THE FADING Founded in 2000 by lead vocalist Ilia Badrov (under the name Excessum), THE FADING is a melodic death/ modern death metal band based in Israel & Florida, USA. THE FADING is known for their strong live presence, as the band delivers explosive & energetic shows accompanied by technical & catchy tunes that are bound to stay with you after the first listening. In 2005 the band released its first EP- Instruction For Self Destruction. In 2007, the band released its second EP- Chaos In Flesh. In August 2008, under a lineup including Bardov (vox), Paul Mitiyanine (guitar), Arie Aranovich (guitar), Shaked Furman (drums) & Elad Manor (bass); the band played the WACKEN METAL BATTLE, at WACKEN OPEN AIR FEATIVAL and won 1st place! This was a very rare achievement for an Israeli band, as THE FADING were the second Israeli band to ever play the festival. Winning first place granted them with an international record deal with WACKEN RECORDS, sponsorship deals and offers to play different festivals across Europe. In 2009, the band recorded it debut album - In Sin We'll Find Salvation. (Studio Underground, Västerås; Sweden). The album was released on August 1st, 2009 at a special release show in WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL. In January-February 2010, the band went on it’s first European tour; the Infecting Nations Tour (with EVILE & WARBRINGER) then continued to tour the UK (with THE ROTTED & DESECRATION), Luxembourg (BANG YOUR HEAD FEST, and Israel (with THE ROTTED). In 2011 the band had it’s first headline tour of 11 shows in Ukraine, which led to the band’s biggest shows yet, supporting metal giants IN FLAMES (Kiev, Ukraine), CHILDREN OF BODOM (Tel Aviv, Israel) & ARCH ENEMY (Moscow & Saint Petersburg, Russia). In November 2010, the band released its first video for the song The Sin Collector. In 2012, Eyal Ben Shushan (Bass), Alex Zvulun (Guitar) & Ran Shenkerman (Drums) joined the band to form a new lineup, alongside Ilia Badrov (vox) and Paul Mitiyanine (guitar). In 2015, the band released its second full length album- Till Life Do Us Part (A.G. Studios, Tel Aviv Israel), followed by an animated video for the title track; Till Life Do Us Part. On the same year, THE FADING toured with metal giants FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (Moscow & St. Petersburg, Russia), BRING ME THE HORIZON (Moscow & Saint Petersburg; Russia, Minsk; Belarus, Kiev; Ukraine) and headlined the TBILISI JAM! FEST' (Tbilisi; Georgia, with VADER, DEAD BY APRIL). In 2016, the band released two more videos for Solitude Express & Chasing Time. In 2017, the band released its video for A Moment Of Insight, featuring Anneke van Giersbergen (THE GATHERING). On the same year, the band played a show with DARK TRANQUILLITY (Minsk; Belarus) & two shows with metal giants IN FLAMES (Saint Petersburg & Moscow; Russia) In 2018, Ben Shushan moved to the US and with COVID-19 that prevented from flying back and forth between continents- an unknown break was forced upon the band. In 2020, the band regrouped with the lineup of Badrov (vox), Mitiyanine (guitars) & Ben Shushan (bass & vox). New materials were written and in August 2022 the band came back with its massive single THE GREAT RESET. The song portrayed a new direction, leaning towards modern sound and atmospheric singing parts to accompany THE FADING’s catchy melodies. In February 2023, the band played a comeback show in Tel Aviv, Israel. In March 2023, the band released its second single and video in six months- THE MEAT PARADOX. Since its release, TMP surpassed the 100,000 view mark and due to its complex and fascinating animated video- it is still going strong. In April 2023, Maayan Henik was announced as the new drummer. On the same month, the band had it’s first show with the current lineup at the PsychoWard fest in Tel Aviv, Israel. THE FADING is currently working on a full length album, to be released later this year.
