What Is Touring India Like? ALL ELSE FAILS Share Tour Diary Exclusively On Decibel Mag
New Music Video ‘The Sons of Plenty’
New EP ‘The Forever Lie’ Out Feb 17th
Canadians ALL ELSE FAILS are currently on their first international tour of India where they have already performed at the Unmaad Fest and scheduled to play Feb 4th at the Alcheringa Fest. The festival appearances add to a long list of other high level performances over the years, but none have offered the culture, people and new friends AEF have made on this journey.
Teaming up with Decibel Magazine, vocalist/guitarist Barrett Klesko shares pics and words from the first half of their travels. Read it all at the following link: http://decibelmagazine.com/blog/2017/2/2/canadian-band-goes-to-india-takes-lots-of-pictures
ALL ELSE FAILS will be unleashing their new EP ‘The Forever Lie’ on Feb 17th, 2017 to follow their 2013 award winning EP ‘Fucktropolis’. The new EP continues the Edmonton, AB band’s aggressively dark brand of metal that breaks the traditional ideals of their genre. Drawing comparisons to bands like Killswitch Engage, In Flames and Of Mice & Men, the band infuses their music with a variety of elements that includes experimental, classical, synth lines plus spoken word sampling to accent a unique blend of heavy as hell screams and shiver inducing clean vocals.
ALL ELSE FAILS‘ first single / music video ‘The Sons of Plenty’, where the band literally lights their guitars on fire, can be watched at the following link via GearGods at http://geargods.net/music-videos/all-else-fails-the-sons-of-plenty-official-music-video-premiere/

“Guttural heaviness + impacting music = You’ll like it!” – CFMU 93.3 FM – Master Radio (Hamilton, ON
“The guys do a wicked job with the layering throughout the album especially with the guitars and vocals.” – Kingston Music Reviews
“The songs on this short album are powerful and come in a rapid assault. Songs like ‘Bones‘ and ‘Twice Broken‘ are incredibly fast monsters that are worthy of any moshpit. It’s bloody awesome! Overall, “The Forever Lie” is a brilliant album worthy of any Metal collection.” – 925 Rebellion
“From song to song you are greeted by pummeling riffs, heavy blasting drums, thick bass lines and vocals that transition between menacing and deadly growls to soaring and highly intoxicating cleans. Before you know it All Else Fails has you headbanging and singing along to each of their songs. They get you involved in this record nice and early with their powerful metallic anthems and they keep you listening all throughout without you ever thinking about skipping over a song.” – Cadaver Garden

Press Highlights:
““Fucktropolis”. What an awesome name for an EP. And what an awesome EP it is.” – Metal Temple
“…something to lose your mind to with its mood changing, schizophrenic aggression. You can clearly see how All Else Fails are rising to great heights with their dark, sinister lyricism and smooth, clean choruses.” – Altsounds
“Check out tracks like “Better Left Undead” and “Obedience at the Altar of Sacrifice” for strong examples of this band pushing themselves into hard and aggressive sounds.” – Sea of Tranquility
“…this is a well written and well executed album and covers many bases in terms of appeal; production, writing, groove and heaviness…The opening track “Anti Martyr” is a great track and serves as the initial impact and what a strike it was…” – Rock n Reel Reviews
“In songs such as “Obedience At The Alter Of Sacrifice” we can appreciate the genius guitar work and awesome composition that sets this band apart from others within the genre”. – Goetia Metal
“What a grenade! Getting into “Fucktropolis” points the way that ALL ELSE FAILS want to go with their EP: Gloomy tension, social criticism, brutality and sophisticated accents in their music…The Canadians have unleashed and bring an incredibly powerful hardness into their music.” – Metal4.de
“What a great title for an EP!…Not only is the production crystal clear, but all 5 tracks are consistently heavy and brutal. I really dig the intro to the EP at the beginning of “Anti Martyr,” the dialogue really sets the tone for the EP in it’s entirety. Shane Tym lays down a relentless beating on those poor drums, what a heavy hitter!” – Counter Culture Nerd
“When you name your EP Fucktropolis, you are definitely going to make waves…When the band kicks off “AntiMartyr,” I am instantly feeling it.” – American Aftermath
