Shadows Fall anyone?

[Stephen]

Are there any Shadows Fall fans here? They are one of my favorites next to Opeth. They were actually supposed to tour with Opeth but they decided to go work on a new album instead. They kind of remind me of Opeth sometimes...with the clean/growling vocals and acoustic guitars.

 

[Heavy D]

They are one of my fav bands. I just saw them July 26th or so. Great show!

[coronerox]

Shadows Fall is fantastic, great band

 

[Super Mahrio]

theyre alright...i havent heard much of them but from what i gathered they aint too bad...

 

[Crenshaw]

I got their latest, only heard it once thougth, I think it will grow on me

 

[Morgour]

i have 'of one blood' its very boring and repetitive, the production sucks, and the guys clean vocals sound like the dude from papa roach.

good guitarists though

 

[stefan86]

Well, they dont for a second remind me of Opeth.
But they are to my liking indeed.
The Art of Balance is a great cd all through and Of One Blood has Crushing Belial.

 

[stefan86]

I like the vocalist a lot actually, hes one of the few that can handle clean vocs live these days.
Hes also got a great sense of melody in his vocs.
I like the whole package that is Shadows Fall

 

[AceRoccola]

One of my favorite bands, they are a little too hardcore(as in the genre) for some Metal fans but i love 'em. Great guitarists, the drumming(more so on Art of Balance) is awesome, and i like the vocals a lot.

Same here

 

[narcisco]

A common and yes cliched complaint about the quite brilliant Art Of Balance are the vocals. I just find them annoying enough to have the album on low rotation.
The Opeth comparison is off the mark. Maybe Exodus in particular, and Testament and Dark Angel would be more in line.
Their music reminds me of the heyday of thrash ( I am showing my age) with that necessary contemporary edge. His clean voice is great. The snarl/growl call it what you will ......shit you bastard I will have to put it on right now.

 

[UNDEROATH777]

I love Opeth, but Shadows fall is just awful in my oppinion, I bought the CD and fell asleep in the second song! Its just too repetitive, same song structure, almost nu-metal...

 

[Crenshaw]

Ah, I listened to it yesterday, and it kinda rocks, yeah

 

[Supermoi]

Its just too repetitive, same song structure

Agreed. It's the only problem I have with this band. THey'd be one of my favorites if they were a bit more imaginative.

 

[diabolical vengeance]

I`ve only heard a couple of their songs and they strike me as being basically mallcore with solos. I think they`re one of the most overrated bands in metal like dimmu, cradle, post Jester/Whoracle inflames, and post Minds I dark tranquility etc.

 

[AceRoccola]

Ok, guys i get it, bands who use conventional song structures are Nu-Mutal...fuck...i listen to a lot of Nu-Metal...

 

[mbarys]

Love them. Reminds me of the good old 80's thrash movement.

Matt

PS. We need more bands like this.

I totally agree.

And if Shadows Fall is mall-core (which it most obviously is not) I think Exodus needs to be called 80's style thrash mall core with someone who had a passing similarity to Bon Scott on vocals, or some other stupid assessment.

Shadows Fall is thrash metal. Great rhythmic thrash metal and I fuckin love it.
