When Icarus Falls

The WIF adventure began in September '04, when four men decided to share their passion for music. For two years, the band composed some songs and searched for a repetition room, while making its first scenical performances. In November '06, the band discovered artists such as Cult of Luna, Unfold, Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ròs. The particular musical landscapes created by these bands caused a major change in the artistic direction of the band, which changed his name to « When Icarus Falls ». Then, the band was completed by a second guitarist, and decided to compose new songs, in the search for a powerful, loud and bewitching sound. After a year of hard work, WIF asked Julien Fehlmann to record its first EP, « Over The Frozen Seas''. In February '09, WIF was signed by Poison Tree Records (Fu Manchu, Mondo Generator) for the digital release of the EP. In April '09, WIF was signed by Get a Life! Records (Impure Wilhelmina, The Evpatoria Report) for booking and distribution of the EP.
