We Are The Fallen testing "Bury Me Alive" on HitPredictor
There was a big hoopla surrounding Carly Smithson and ex-members of Evanescence with the announcement of a new collaboration through the formation of a new band, We Are The Fallen, in late June. Although things have cooled off since the announcement, the band has still been posting regularly on its official Facebook fan page.
One thing the band stated back when the announcement was made was that they would be taking a nontraditional approach in releasing music. Instead of recording a bunch of songs and then releasing an album, they are going to release songs as singles every so often and then create a compilation out of the singles in the form of an album. But when it comes to the band's first single "Bury Me Alive," not much has been happening with the song since it was put on its official music MySpace page and made available as a free download to the first 100,000 fans. It did, however, appear on the music testing site HitPredictor.com (formerly Promosquad.com), which signals that the band might be interested in sending the single to radio.
The only question is, which format is being targeted here? The mystery will continue to unravel.
