Madfly was a glam rock ensemble originating from Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States, established in 1996. The band featured William DuVall on vocals and guitar, Nico Constantine handling guitar duties, Jeffrey Blount on bass, and Bevan Davies playing drums. They produced two studio albums, Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black, before changing their name to Comes with the Fall following Blount's exit in 1999.
Origins, Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black (1996–1998)
After his tenure with No Walls, William DuVall sought to alter his artistic direction by creating Madfly, a glam-pop outfit characterized by an extravagant style that diverged significantly from his earlier projects. This marked DuVall’s initial role concentrating exclusively on lead vocals during performances, adopting a striking stage presence complete with vibrant costumes and body paint.
The group’s first album, Get the Silver, was launched in late 1996. Two years later, they followed up with White Hot in the Black, which shared similar cover art with their debut but contained fewer tracks, half of which were selections from their previous release.
Transition to Comes with the Fall (1999–present)
Following bassist Jeffrey Blount’s departure due to health concerns, Adam Stanger stepped in as his replacement, coinciding with the band’s rebranding as Comes with the Fall. DuVall expressed that this change allowed him to concentrate more on guitar work and embrace a darker, more intense sound, influenced by personal experience and heartfelt songwriting.
Between August and October, Comes with the Fall recorded their self-titled album over an eight-week period before relocating to Los Angeles, California in February 2000.
