Symphonies is the second EP by American rock band In Fear and Faith. It consists of symphonic orchestral renditions of some of the group's best known songs with a guest vocalist included on nearly every track. It was released on May 3, 2011 through Rise Records.[1][2][3][4]
Background[edit]
The planning and idea for Symphonies began during 2011. Guest vocalists were confirmed to be included on most of the tracks shortly after the leak for "The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions" which features Craig Owens.
Due to unclean vocalist, Cody Anderson's departure from the band in 2010,[5] Scott Barnes performs both vocal duties (singing and screaming) on the EP. This release is the first by the band not to employ dual vocalists (other than their demo) as they have been known to feature since their success.[6]
