FALLING IN REVERSE returns with 2024’s ‘Popular Monster,’ marking the postmodern trailblazer’s highly-anticipated first full-length release in seven years. The album showcases an impressive lineup of hits including three RIAA-certified gold singles (‘ZOMBIFIED,’ ‘Voices in My Head,’ ‘Watch the World Burn’), a double-platinum title track, a reimagined nü-metal classic, and six fresh anthems blending furious metal, melodious tunes, and hip-hop vibes.
‘Popular Monster’ stands as a bold declaration and resounding triumph for the multitalented singer, songwriter, bandleader, and provocateur Ronnie Radke, who conceived Falling In Reverse during his time behind bars. Radke injects the band’s fifth full-length album with invulnerable and irresistible tracks that transcend generations and musical styles. Produced in collaboration with Tyler Smyth (known for work with I Prevail, Skillet, Lights), ‘Popular Monster’ is a fusion of introspective angst, bold swagger, and clever lyricism.
Beginning his musical journey by forming various pop-punk bands in Las Vegas during his youth, Ronnie Radke’s path led to the creation of Escape The Fate. The rapid ascent of this metalcore outfit coincided with Radke’s personal struggles with addiction. Upon receiving a two-year prison sentence, Radke found himself left behind by the band he helped establish. Despite expectations from some fans and critics that his narrative would conclude there, Radke’s artistic evolution continues to defy expectations.
