ARIAH FALLS on Robbs MetalWorks 2026

With the advent of new tech both the music industry (& musicians) have evolved onto a grandeur sphere; there is pro-tools, the sharing of audio files (through the cloud), the implementation of soundbites (& soundscapes), instant communications & social media. It has all made the entire process more efficient, productive & sophisticated. Then, (if you're lucky enough) the hand of FATE can ALSO play an intricate role in helping like minds come together. These are ALL elements which have brought San Antonio metalcore newcomers, Ariah Falls to the forefront of the SA metal scene. The band (which includes members from Nevada & Arkansas) released their debut EP, 'Lowlifes' in late 2024 delivering a straight forward approach to the genre & despite a re-release (& new marketing campaign) in 2025, the band knew their growth & continued evolution could conceive a sharpened effort. I first came to know the band earlier this year during the 'Battle For Wacken' event; and, while judging their performance was taken aback by their on-stage prowess, their hard hitting, yet diverse musical approach & professionalism. It piqued my interest & with fate's inevitable influence I came to know of the band's as of yet unreleased EP, 'No Wrath Like This'. Slated to be released later this year, this 5-song EP represents a NEW (& elevated) era for the band with tight BRUTAL metalcore songs that include: HUGE choruses, the addition of clean backing vocal & popping riffs (& drums) courtesy of Fernando Lemus who produced/engineered the effort. Just listen to the FIRST single, 'Last Message Home' which recently dropped back on April 10th, 2026. I knew Ariah Falls was ready for RMW, so a couple of weeks later on April 24th, 2026, I invited the band to the RMW Studio to discuss it ALL. In the interview below you will see us chat about: the band's early formation (& evolution), their version of metalcore, the writing process, what NWLT is delivering, lyrical themes, upcoming shows, video work & MUCH more! To ALL the Familia (who dig on modern metalcore) - be SURE to CHECK OUT the single NOW. You can find it at ALL music media outlets. To Rob, Mike, Chad & Kiff - THANK YOU for sharing your hearts in our interview & being ALL IN as soon as you walked through the door. May 2026 bring you ALL that you desire! ~ El Mero Metal #ariahfalls #robbsmetalworks #nowrathlikethis #lastmessagehome #supportSAmetal
