Rooted in melodic death metal, FALSIMONIAN began as the brainchild of Jesus Fuentes and Erick Valverde in 2024, who welcomed Cesar and Mauricio in 2025 completing the band's line-up. Their sound is unique to the members' life experiences as bi-cultural individuals hailing from the harsh desert in the US-Mexico border.
With members based out of El Paso, Texas, USA; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA; and Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, FALSIMONIAN incorporate genre influences from Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as jazz. Musically, the band draw inspiration from metal acts including OPETH, DARK TRANQUILLITY, DREAM THEATER, CHILDREN OF BODOM, and BORN OF OSIRIS.
FALSIMONIAN take their name from the Latin word "falsimonia", meaning: trick, imposition, deception. Situated in a fictitious dystopian world, the forthcoming EP explores the mundane daily realities of survival in the midst of dark times of war, hate and manipulation.
