From a Second Story Window (sometimes abbreviated as FASSW) was a mathcore band that formed in 1999 as Aphasia in Ohio. By 2003, they had changed their name to From a Second Story Window.[1] The band's first EP was self-released as The Cassandra Complex in 2003. It was repackaged and re-released by Black Market Activities as Not One Word Has Been Omitted in 2004. In 2006, the band released Delenda, their first full-length album under Black Market Activities and distributed by Metal Blade[1]

After releasing Delenda, the band toured throughout North America and Europe continuously until the summer of 2007. Then they began to complete the writing of their second full-length album. Conversations was released May 27, 2008, again on Black Market Activities. They toured Europe in 2007, along with Walls of Jericho, Born from Pain, Fear My Thoughts, All Shall Perish, and Freya. On August 29, 2008, in a MySpace blog, the band announced that they had disbanded.[2]

Musical style

They have described their music for "people with Attention Deficit Disorder."[3][4]

The band's first two releases primarily featured a mix of progressive metal, mathcore, and deathcore, with AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason referring to Delenda as "deeply schizoid."[5] Conversations features a more melodic progressive metalcore and post-hardcore sound, dropping most of the mathcore and deathcore influences from previous releases.[6][7]
