From Fall to Spring is a German metalcore band formed in Neunkirchen, Saarland, in 2008 under the name Basement Project.

Contents

The group released their debut album Rise under Arising Empire in 2023, which managed to chart on the official German Albums Chart. From Fall to Spring applied for the national finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 but did not qualify.

History

The band was started in Neunkirchen, Saarland, in 2008 by brothers Philip and Lukas Wilhelm and Benedikt Veith while they were still in school. The initial lineup was completed by Matthias Hansen and Marius Meinecke. The band began their musical activities with the release of two songs and a few concerts, including their appearance at the 2012 Halberg Open Air. [1] [2]

In 2016, keyboardist Marius Meinecke left the group, which began working professionally a year later. After a second lineup change, From Fall to Spring consists of Philip and Lukas Wilhelm, who are both vocalists and guitarists, third guitarist Sebastian Monzel, keyboardist Simon Triem, bassist León Arend, and drummer Benedikt Veith. In 2017, the band released their debut EP A Better Tomorrow, which was produced and released independently. [1] A second EP, Disconnected, was released two years later. The band was scheduled to tour Germany as a supporting act for Fight the Fade in May 2020, [3] but the tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the German government.

In September 2021, the group signed a contract with the German label Arising Empire and released several singles thereafter. [4] [5] In the summer of 2022, the band performed at several music festivals in Germany, including Pell Mell Festival and With Full Force. [6] [7] The musicians announced via the social media platform TikTok that they had applied for the national finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool with their song "Draw the Line." [8] The band received the second most votes on TikTok, behind German schlager musician Ikke Hüftgold, who later was the runner-up in the national finals, tied with singer-songwriter Will Church. [9] [10] The group announced that they would apply for the national finals of the Eurovision Song Contest the following year but were declined after their official application. [11] [12] From Fall to Spring released their debut album, Rise, on 14 April 2023. [13] The album ranked at number 73 on the German Album Charts. [14]

Musical style

From Fall to Spring plays a melodic variation of metalcore and has been compared to modern metal acts such as Bring Me the Horizon, Architects, Falling in Reverse, and Breaking Benjamin. [15]

Germany has officially participated in every Eurovision Song Contest since its inaugural edition in 1956, except in 1996 when its entry did not qualify past the audio-only pre-selection round, and consequently was not seen in the broadcast final and does not count as one of Germany's 67 appearances. No other country has been represented as many times. Along with France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, Germany is one of the "Big Five" countries that are automatically prequalified for the final, due to their participant broadcasters being the largest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
