shadows fall is one of the few bands that hasnt made a single bad album. Sure their newer stuff inst as old school melodic death metal, but it still is the same formula. Of one blood, and the art of balance and incredible gothensburg-like albums, like in flames or dark tranquilllity.
Of One Blood was the 1st Shadows Fall song I heard back in early 2004, such good memories getting into the whole Massachusetts scene, they don't make em like this anymore
These guys are not Respected enough in the New wave of American Metal scene .. They are still playing shit clubs in the US while Lamb Of God is opening for Metallica at Madison Square Garden and SF is alot better imo
A little disappointing that they didn't harmonize at the end of that lead like the studio version but it was still great, I was blasting this in my car the other day and a co-worker comes up to me and is like damn dude now I wanna fight someone!
Really it is hard to beat both guitarist...Not many bands have two exceptional guitar players...Not many bands with two exceptional guitar players know how to maximize everybody's talent like Shadows Fall.
@LambertTheShpshLion Mind that they've been playing together for a very long time. They know each others strength and weakness. They know what works and what doesn't. You can't have a better combination than that.
These lives, our chosen roles. Force-fed your values and your goals! Why? (You won't see) Truth! (Unity) Bound eternally! Why? (You won't see) Truth! (Unity) Bound eternally! Forgiveness for those who stray! Protection through unity! Forgiveness for those who stray! Protection through unity! Fuckin AMAZING song! Easily one of my favorites =)
They are a very technical band thats not sloppy at all. The new album was not on century media it was on a major label. The production value is better and that is why it sounds crisper, but at the same time the major label did take them away from thier old sound.
I hope the new album has looser more sloppyish riffs like the old stuff. I think the newer stuff is way more cleaned up sounding and i really prefer the messy sound if you know wat i mean
Ill agree to some extent. First thing the old stuff was just hard hitting in your face fuck you metal. The new stuff is amazing though too. Shadows Fall went mainstream for threads only to appeal to a wider audience as a start off for the major label. From my understanding now that they have more fans they are going back to their old style. New album should be sick though.
Who ever says that brian sux is a complete idiot because he is one of the best i know live, just because he might not hit all the right notes, doesnt mean that he suck! Brian, you are awesome
im glad they didnt keep phillip then i wouldnt like ATR, but brian fair leaves alot to be desired in his vocal style. but i still like shadows fall. alot.
The way he sings it live is alot better than the original version of this song this video kicks ass. The crowd was probably calm because they weren't super big back then
That washburn jon is using is a power house. I have one too but I cant get it to sound quite the same. The crappy line 6 amp I have blows for metal. Gotta get a krank revolution like him than i'll be able to rock like this!!
herman li is great but sam is just a normal guitarist. and y did dragonforce come up on a shadows fall page? anyway shadows fall pwns most bands out there!
Just because you don't like the music doesn't mean they suck. They have more talent in guitar than most, maybe not song composition but definitely in technique.
I just bought their "Of One Blood" album a few weeks ago. it really grew on me and i started looking up some of their other stuff. god damn these guys are talented. all their songs are amazing.
This song is so fucking heavy. I love it. I wish they would write more songs like this. I still like Threads of life, still no where good as previous albums. I really want to get Of One Blood now.
Yea man Shadows Fall is one of the best bands out there today. If any of you aren't familiar with 'em, check out all their other stuff, cuz all their music kicks ass
Dude, who cares if the top rated comments are from 3 years ago? The real question should be if the music is still good...and yes it is.
