From a Second Story Window (sometimes abbreviated as FASSW) is a metalcore band that formed in 1999 in Ohio, United States, as Aphasia. By 2003, they had changed their name to From a Second Story Window.[1]
After releasing Delenda, the band toured throughout North America and Europe until the summer of 2007. Then they finished writing their second full-length album. Conversations was released May 27, 2008, again on Black Market Activities. They toured Europe in 2007, along with Walls of Jericho, Born from Pain, Fear My Thoughts, All Shall Perish, and Freya. On August 29, 2008, in a MySpace blog, the band announced that they had disbanded.[2]
On November 18, 2023, the band's current line-up reunited (along with former vocalist Sean Vandegrift for 'I Tried Voodoo Once'),[3] and played a reunion show[4] near their hometown at Westside Bowl in Youngstown, Ohio. Openers included Neighbor Dan, Nights Like These, and See You Next Tuesday. They are currently writing new material.
Musical style
The band's first two releases primarily featured a mix of progressive metal, mathcore, and deathcore, with AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason referring to Delenda as "deeply schizoid."[5]Conversations features a more melodic progressive metalcore and post-hardcore sound, dropping most of the mathcore and deathcore influences from previous releases.[6][7]
