About
Fear Before (originally known as Fear Before the March of Flames) was an American post-hardcore band formed in Aurora, Colorado. Their name originated from a newspaper headline about the 2002 Hayman Fire titled "The Fear Before The March of Flames." They released four albums: Odd How People Shake (2003), Art Damage (2004), The Always Open Mouth (2006), and Fear Before (2008). In 2010 the band announced went on indefinite hiatus. Fear Before drew inspiration from bands including Botch, Converge and The Blood Brothers.
