In Fear and Faith

Formed in 2006 in San Diego, CA, In Fear & Faith wasted little time establishing a hometown audience with their blend of furious instrumentation, electronic flourishes, and screamo vocals. Members Tyler McElhaney, Mehdi Niroomand, Noah Slifka, Cody Anderson, and Ramin Niroomand also embraced elements of heavy metal, and the resulting hybrid helped earn them a contract with Rise Records. Your World on Fire, the group's debut effort, was subsequently released in early 2009. Imperial followed in 2010. ~ Andrew Leahey
