Following their 2000 EP Sin, Sorrow and Sadness, their debut full-length album Too Bad You're Beautiful was released on Ferret Records in August 2001. The unique blend of melodic hardcore and innovative vocals executed on this album quickly made the band an underground success.
The bands second album The Fiction We Live, was released in September 2003 and was the first to be released on Vagrant Records. Although the album retained the intricate dual vocal style that earned the group success in the first place, the overall sound became more melodic than its predecessor, featuring a larger focus on Fran Mark's singing presence. Following the albums release, the band made videos for 'The After Dinner Payback' which featured on the 'Freddy vs Jason' soundtrack, and also 'Lilacs and Lolita' and 'Milligram Smile'. The album also marked the final appearances of guitarist Scott Gross and bassist Mike Pilato.
Featuring a new lineup of Benjamin Perri (vocals), Brian Deneeve (guitar, piano, backing vocals) and Francis Mark (drums, vocals) alongside new members Jon Cox (guitar) and Josh Newton (bass, backing vocals), Abandon Your Friends was released on Vagrant in August 2005. Due to problems with vocalist Ben and his contributions to the band, the album featured an increased focus on drummer/vocalist Fran Mark, and an overall lighter approach, marking a slight departure from the traditional FATA sound. The band made a video for 'Where Do You Draw The Line' to promote the release, but the album was not well received.
Vocalist Ben Perri left the band according to a MySpace blog posted on December 5th, 2006. However, the band continued without him, with Fran Mark on full vocal duties. Jon Cox (guitar) also left the band sometime before recording sessions in November 2006, leaving a lineup of Fran Mark (vocals and drums), Brian Deneeve (guitars) and Josh Newton (bass) to record the next album as a three piece. However, for live purposes, Fran chose to front the band. The limited edition EP These Speakers Don't Always Tell The Truth was released as a Hot Topic exclusive on March 13th, 2007, featuring 2 tracks from the brand new album, Holding A Wolf By The Ears, which itself was released on April 10th, 2007 to relatively high critical acclaim.
Ex bassist Mike Pilato returned to the live band replacing Josh Newton following the release of Holding A Wolf By The Ears, performing alongside new members Rob Lauritson and Jeff Gretz on their final tours.
FATA's final line up was;
Francis Mark - Lead Vocals
Brian Deneeve - Guitar & Vocals
Mike Pilato - Bass
Rob Lauritson - Guitar
Jeff Gretz - Drums & Vocals

From Autumn To Ashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(it won't be long, it won't be long now)
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)
I know my hatred is perfect
(it won't be long, it won't be long now)
For the culprit who deserves it
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)
dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling
on the might of kings and captains on
(spit something out, speak to me right now)
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
(step of my throat, get off my throat now)
I know my hatred is perfect
(spit something out, speak to me right now)
For the culprit who deserves it
(step of my throat, get off my throat now)
dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling
I know my hatred is pure
For the new recruit
Impostors on the fast track
To public execution
Beggars for mercy unite
But your pleas are ineffective
And if you ever come back
Beautiful incarnation
I'll lie down at your feet and
Accept my punishment
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling
"Deth Kult Social Club" by From Autumn to Ashes is a song that explores themes of anger, revenge, and the futility of violence. The opening lines, "On the might of kings and captains on / (it won't be long, it won't be long now) / On the eyes of midnight watchmen / (I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)" suggest that the singer is ready to act on their hatred and take revenge on someone who they feel deserves it. The repetition of "it won't be long, it won't be long now" and "I'm on my way, I'm on my way out" creates a sense of urgency and a feeling that something violent is about to happen.
The song's chorus, "dead meat against your broken bones / Thrown in a ditch to die alone / (there is) no dream worth pursuing when / (there is) nobody embracing and / (there is) no war worth fighting when / (there is) no blood worth spilling," reinforces the idea that violence is ultimately pointless, and that there are no winners in a cycle of revenge. The final verse, "I know my hatred is pure / For the new recruit / Impostors on the fast track / To public execution," suggests that the singer has a deep-seated anger towards those who they see as unworthy or undeserving of success.
Overall, "Deth Kult Social Club" is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human psychology, and a warning about the dangers of letting anger and revenge consume us.

There is no hope for a better future when there is no support or unity, and there is no reason to fight for a cause that is not worth risking your life for.
I know my hatred is pure
For the new recruit
Impostors on the fast track

Beggars for mercy unite
But your pleas are ineffective
And if you ever come back

My hatred is directed towards those who are new to the group but are only looking to gain power and control, and they will soon face consequences. Those who plead for mercy will not receive it, and if they return, I will submit to their punishment. It is better for them to save themselves.
