Form and Fate

Form and Fate paint musical portraits that can be simultaneously beautiful and terrifying. Soaring melodies, dense harmonies, and sonic assaults are the trademark of this San Francisco quintet. The name Form and Fate was derived from the process through which a lake is born. As the definition would imply, the music is something of a tribute to the turbulent ways in which new landscapes are formed, sometimes through dramatic and violent upheaval, sometimes through the simple, slow passing of time.
