In case any of you haven't heard yet, Ben Moody, John Lecompt and Rocky Gray have formed a new band with Carly Smithson as the lead singer. They're known as the Fallen, and will make their official debut on Monday with a press conference and by offering their first song, "Bury Me Alive," for download on their website, wearethefallen.com.
Apparently the hordes are already having a shitfit, claiming this is just an Evanescence tribute band, or some such, forgetting that would mean they're simply paying tribute to themselves.
Though the street date for Ben's album is March 3, 2009, we've been able to get a taste of what's coming in the Mutiny Bootleg EP. It's a four track sample of Ben's songs, with one track, a rerecording of "Everything Burns" with Hana Pestle, that will only be available here.
For me the real standout track is "The Way We Are." The honesty and vulnerability in Ben's lyrics along with his vocal delivery are somehow both heartbreaking and healing.
At his best moments Ben reminds me of both singer-songwriter Justin McRoberts and Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till's dark folk solo work.
I encourage you to give a listen or 12 to this preview of things to come.

I found this after hearing about it on the radio in Kelowna. No clue how old it is.... OR.... if its even real but It has Ben Moody in it so regardless if its real or not it is still awesome.
Anyone heard about the movie Ben was in recently? Did it get released on DVD yet?
Anyways just wanted to share this cause I thought it was awesome.
I came across a picture today on Google.. that was Ben with his headcast i guess it's for some movie he's gonna be in I haven't heard anything about it... is Ben doing a solo album or has he taken a break f/ writing music... I wish he's get into another band... I love to hear his work
got an idea.. but you gotta join my group to hear me out... the sound asleep myspace group oowah even if you're like i was (and still kinda am) and hate myspace just make a bullshit account for fun shit like this and da a friend finder search for the display name " dead man dreaming " and add me as a friend. then i'll send the invite. after that you're all free to invite whoever, but you gotta join to read the thought process behind the whole thing. i promise...it's painless .....and we may even have special hats..or a handshake or something
