The Band formed in 2004/5 when Max Green and Ronnie Radke invited Bryan Money to the band using the music networking site MySpace, who subsequently invited guitarist Omar Espinosa, followed slightly later by drummer Robert Ortiz. Later on in 2005 Escape The Fate won a radio competition judged by the infamous My Chemical Romance, which projected them into supporting them on a headline tour with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect. The competition also made the record label Epitaph records aware of the band and along with a successful demo, Escape The Fate were signed by Epitaph and released their debut EP “There’s No Sympathy For The Dead” in May 2006. The band put on a live performance soon afterwards and quickly acquired a loyal following with regular local radio airplay.
Escape The Fate’s line-up has been an ever-changing feature of the band, Carson Allen the keyboardist departed early, Omar Espinosa parted ways soon after that and lead singer Ronnie Radke was reluctantly dropped from the band after an altercation in a desert in Nevada, U.S. that resulted in the death of an 18 year old, which led to him being sentenced to two years in prison on battery charges. But out with the old, in with the new and new lead singer Craig Mabbitt was able to maintain the same energetic and visceral live shows and immediately recorded the sophomore album “The War Is Ours,” which debuted at number 35 on the Billboard 200, selling 13,000 in the first week. "The War Is Ours" tour saw the band travel and play alongside Attack Attack!, Burn Halo and William Control.
The third album for Escape The Fate which was self-titled, represented a shift for the band, moving to the major label Interscope and having the album produced by Don Gilmore, famous for his work with Linkin Park and Bullet For My Valentine. The band’s most recent full-length “Ungrateful” released in 2013 revisited some of the sounds heard on “The War Is Ours” and was produced by the same producer, to promote the album Escape The Fate headlined a free show in Hollywood, California, U.S.
Since their 2006 debut album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, Escape the Fate has been aggressively touring and tearing up stages with deafeningly hardcore performances.
Lead vocalist, Craig Mabbit, sends screeching lyrics driven into the audience like a rusty, but solid steel spike being driven into the heaviest of stones. Lead guitarist, Kevin "Thrasher" Gruft, delivers piercing leads and sinister riffs with each brutal strike of the strings on his guitar. Bass and rhythm guitar drive each heart-pounding riff like twisted clockwork. Drummer, Robert Ortiz, brings the timing together with his malicious and apocalyptic percussion work.
Breathing new life into the post hardcore and metalcore genres, Drawing inspiration from a wide array of musical influences, Escape the Fate functions live like a well-oiled killing machine ready to melt the listener's face off with blisteringly executed songs such as "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché", "The Flood", "This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II)" and "You're Insane".
As any audience that has had the pleasure to bear witness to an Escape the Fate live show can testify, their performances will pump an insane level of excruciating metal energy through the listeners that pulls everyone in and unites them with a mystical adventure of hardcore delight.
