that they were officially finished with the recording of their new album and that it was to be released in the autumn. They also had a mid-year tour with August Burns Red and Enter Shikari. [21] In July, Blessthefall released a song clip on their MySpace page titled "God Wears Gucci", released on iTunes for download on August 11, 2009.

[28] Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who produced their previous album, also produced this effort. [29] [30] The band had hoped to feature guest vocalists including Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reverse (previously of Escape the Fate) and Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying, [31] but it was later confirmed that there would be no guest vocals.

[34] They released the official video of "Promised Ones" on November 11, 2011, [35] which starts with the intro song of the album titled Awakening. According to a video interview with Lambert and Bokan, Blessthefall planned on entering the studio in February to record an EP with Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying. [36] Later Matt Traynor confirmed that this was not true. [37] Due to time restraints they had to put off the recording of the EP until after Warped Tour.[ citation needed ] Plans for this EP have since been scrapped according to guitarist Eric Lambert in an interview with Bryan Stars.[ citation needed ]
