Everything I Touch Falls To Pieces is the debut full length album from influential Chicago-based metalcore band Dead to Fall. The band shows a style in the vein of Swedish-influenced melodic death metal. The album's general theme deals with personal struggle and conflict with a loved one, often due to betrayal. The album is said to resemble the music of "At The Gates, The Haunted, with a touch of Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall being added to the mix".

Miscellanea

• The song Tu Se Morta is a translated cover of a song from L'Orpheo by Claudio Monteverdi.
• The song Eternal Gates of Hell is actually about a moment the band had at a toll booth where the attendant actually said "...and then I saw the blood coming." The "Carnage" and "Demise" parts were added because they thought it sounded cool.
• Parts of the song Doraematu are an altered form of the Anonymous Spanish classical guitar work Romanza
