Biography

Though its members individually boast a wide range of tastes (from jazz to folk to hardcore), it was a common love of mid-'90s alternative rock acts like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden that brought together Flagstaff, AZ-based Mercy Fall in the early 2000s. Comprised of vocalist Nate Stone, guitarist Jeff Lusby, bassist Kieran Smiley, and drummer Ethan Rea, the quartet worked hard over two years to shape their vision of bringing heart, inspiration, and emotion to their variety of hard rock. Recorded demos eventually landed the guys a deal with Atlantic Records, and spring 2005 was spent crafting their mystic debut full-length with producer Howard Benson (P.O.D., My Chemical Romance). For the Taken was issued in May 2006; subsequent tour dates with bands like Shinedown, Trapt, and Seether followed. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

History

After recording a series of demos, the band was signed to Atlantic Records in August 2004. After signing with Atlantic, they headed to Los Angeles, where they spent the spring of 2005 in the studio, with producer Howard Benson [1] (My Chemical Romance, P.O.D.).

The band's debut album, For the Taken, was produced by Benson. The first single, "I Got Life", reached #36 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.[2] After the album's release, the band spent the summer of 2006 opening for Post-grunge act Seether on the Karma and Effect tour.

Mercy Fall also remade former WWE wrestler Bobby Lashley's entrance theme which is entitled "Hell Will Be Callin' Your Name" and premiered at The Great American Bash 2007".[3]

On December 12, 2007 it was announced that lead singer Nate Stone had left Mercy Fall to pursue folk music.[4]

The remaining members of Mercy Fall went on to form the band Corvo Radio.[5]
