Skycamefalling was a metalcore band from Long Island, New York, USA. They formed in 1997 and self-released a four-song demo cassette entitled "A Penny For Your Confessions". The demo went on to sell well over one thousand demos and the band was contacted by Belgium's Good Life Recordings shortly after. Skycamefalling entered Brass Giraffe studios in New York City sometime in 1998 to begin recording their debut EP. "To Forever Embrace The Sun" was released in 1999 and the band quickly began establishing a fanbase both in the United States as well as Europe. By the year 2000, their relationship with Good Life quickly soured and Skycamefalling signed with New Jersey's Ferret Music. 10.21, the bands only full-length album, was released in 2001 and was well-received by both fans and critics. Touring relentlessly for nearly two years as well as a brief stint on Warped Tour, Skycamefalling decided to go their separate ways. The band played two final Long Island shows at the Local Seven (one under the name "Embrace The Sun" in which the band played their debut EP from start to finish) as well as their last show at Hellfest in the summer of 2003. Their final self-titled EP left their fans with two final songs (Thera and The Elephant Graveyard). These tracks were early, rough recordings for songs that were to be on 10.21 but since the band was breaking up, they gave Ferret Music the rights to release the songs because of left-over debt that the band had yet to fulfill. Cameron Keym is currently the guitarist for the band The Sleeping along with Sal Mignano on Bass and Joe Zizzo on Drums. Christopher Tzompanakis, Matt Woisin, and Rob Holohan formed Farewell Tide which disbanded shortly after formation. Christopher Tzompanakis also briefly fronted Spectators.
