Falling In Reverse recently unexpectedly dropped a brand-new song called “Joseph”, as per theprp. System Of A Down leader Serj Tankian and Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor each make two significant cameos on that song. For this new song, Falling In Reverse once again engaged the help of Jensen Noen, who is also the band’s controversial vocalist Ronnie Radke’s middle name.
After lead singer Ronnie Radke got into a fight in Las Vegas in 2006, a buddy shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Cook in self-defence. Radke was charged with possessing brass knuckles that he brought to the fight, even though he did not shoot Cook. Radke was placed on five years of probation as a result of these crimes as well as his prior drug and treatment issues. In June 2008, he was arrested for failing to report to his probation officer, which resulted in the revocation of his probation and a mandatory two-year prison sentence. Radke was the lead vocalist for the post-hardcore group Escape the Fate at the time. The group’s debut album, “Dying Is Your Latest Fashion”, was released in 2006.
Craig Mabbitt, the former lead singer of Blessthefall, took Radke’s position in the band after he was imprisoned. On December 12, 2010, Radke was let free. Radke talked on his relationship with the members of Escape the Fate since he left the band. He said that although they had made an effort to make amends with him, he was not interested in doing so because they had kicked him out and had misled their fans about him. Radke started a new band called From Behind These Walls while he was incarcerated. After his release, he formally started producing media with the band, although copyright issues eventually prompted them to rename it Falling in Reverse.
The demo includes five tracks, four of which did not appear on the debut album “The Drug in Me Is You”. The initial lineup included Radke and bassist Nason Schoeffler, who assisted in discovering guitarist Jacky Vincent, rhythm guitarist Derek Jones, and former The Bigger Lights drummer Ryan Seaman. Schoeffler left the band in April 2011 and was succeeded by Mika Horiuchi, who was previously a member of Cellador, but later also left due to problems with Radke.
