Before forming Escape the Fate, vocalist Ronnie Radke, bassist Max Green, drummer Robert Ortiz, lead guitarist Bryan Monte Money, and rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa were in multiple bands together.
In September 2005, Escape the Fate had won a local radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance. The gig awarded them the opportunity to open a show on the band's headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect, which subsequently led to Escape the Fate's record deal with Epitaph.
On May 23, 2006, the band released their debut EP titled There's No Sympathy for the Dead. The EP included two songs that were later on their full-length album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. The EP was produced by Michael Baskette and helped earn the band attention from record labels and fans alike. After the EP's release, keyboardist Carson Allen left the band to join On the Last Day.
On September 26, 2006, the band released their first full-length album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.
In 2007, during the Black on Black tour, rhythm guitarist Omar Espinosa left the band due to personal issues.
Ronnie Radke was asked to leave the band after he was sentenced to prison in June 2008 for multiple run-ins with the law involving narcotics and battery for a fight that led up to the death of Michael Cook. As stated by Max Green, "First we couldn't tour out of the country, then out of the state."
After the departure of Radke, former Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbitt joined the band, first as a temporary replacement, and then as a permanent member.
This War Is Ours was released on October 21, 2008. It included the singles "The Flood", "Something", "10 Miles Wide", and "This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II)". It was the first Escape the Fate album featuring Craig Mabbitt as the vocalist.
Escape the Fate announced via a MySpace bulletin that they would film a video for "This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II)" on January 9, 2010. It was filmed at the Yost Theater in Santa Ana, California.
On February 15, 2010, Epitaph Records announced the re-release of the This War Is Ours album in deluxe CD/DVD edition. The CD includes two new never before heard songs, later identified to be "Bad Blood" and "Behind the Mask", an acoustic version of "Harder Than You Know", and an unreleased remix of "This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II)" called "This War Is Mine", remixed by the Shawn Crahan. It also came with a DVD that featured the new music video to "This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II)", as well as "Something", "The Flood", and "10 Miles Wide". It also comes with a world tour documentary and a behind the music feature. It was released on April 27, 2010.
In an interview during Warped Tour 2009, Max Green stated that the album will feature a song co-written by Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe, who approached Escape the Fate to collaborate on some songs but later was revealed that they decided against putting the song on the album and saving for a future release.
Starting July 24, 2010, they set off on tour for South and Central America, the country's toured are Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela.
On July 26, 2010, Escape the Fate announced via MySpace some new updates on the album. They officially said that the new record will be released through a major record label, DGC/Interscope, and produced by Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine, Hollywood Undead). Its release was set for November 2nd, 2010. Max Green commented on it, saying, "This record is the cure for the modern-day music epidemic, We are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it.” Escape The Fate was set to take on a United States, Canada, and Europe tour before the release of the album, with Bullet For My Valentine, Drive A and Black Tide but later forfeited their spot due to Max Green admitting to rehab.
On August 31, 2010, the band released the album's first single, "Massacre." Their second single, and first official one to be released to radio stations, "Issues", from the self-titled album, Escape the Fate, leaked via KROQ Radio on the 9th of September, and later officially released the single, "Issues", on September 15, 2010. The music video of "Issues", premiered on September 28 on Youtube. December 21, the next single released was "City of Sin" with a music video for it on Youtube.
On January 11, 2011, the band performed live in "Tues Show" (Fuel. tv) the song "Issues" and "Gorgeous Nightmare" with the special collaboration of Kevin Thrasher (of Lovehatehero). On June 15, 2011, the band released a music video for their next single off the self-titled album, "Gorgeous Nightmare". The video was directed by Robby Starbuck, who has previously worked with Asking Alexandria and Silverstein. On August 19, 2011, the band announced via Facebook that Monte Money would be taking a break from touring but will still be in the band. Kevin Thrasher, who has worked with the band in the past, will be substituting for Monte. It was also announced that Max Green returned to the band after making a breakthrough in the first half of 2011 to recover from his addiction to drugs through rehab. “I’m feeling great and am glad to be back with my band. Escape The Fate is my life. This is where I belong.”, Max Green said. After they played a couple of shows at the 2011 Uproar Festival, Max, again, left the band and Zakk Sandler, from Black Tide (who was also playing Uproar), filled in for him.
