During January 2006, a couple of guys all got together and formed the final chapter in the band Atavistic. After playing writing a few songs and playing a couple shows, some personal problems began to develop inside the band and Atavistic became no more. Out from the shadow of the old band sprang up a new band with an entirely different sound. For the Fallen officially started in October 2006. Things began to progress very quickly. Within a month and a half of the band's beginning, they were getting shows from venues Atavistic had never been able to book. As the band continues to become more and more aggressive, the doors of oppertunity open faster and faster. Today, For the Fallen continues to expand it's influence.