“I say this album is a solid 9/10 bringing a sound you don’t often hear from Alberta.” – Broken Neck Radio
“What is also apparent on this third release is not only the sheer creativity of the group, but also its stone cold knack for writing songs designed to permanently embed in the gray matter…There is just something about the band’s songwriting approach; it seems so darn natural and effortless. On “The Oracle” nothing ever sounds forced, formulaic, or identifiable as anyone but ALL ELSE FAILS. Don’t let this one slip past your radar. “ – Blabbermouth.net
“It would not surprise me in the slightest if you heard this group grace the airwaves from the obscure darkly lit, pubs of Gothenburg to the soundboards of our own local modern rock stations. It seems more than fortunate that these Alberta natives named their album The Oracle because these local talents have clearly seen the future.” – Edmonton Journal
“A Monster of a Metal Opus” – The Edmonton Journal
“All Else Fails have delivered us a brilliant new album” – Confront Magazine
“The epic twelve track album [The Oracle] explores their most extraordinary sound to date. Ranging in themes from the apocalypse (‘This World In Flames’, ‘Rebirth’) to drug abuse (‘Fallen’), to religious persecution (‘Monster Eats The Pilot’), to being haunted by the sins of one’s past (‘The House At The End of The World’)” – PureGrainAudio.com
“Obsidian Walls” is a colossal song” – Planet Mosh
“”The Oracle” is a highly addictive journey that captures the listener from start to finish.” – SpazioRock.it (Italy)
“The Oracle is one hell of a powerful album, packed with no end of metal elements, punk edginess and even jazz flourishes . One could make the standard obligatory comparisons to other metal records, but The Oracle defies all traditional categorization. The music is at once darkly visceral and starkly beautiful. In a world of countless “core” clones in the metal scene today, this opus stands out amongst the many. All Else Fails have realized their most compelling yet pulveringing album to date.” – Metalholic Magazine
“For St Albert-based band, All Else Fails, music is not just an end in and of itself, it’s a means to an end. The trio uses its music to ask questions about some of the bigger issues facing the world, without necessarily drawing concrete conclusions. Preferring to provoke debate than provide answers…” – Vue Weekly – Edmonton
“ALL ELSE FAILS is a brand of metal that represents brutality, melody, and freshness that is well captured on The Oracle, What Was, Is And Could Have Been.” WeLoveMetal.com
“…plenty of gems amongst them, including “Twilight Of Mankind,” “Monster Eats The Pilot”, the crushing “Rebirth” and the symphonic/metallic based stand out effort “Obsidian Walls”” – Blistering.com
“All Else Fails have crafted one of the most diverse sounding albums I’ve heard in a while. The Oracle, What Was Is and Could Have Been refuses to be pigeon-holed into a genre, and that’s why it’s great. Rather than sick to a straight formula, All Else Fails branch out into several genres and bring their sound into the fold to produce some incredibly creative songs.” – The Age Of Metal
“When it came down to the track list at hand, I can point a few starlets that mesmerized me. I recommend on “This World In Flames”, both electric and acoustic, bone crushing “Rebirth” and “Obsidian Walls”, “Fallen” was a great treat even though it was lyrically heavy, and I even found the last parody “Robots!!! KOLTG” as cool. In addition to the names of the hits, I urge to take a deep listen to the rest while trying to notice the strong connection between the musical diversities and the strong lyrical sense. ALL ELSE FAILS did more than a fine job on those creations.” – Metal-Temple.com
“The band, out of St. Albert, AB. plays music which brings together classical, progressive and metal elements, to create an orchestral approach to hard driving music” – Yorkton This Week
“An uncompromising metal album the way they don’t make them anymore” – The Sound Check
“These guys are wickedly awesome. Both shows last year, the guys tore it up. The CD always finds it’s way to the car on those long trips. If you weren’t at their last few shows, make a point to come out to this one. You won’t be disappointed.” – Baycore.net post by Jolt Entertainment
