Current line-up: Nero (vocals, guitar), Júlio Morais (Drums), Miguel (keyboard) and Roberto (bass);

Why angels fall it’s a Portuguese melodic doom metal band. In spite of having started palying in 1997, their first full-length album – The Unveiling - was just released last year. It’s is simply comprised of two songs, lasting more than thirty minutes each.

“Why Angels Fall play doom, OK.  It is melodic but it is also simple and tacit and minimal.(…) At their heaviest, Why Angels Fall get somewhat close to funeral doom. Letting their guitar effects do the load of the work, they maximize the heavy load. (…) At their lightest, Why Angels Fall are a folk band indulging in Middle Eastern music. (…) Their music is not a challenge, but a minor joy.” http://www.deafsparrow.com/
