Daniel Laskiewicz

Daniel Laskiewicz — American musician — is part of Falling in Reverse, and his path crosses two extremes of American heavy rock. He built a reputation in The Acacia Strain, an extreme metal band known for low tunings, slow tempos and a weight built on repetition and density — a repertoire of aggression without melodic concession, aimed at a restricted and devoted audience. Falling in Reverse is the opposite of that. Ronnie Radke's band combines metalcore, rap, electronic pop and ballad within the same tracks, with changes of register that come without preparation, and reaches a mass audience precisely through its refusal to settle in a genre. Moving from one context to the other means abandoning the vocabulary of constant weight and working in a format where the foundation changes character with every section. Laskiewicz also works as a producer and songwriter for other bands of the circuit, an activity that explains his capacity to move between such distant aesthetics — studio work applied to repertoires demanding opposite choices.
