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...

I had been asked some times why I am going to see Shadows Fall two times with only a day in between.Sometimes I'd jokingly answer, "Because I'm going to give Brian Fair (lead vocals) TWO chances to fall in love with me, and if he doesn't take it, then I'm done." (My friends know he's the ultimate rock star crush of mine:)So last night I went to the show and it was AWESOME, AMAZING, BADASS, SWEE...

Below is video of Shadows Fall on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. It’s an awesome performance of the new song “Still I Rise,” but unfortunately, it doesn’t show what might have been the best part of the show: our favorite Massholes completely destroying Fallon’s personal green room (NOT his guest green room) during [...]

Shadows Fall are always incredible live musicians. Rarely does metal sound good on television for some reason, but Jimmy Fallon’s audience probably shit a brick when these guys started up, I know I did!
