Sleep Theory hop on the reimagination train with their new version of their song, “Fallout.” Departing from the original nu-metalcore, hard rock sound, the act flexes their ability to be somber, yet vulnerable while still encompassing the full power of the track. A lyric video with a single lavender flower stands wavering, yet strong in front of a destroyed cityscape, which emphasizes the meaning behind the song.
“Go and keep your distance/As you fall to pieces/In your toxic madness” ends the track with heartbreaking, pain-filled vocals from singer Cullen Moore. The previous rendition generates rage-filled regret about a bad relationship. But both include the guttural realization of how dangerous and detrimental that experience was. Playing to the softer side changes the tone of any tune, and the four-piece act knows how to elevate those intricacies from an already heightened space.

“When we decided to reimagine this song, we wanted to peel back some of the musical layers and let the lyrics take center stage,” the band says. “Our goal is to create a space where everyone can relate to the emotions and stories embedded in our music.” Weaving storytelling methods by playing with the intonation of Moore’s voice and the instrumentals, they break down “Fallout” into a new, raw existence that fans can resonate with in a different way.
They’re currently on tour with Beartooth through March and will join Wage War on their spring run in April. You can check out their touring schedule below and, visit their site for tickets.
