・ライブパフォーマンスでは、"Bury Me Alive"のほか、Evaの"Going Under"も披露。
・著作権の関係により、バンド名を"We Are the Fallen"に改名。
・バンド名について。Benによれば、 “We had actually been talking about the band name a lot for a long time and it just really seemed like We Are the Fallen…it just seemed like a really good idea to encompass all of our fans that we already had with our previous band and I guess make it more of an inviting thing for all the fans to come in and be a part of something rather than just be a fan of a group.” 「実際にバンド名については長時間いろいろと話し合った、そして、ただなんとなく"We Are The Fallen"になったんだ。前のバンドからのファンの人達を取り込むのもいいアイデアだと思った。新しいファンにもより魅力的だと思った、ただグループのファンになるってだけじゃなく、一部になれるから。」
・BaのMarty O'brienについて。 WE ARE THE FALLEN's lineup is rounded out by bassist Marty O'Brien, whose recording and touring credits include DISTURBED, KELLY CLARKSON, STATIC-X, METHODS OF MAYHEM and TOMMY LEE.
BaのMarty O'brienは、DISTURBED、KELLY CLARKSONら以外に、STATIC-X、METHODS OF MAYHEM(Motley Crueのトミー・リーのバンド)らとも仕事をしたことがある。(えええええ)
Alfadog Music Sends Cease And Desist Notice To Skh Music
On Friday June 19, Alfadog Music issued a cease and desist notice to SKH Music in response to their announcement made on June 18; Carly Smithson is joining the original guys of Evanescence, who are re-launching as a hard-rock band called The Fallen.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 19, 2009 – (PHILADEPHIA, PA) -- On Friday June 19, Alfadog Music issued a cease and desist notice to SKH Music in response to their announcement made on June 18; Carly Smithson is joining the original guys of Evanescence, who are re-launching as a hard-rock band called The Fallen.
“We are truly sorry for the confusion that stemmed yesterday from an unexpected announcement from SKH Music.” – The Fallen. The band will continue to bring their music to the fans and perform as The Fallen.
The Fallen, based out of Philadelphia, PA, started in late 2005 as an experimental project between musicians Gabe Horning and Mark Bolger, added to in late 2007 with the addition of drummer Dwight Sensenig and vocalist Audra McLaughlin, and completed in early 2009 with the addition of bassist Troy Feuerstein.
In August of 2008 they released their debut album, “Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea”. Last night the band released their second album in 2 years, “Between The Angels And The Deep Dark Sky”. Albums are available online. Tour dates for the new album are being planned.
For further information, interviews, promotional requests, contact Alphonse Faggiolo at (610) 717-2091.

これによれば、今回、急遽"WE ARE THE FALLEN"と改名したのは、すでにフィラデルフィア出身の"THE FALLEN"というバンドが存在したからだ、ということです。彼らが所属する(?)Alfadog Musicというところから、記者会見前の6月19日にこのバンド名で継続することを断念するように訴えられたとか。

Here you go Em. You're lucky, I got really bored and had nothing to occupy myself with.
Ben: There’s a disconnect in the past and we all want to be here. We all equally have the right to be here. And none of us would take the stage without all five of us. That’s the difference.
Ben: Team game faces.
Interview: So who are you guys.
Rocky: I’m Rocky.
Marty: Marty
Ben: Ummmm, Ben.
Carly: Carly
John: And John.
All; We are the fallen!
Ben: Dot com.
Others singing: dot commmmmm.
John: We want all the people who bought Evanescence records to like our band. I mean they’ve been apart of our life for what, six years now. They bought the records, they put us where we were at. I mean, everything we did was because of the fans and obviously we want to embrace them and…
Ben: …continue on our journey together.
Ben: Steve Kharas (SKH Music, formerly of Wind-Up records) and I were driving to my studio we were kind of joking about, “wouldn’t it be fun if we got the band back together” and all that. And I remembered a conversation that I had with these two guys (points to Rocky and John) in 2003 involving something very similar to what we’re doing and the more I thought about it the more it seemed like the timing was right, it was a really good idea and I really missed playing music with them and so I called them.
John: Yeah and I was like “Let me call you back, we’ll talk about this when I get off of work”.
All: *laughs*
Ben: That’s actually true.
Carly: You never know what’s going to come around the corner but when it does come you know… I just felt that I’d be singing music finally that I was happy with and I’ would have a family.
Carly: Musically everybody brings something different and businessy everybody takes a different place as well and they have their place and the thing they do and we all combined and agree on everything…
Ben: But I twitter.
Carly: You don’t twitter!
Marty: Yeah his one twitter we’re all hanging out laughing, having a good time, we all read our twitters and it’s him (Ben) and he just says “I need knew friends”.
All: *laughs*
Marty: I forgot what the question was now.
Carly: It was “Do we all listen…”
Ben: Oh we don’t listen to any of the same music but that, what’s great is that we all love… our differences musical tastes and like come together to make something cooler than any of us have ever done individually.
Marty: True
Carly: Yeah that is cool. Everybody different brings a different flavour to the soup.
Ben: It’s like a seven layer burrito but with five layers.
All: *laugh*
Carly: What?
John: We all contributed to Bury Me Alive and I think it’s probably one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever been a part of.
Ben: Agreed.
Marty: I agree.
Rocky: *nods*
John: I think that says a lot.
Ben: (to Marty) You always agree.
Marty: But I really agree this time.
Carly: Do you concur?
Marty: I do concur.
Ben: Even Rocky likes it.
Marty: Rocky concurs.
Ben: Rocky, Rocky had the stiffest, like, suck meter of anyone. Everything, it’s like.
John: Hey.
Ben: You’ve got be really cool to even…
John: You can’t talk about that.
Ben: *laughs*
Ben: No you see, that, that just ruined everything.
