During 2007 & 2008 members of Fall.Out joined forces with core band members from other popular local metal acts. All members had different skill sets and personalities which created a unique and diverse playing field for the development of fresh music. The years of experience gained through being involved with various bands of contrasting styles gave the members a chance to develop their musical skills and taste what is involved whilst working in a band. In 2008 it was decided that the heart of every member involved in this project lay in the future of their work together and This is Turin was conceived.

This is Turin is a concept that has a focus on musical progression and stimulating the listeners senses. In a time where extreme music has becomes increasingly saturated with sub-genres and cliché scenes, This is Turin has focused on what is essential for the future of extreme music and that is not only too push the abilities of their performance but their ability to create innovative music with a purpose. It is hard to categorise This is Turin and that is the true essence of the thought process behind the band. There is a firm focus on creating music that holds aesthetics, emotion and ability to keep the listener interested throughout.

The band has already laid down the foundations of their future within extreme music. Alongside a series of mini tours across the country that included festival appearances, the band has also started to grasp the attention of their public & peers. The band convincingly won ‘Post-mortem Manchester’ which was a competition set out to find Manchester’s finest unsigned metal act. The band won with an impressive 54% of the public vote. The band also won the finals of ‘MCN live! 2008’ which was a competition including 8 of the UK’s finest unsigned acts compiled by Kerrang. The band won by an “overwhelming” public & judges vote.

This is an expression and passion that has been forged through years of dedication and development. This is a sound that holds raw emotion with a furious under current of feeling that has the capability to transform from relentless aggression and tragedy to prosperity and hope.

This is what we are and where we want to be.
