Who would have thought a band could combine the sounds of death metal and emo, and create a harmony that works?
From Autumn to Ashes, or FATA, have successfully mixed two very different genres of music, and on Saturday they showed Albuquerque fans bipolar music may be the way to go.
The three-year-old band is comprised of vocalist Benjamin Perri, drummer Francis Mark, guitarists Scott Gross and Brian Deneeve and bassist Josh Newton.
Their debut album Too Bad You're Beautiful was released on the indie label Ferret Music. Their latest album, The Fiction We Live, was released on larger label Vagrant Records. They've toured twice with the Vans Warped Tour, gaining popularity and a steady fan base across the country.
FATA is distinctive in many ways. Mark is not only the drummer, but also sings, contrasting the harsh voice of Perri.

The Fiction We Live is a concept album, in which Autumn is a character in a book yet to be written, and one song is written in two parts. In "Autumn's Monologue," a girl hauntingly pledges her love, and the title track is the response to her pleads. It's complicated but successful - like the band itself.
