Fall of the Albatross are an experimental/progressive metal band formed in the spring of 2007 in Queens, NY. The current lineup consists of guitarist/keyboardist Harold McCummings, guitarist Colin Ruhwedel, drummer Anthony Wong, and bassist Robert Anderson. The band incorporates a variety of styles including smooth jazz interludes, Latin rhythms, rock and mathcore riffs, and a mix of clean and screamed vocals. Fall of the Albatross manage to create metal that is eclectic and enjoyable for the open-minded listener.
The band self-released their debut EP, Entanglement, on May 18, 2011 with artwork done by Anderson. He also sells a limited amount of unique copies at shows with different inlay paintings.
