Tech-metal outfit Fallujah expand horizons and solidify their position as one of America's most exciting artists on their 2025 album, 'Xenotaph', through Nuclear Blast. The Bay Area-based quintet's confidence in the lineup that made their previous album, 'Empyrean' (2022), such a resounding success - earning high marks from Metal Injection, New Noise, and Guitar World - has been reconfigured slightly, with guitarist Sam Mooradian and drummer Kevin Alexander bringing their jaw-dropping musical proficiency to the fold, as vocalist Kyle Schaefer, guitarist Scott Carstairs, and bassist Evan Brewer enter a new chapter with Fallujah.
