News Shadows Fall....a bargain

[MetalHeadMarc]

hey guys, I just picked a the new shadows fall record. I'm somewhat of a fan for the guys because they do have a great live show but I was a little hesitant of the buyin another record of theirs. They have it at best buy for 7.99, so I was impressed and picked it up, turns out its the limited edition with bonus dvd wtih concert footage and lessons from the guitarists and drummer. for 8 bucks, i don't care if you like the band, thats a bargain. If you don't live near a best buy, they do have it on their website as well.

I picked up "The War Within" by Shadows Fall at Target yesterday. It was $9.99 but came with a bonus dvd and a bonus Century Media disc featuring God Forbid, The Haunted, Diecast, Heaven Shall Burn, and Stampin' Ground. I never cared for Shadows Fall before but I was hearing all this amazing stuff about it including it being metal album of the year and some even saying it is their Master of Puppets. After some hesitation I decided to buy it. I am very impressed. They truly did take a traditional metal route on this album and aside from Shadows Fall style I can hear some Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Children Of Bodom influence on here. The song "Ghost of Past Failures" even has a close to the same vibe as the song "Navigator" from the latest Edguy album Hellfire Club. This album has blown me away and I am truly truly impressed.

I preordered it a number of weeks ago, through Tower Records, usually avoid that corporate store. They had it for $10.99 & you got a free poster, the double disc & Dvd, plus a bonus booklet signed by the entire band...
It was a fucking steal man! Plus it arrived a couple of days before the actual release date. Fucking score. It's one of the best records of 2004 to boot!

By the way, if you're luck enough to score the Japanese version they do a cover of Tease 'n Please 'n with Dangerous Toys singer Jason McMaster...

 

[Funeral Portrait]

I can hear some Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Children Of Bodom influence on here.

Whow cool, I thought I was the only one who heard the CoB influence.
