Formed in the Spring of 2007, Fall of the Albatross delivers experimental metal that may come as a breath of fresh air to many fans of heavy music. Incorporating smooth jazz interludes, intense latin rhythms, emotionally driven rock riffs,and a strange, but witty sense of humor, Fall Of The Albatross manages to create metal that is eclectic and enjoyable for the open-minded listener.

On their new ENTANGLEMENT EP, the band from Queens, NYC proves themselves a worthy player in a genre that defies usual classification, one the band themselves have dubbed 'Progtechjazzmacore'. like BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and CANDIRIA before them, FOTA manage to seamlessly walk the fine line between beauty and chaos, but they fetch something else to the table that few (if any) bands in this realm may assert to hold... soul.

There's a flow on Dulce de Leche that brings a MR. BUNGLE vibe both after and before a noisecore nightmare, ending with legitimately soulful vox. the funk groove that permeates Enjoy Yo' self is complemented by solid jazz riffing on guitar and drums, while the keys fetch the 70's swagger into full climax right before something brutal happens at 2:47:  Hardcore breakdown. To listen another example of stellar playing, check out the set closer of the Silver Epic. As if genetically engineered in a lab from DNA extracted from all the aforementioned bands along with that of GLASSJAW, DEFTONES, INFECTIOUS GROOVES, and PARLIMENT FUNKADELIC, FALL OF THE ALBATROSS is a band not to be missed for those who crave calculated insanity.
