“Warning: This album contains everything your parents hate, the government fears, and the church preaches against. Enjoy.”
And that’s how Counterfeit Recollections begins.
The new album from fallfiftyfeet, out today, is a masterclass in hardened metalcore baked with spirited melodies and a distinctive technical display. Recorded with Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recordings and mastered by Kris Crummett, the songs impact with twisted riffs, intriguing samples, and a sense of urgency. Serving as the band’s sophomore album and fourth overall release, Counterfeit Recollections finds fallfiftyfeet as band that has grown into their own and marks a definitive moment.
The elevation in sound latches into lyrical themes of growth and loss. Guitarist/vocalist James Becca shares: “As you grow older you lose people, you lose parts of yourself you might have thought you would never lose, and it makes you lose a sense of reality at times. You have to come to terms with things you thought were set in stone and could never change. If you can’t do that, then your losses will haunt you.”
Guest appearances from 156/Silence, PRINCESS, and buriedbutstillbreathing nod to the community fallfiftyfeet has built through their do-it-yourself ethic. With the release of Counterfeit Recollections, 2025 is primed to be fallfiftyfeet’s biggest year yet.
