LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Shadows Fall may be the latest hard rock band to jump from the indie world into the major label system, but breaking out of the metal genre and winning a mainstream fan base won't be easy.Bands like Mastodon on Reprise and Lamb of God on Columbia may have had their largest debut weeks of their career when they joined the major label ranks, but sales, while respectable,...
With their short lived experience with the majors behind them, on September 15 Shadows Fall released Retribution, their latest record, first through their own Everblack Industries.Retribution features a very heterogeneous blend of hard rock, groove, death and thrash with a few acoustic moments that makes for a very interesting deliver.

I have assessed the situation, and I have come to a conclusion about today's metal bands. Not necessarily the bands that have been around for years, but these new generation of bands (Atreyu, All That Remains...just to name a couple). They all sound the same. The vocals, the guitars, the drums and the videos. I have always felt that labels would sign up any band just to "compete" with the r...
It'd be cool if MOG had a radio station. Use every last MOGger's collection of music and just play it while you type. Mix it up or something. That'd be cool.
Saw Shadows Fall at the Nokia last night. Great band. I know "metalcore" is more or less reviled among any metal fans with taste (and rightly so), but these days SF are more reminiscent of vintage Metallica/Slayer/Anthrax to me. Not that they're rip off artists or a rehash/nostalgia act, more like an in-the-same-spirit update on that sound. All the best elements of vintage thrash are there- bre...
To many fans around the world, Brian Fair is known as the charismatic front man for Shadows Fall, one of the most successful metal bands of their generation. What younger fans might not realize is that Fair actually got his start as the singer Massachusetts metalcore pioneers Overcast. Every subgenre of metal has an Overcast [...]
So I've been listening to the new Shadows Fall record, _Threads of Life_ in my car. I like it a lot better than when I first listened and thought it was okay. Now it's keeping me asskicking company during my lonely drives.There's this ballad on it called "Another Hero Lost." It's an all clean-vocal track written about lead singer Brian Fair's cousin who died in the war.So I'd listened to the CD...

Jon Donais of Shadows Fall...the man.Couldn't tell ya why, I just love it. The beginning part of the solo makes me think of John 5. I just can't wrap my mind around this!
What the...?So is it time for me to start feeling old now? An actual modern band I've been a fan of releases a Greatest Hits... WEIRD.I don't even know what the track listing is. Doesn't show it on Amazon. My computer is too bitchy right now for me to want to look it up elsewhere.
