Fall From Eden

In 1996, four friends met up in high school and decided to start a band; the band was called Face Down. They gigged around their home town of Mandeville, playing their own brand of Melodic-Hardcore. As time passed, the band progressed to a point that they needed a quality studio recording of their music. This is where Gene Joanen and Dave Fortman came into the picture. The year was 1999, and a recording was made. Gene Joanen and Dave Fortman were so impressed that they decided to give the band a shot. With their help, the band continued to progress to a point where a new name was needed, that's where Fall From Eden was born. In early 2000 Justin Whited(Bass,Vocals), Jarrett Neville(Guitar,Vocals), and Eric Pressler(Guitar), decided to part ways with their original drummer, Billy Blanke and went through a few different drummers before recruiting Rory Faciane. Fall From Eden fuses metal, hardcore-punk, with a little bit of singing here and there.

In the mid '90s, Gene Joanen set out to change the world through music. He, along with Dave Fortman, created Balance Recording Studio. Not content to sit back and let others decide which music to release, Joanen decided he needed to start a label. From this, Nocturnal Records was born.

Nocturnal Records has worked with Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne, Superjoint Ritual), Daniel Rey (the Ramones, Misfits, Murphey’s Law), J. Yuenger (White Zombie, Fu Manchu), and Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity, Down) to produce some amazing music from bands like Suplecs and Fall From Eden.

Having weathered all that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita could muster, Nocturnal has come out swinging with its latest band, Terra Diablo.
