Formation and first album
All That Was Never True was formed in the summer of 2023 when Lukas and Justus met in the precursory band. However, things quickly took shape when Jim joined in February of 2024 and the speed at which the band grew was astronomical. Demos now had explosive vocals, guiding a path for the rest of the band to be inspired and refine the demos, leading to a higher productivity. It did not take long for the band to settle upon its first theme, which would eventually become the first album. Not long after, the name 'All That Was Never True' was adopted after a spending a weekend writing music together.
This first album is a collection of songs created over the past year and a half. It is a carefully chosen arrangement that each highlights an element from the fictional world of the album. From a cinematic angle, we look at various philosophical thoughts and melodies about what it means to be human when technology takes over. Despite the fact that the genre of metalcore often enough produces fairly harsh music, many of the songs contain a warmth and sensitivity not often found in metalcore. In the process, this unique approach accentuates the cinematic aspect of the music, allowing the entire album to tell a story. Both lyrically and melodically.
