About Fall of Episteme

Fall of Episteme or FOE was formed in 2015 when bass player Søren Foged returned to Denmark after living several years in Africa. He teamed up with singer Rune M. Nielsen and were soon joined by drummer Rune B. Eskildsen and Kent B. Eskildsen on guitar. Keyboards were soon needed when Fleming K. Pedersen came on board. Flemming, Søren and Kent has a history that goes back to the prog rock band, Atlantis, formed in the Eighties. They played extensively on the club scene in Denmark and were a frequent guest on the major festival like Roskilde Festival, Midtfyns Festival and so on. Atlantis composed a lot of music and had a few tracks out on record and private releases, but most of the music remained unreleased. So as well as composing new music FOE has been digging out some of the Atlantis classics and giving them new life. Fall of Episteme draws the inspiration from many places, but a major influence has been the classic and varied prog rock sound made by famous bands like Saga, Pink Floyd, Camel, Jethro Tull and Tangerine Dream, as well as more recent acts like Ayreon, Dream Theater and Marillion. Quite a lot of tracks were composed and rehearsed, and FOE began recording in their separate studios in preparation of a debut CD. Due to personal circumstances, Søren had to withdraw from music and the band and while looking for new bass players the band intensified their work in the studio. And then finally in December 2019 Fall of Episteme released their debut album – also called Fall of Episteme In the beginning of 2017 Søren was replaced by the bass player, Jan Juel In 2022 Flemming K. Pedersen took over the vocal duties, when Rune Nielsen wanted to concentrate on other musical activities. Flemming used to be the voice in the earlier incarnation of the band, Atlantis, so that transition went flawless and work began on the epic "The Utopia Suite" which was released in may 2023 - The almost 17 minute track makes use of the bands multi instrumental abilities which includes French Horn, Flute, Cornet, Trumpet and all sorts of string instruments. Christine Hoflund Elkjær also played the Cello on the suite. Today the core of the band is; Rune Borrefjæll Eskildsen – Drums, Brass and orchestral arrangements Jan Juel – Bass and additional vocals Kent Borrefjæll Eskildsen. Guitars, flute and additional keyboards and vocals Flemming Kragh Pedersen: Keyboards and lead vocals
