Falling In Reverse perform with two special guests during Knotfest Mexico

Due to Slipknot‘s absence from the recent ‘Knotfest Mexico’ held at Estadio Fray Nano in Mexico City on December 6th, Marilyn Manson, a controversial shock rocker, was scheduled to headline the event. Falling In Reverse, an extensively successful alternative metal band, served as the penultimate act on the lineup, as reported by theprp. This event marked the live debut of the collaborative track “God Is A Weapon” by the two artists, as it was originally recorded and released.

Although Falling In Reverse has frequently included the song in their performances, this occasion was notable for Manson’s physical presence to perform his part in person. Additional guest appearances featured Russian deathcore group Slaughter To Prevail, with their frontman Alex Terrible joining the stage for his contribution to Falling In Reverse’s song “Ronald.”

Falling In Reverse return with 2024’s “Popular Monster,” the postmodern trailblazer’s first full-length in seven years. The album arrives armed with no less than three RIAA-certified gold singles (“ZOMBIFIED,” “Voices in My Head,” “Watch the World Burn”), the double-platinum title track, a reimagined nu metal classic, and six brand new anthems of furious metal, melody, and hip-hop. 

“Popular Monster” is a defiant statement and triumphant victory for singer, songwriter, bandleader, and provocateur Ronnie Radke, who invented Falling In Reverse inside a prison cell. 

Radke fills the fifth full-length from Falling In Reverse with invincible and irresistible songs that resonate across generations and genres. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Tyler Smyth (I Prevail, Skillet, Lights), “Popular Monster” is full of confessional angst, bravado, and clever wordplay. 

Ronnie formed a series of pop-punk bands in Las Vegas as a teenager, culminating in the creation of Escape The Fate. The metalcore group’s meteoric rise coincided with the singer’s spiral into addiction. By the time he was sentenced to two years in prison, the band he started had moved on without him. Some fans, critics, and industry types figured his story would end there. 

They were very wrong.
