History Wheelfall

Wheelfall is a French metal band formed in 2009 as a sludge and stoner doom band, but their sound progressed towards a post metal style, that also included strong influences from industrial rock, dark ambient, progressive metal and black metal.

Thus, there is a real divide between the first period of the band, extending from 2009 to 2012, and the second period beginning from the album Glasrew Point in 2015 after a hiatus of nearly two year.

The band is known for its concept albums, combining music, storytelling, literature and visuals. Wheelfall follows the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk through their records, to broach themes such as "the survival, the relation with technology and mass communication, the madness and loss of identity and ideals" and skepticism, which is a very recurrent doctrine in the concepts of the band.
