Hopesfall was a melodic hardcore\post-hardcore band from Charlotte, North Carolina formed in 1998. They were signed to Trustkill Records.
As of 2007, no original members remained and by 2008 the band had declared to have broken up on their myspace. This was due to problems with the record label Trustkill, revealed on “Ryan’s Rock Show”, at which trustkill retaliated a few weeks later.
Hopesfall started as a christian metal/hardcore band in 1998. They released their first album, The Frailty of Words, soon after on the Christian hardcore/punk label DTS Records. Although The Frailty of Words remains to this day their longest album, it has been out of print for many years and is no longer acknowledged by the band on their website. Much of their popularity came later with 2001’s No Wings to Speak Of EP. Shortly after the EP was released and a few member changes later, Hopesfall released The Satellite Years to moderate success and great reviews. The album broke down the barriers of the metal sound found on earlier recordings and brought forth a beautifully aggressive yet melodic new Hopesfall. As of the release of The Satellite Years, Hopesfall no longer considers themselves a Christian band.
In 2004, the band released A Types, an early nineties grunge inspired and softer sound.

I like all their stuff. In fact, A-Types is probably my favourite. It may not be as technical as Satellite Years but the songs are much better and they are much more moving.
