We are Failure in Vanity; a 5 piece metal band from Toms River NJ. We are heavily influenced by a wide variety of music including every genre/sub-genre from rock to death-metal. We are not the type of band that aims to mold ourselves to a specific genre. We all come from different backgrounds and we all have different preferences and influences on what we would like to contribute to our music as individuals. As a band we aim to create music that we can all enjoy, whether its the heaviest of the heavy or lightest of the light we thrive on pushing ourselves to make the best music we are capable of producing. Our debut EP, Threnody for the Misfortunate, released in February 2010 is an accumulation of music and ideas that were originally written by Ray Frusco, Nick DeRosa, Mike Gyenes, Dave Brennan, and Steve Loland over a few years time. Threnody for the Misfortunate is something that we all consider to be the beginning of something amazing... the beginning of bigger and better things to come! While we hope you enjoy our debut EP release, we are all very excited to launch our new and future material (already in progress) with our newest members James Allan (Vocals) and (drummer) Mike Pollaro. Now together and complete, this 5 piece unit is headed full speed into the NJ music scene! We all look forward to sharing our passion and hope to see you all very soon! Take a listen and throw us some feed back!
