The origins of Fallen Fortress trace back to an adolescence filled with friendships and heavy metal. In 2004, Daniel Delgado (drummer) joined Tomás Guerrero (guitarist) and Diego Quiroz (guitarist/vocalist) to record an EP full of black metal titled Earthly Purgatory (2006), under the name Fallen Fortress.
After a six-year hiatus, ending in 2020 the band decided to pick up where they left off, starting to compose what would become their latest release, At the Heart of Emptiness (2025), with the addition of the band’s current bassist, Christopher Oros (ex-Warchest /Ground Meat).
The album is filled with emotion and, despite the complications brought on by COVID-19 and geographic barriers, it finally sees the light of day thanks again to the production of JT García. With a sound steeped in black/death metal, this album aims to propel the band to make its mark on the current Chilean metal scene and help show that Chile is a country of metal.