Tj Bell, currently bassist of getting Scared once again filled in for bassist Max Green on the bands UK tour with Funeral For A Friend, who had previously filled in for Green on their tour with Papa Roach.
In mid-December 2011, the band re-entered the studio to work on the production of their fourth album. The album will be produced by John Feldmann and is scheduled for release sometime in 2012. It is currently unknown if Max Green has returned to the band to play bass on the upcoming album or if the band hired a new bassist. However, there is much speculation as to former Motionless In White rhythm guitarist and current Get Scared bassist TJ Bell will be taking over on bass due to the band tweeting pictures of him recording in the studio, plus his recent touring history with the band filling in for Max Green.
On December 27, Craig Mabbitt posted on his official Facebook page that he will be recording music for his new side-project all through January 2012 and recording for Escape the Fate all through February. He commented that since they are recording with John Feldmann again, who they worked with on their second album, This War Is Ours, the style of the upcoming album will be similar to This War Is Ours but will also have elements of their self-titled album added in. He teased a big upcoming announcement as well.

Escape the Fate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves the way that I tease
I love the way that she breathes
I touched her ooh, she touched my ah
It was the craziest thing
I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me
A certain girl she took my hand and ran it up her thigh
She can't behave and I'm just a slave
Don't worry I'll be gone when the morning comes
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
Dying is your latest fashion
The frustration it's a regular thing
I hate the ones who love to hate because they're just like me
A certain girl she took her hand and put it in my lap
"It's way too full," she said
"Once you have me you'll always come back"
She can't behave and I'm just a slave
Don't worry I'll be gone when the morning comes
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
Dying is your latest fashion
I know you love to resist
And all it takes is a kiss
And you just love to hate me
You know, you love all the lies
So don't act surprised
That I just love to hate you
I kissed your lips you pulled my hair it was the craziest thing
I love the girls who love to hate
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
Dying is your latest fashion
Darling what is going on? (Leave me)
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong (darling)
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
Dying is your favorite passion
The song "Situations" by Escape the Fate is about a casual sexual encounter between two people who are drawn to each other despite knowing it's not a good idea. The singer enjoys the way his partner teases him, and he reciprocates with his own teasing. They engage in sexual acts, both enjoying the thrill, but ultimately the relationship is doomed to end quickly. The singer recognizes that he is just a slave to his partner's whims and knows that he will leave come morning.
The chorus of the song asks, "Darling, what is going on?" The singer is confused about the situation and his partner's motives, but he also recognizes that lying is her favorite pastime. He advises her to go where she belongs, surrounded by higher heels and lipstick napkins, which represents the superficial lifestyle she leads. The chorus also showcases the irony of their situation, where they both hate and love each other, and lying and hating are their favorite passions.
The song suggests that the relationship is only a physical one, with no emotional connection. The singer knows that their encounter is not meaningful, and it's "dying" as they pursue shallow lifestyles. The chorus's repetition of the phrase "dying is your latest fashion" suggests that the relationship and lifestyle choices are temporary and will soon be outdated.

@TrickerFailureFilms
Bands are like a human being.
The brain is the Vocalist
The heart is the Percussion
The lungs are the Guitarists
The veins are the Bassists
Replacing a singer is like getting a brain transplant. It's really hard, nearly impossible to get used to.
Heart transplant, hard though it is (here demonstrated by the hardships of Avenged Sevenfold) It's still pretty easy to get over.
Replace lungs... Well... Whatever. You hardly even notice (if that was even possible.
And veins, you wouldn't really notice. Well, actually you would but I didn't have any other vitals I could compare a Bassist too. Other than a stomach... But that seems kind of mean to say they are part of a digestion track...
Right here, Escape the Fate got a brain transplant. Leaving behind Ronnie for Craig. It's much too different, and impossible for me to think, the new Escape the Fate album doesn't sound like the previous one I know and love.
It's such a shame, too. Ronnie got over his habits, but he's still the best singer they had, and gotten rid of.
