Fear Before The March Of Flames have shortened their name to just Fear Before. Here's a statement why:

It gets so tiring repeating ‘Fear Before The March Of Flames’ over and over again to old lady gas station attendants in Nebraska. Mostly because in so many ways, we’re a new band. The long version of the name was good for us in the beginning because it was interesting and stood out. It paralleled our mentality of playing the music we were writing because we told ourselves, 'If we can pull off having this name, we had better be able to pull off the music we were writing.' The new album is 10 strong songs, no fillers or tag-ons... and we want the band name to replicate that.

Their new, self-titled album will be released on October 28th through Equal Vision Records, and will feature guest vocals from The Fall Of Troy, Heavy Heavy Low Low and Portugal. The Man.
