Amphibious Assault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the industrial music group featuring former Kittie guitarist, Fallon Bowman. For the military strategy involving land troops dispatched from Naval ships, see amphibious assault.
Amphibious Assault began when 17-year-old, former Kittie guitarist, Fallon Bowman was on a plane from Ontario to New Jersey, skimming through a Tom Clancy novel when she came upon the term amphibious assault. Bowman, who had entertained thoughts of a new musical project, thought the term would be a great name for an industrial band.
Bowman would go on to record several tracks with Pigface for the band's 2003 album, Easy Listening. Her enjoyment of the recording experience, led her to begin writing music again. She purchased a sequencer and began exploring the industrial genre that she had always admired but never actively pursued. In the months that followed, Bowman's basement filled with drum machines and synthesizers. From her basement, she crafted the songs that would make up Amphibious Assault's debut album, District Six, released on The Orchard label. Bowman's former Kittie bandmate, bassist Talena Atfield, has also contributed to Amphibious Assault, as has guitarist Pete Henderson.
Amphibious Assault's second album has been completed and was originally scheduled for a June, and then an August, 2005 release but has been delayed, largely due to Bowman's school schedule. Her scheduled live shows with Pigface, for their 2005 tour, were also affected by the schedule. She occasionally updates her fans through her blog on the Amphibious Assault website [1]. On November 1st, 2006, Fallon updated the Amphibious Assault webpage stating that she hopes to release the second album in December of 2006, and that "It will most likely be the last release from this project".
