“I think this is the way our band was always supposed to sound," comments Deneeve. “It’s taken over 6 years and 4 records but this is the most significant thing we have ever done.”

“This record IS us,” states Newton. “When I listen to what we did, I just can’t wait until we start playing these songs live.”
The music FATA created on Holding A Wolf By The Ears heralds a new beginning for the New York-based band. “I want to do everything I can to get people to realize that this is really like a new band,” says Mark.
The most recognizable sign of this reinvention is Mark’s recent shift from drummer to drummer and full-time vocalist, a result of the departure of former lead singer Benjamin Perri. But over the course of the album’s 12 tracks, it becomes clear that for the band, that more has changed than just a voice.

Holding a Wolf by The Ears finds From Autumn to Ashes playing with a level of passion and intensity not seen since their 2001 debut, Too Bad You’re Beautiful. Fans will still find the searing guitars and bone-crunching rhythms, but there’s a new duality – a much heavier sound buoyed by the focused melodies that introduce the listener to Mark’s surprisingly dynamic vocal range.
