The original drummer and singer were better.
If you heard their first independent cd Somber eyes to the sky you could see each album was regression. Shadows Fall also gave into the tempation of the local metal scene in massachusetts. By the way there is no metal scene around here. They had to mix in a lot of hardcore into their sound to get attention from the hardcore kids in the local scene. They should have made a name in metal nationally instead.
Local bands around here that are good...All that Remains (like shadows fall but better)
Beyond the embrace (melodic metal)
Beyond The sixth Seal (melodic)
Red Chord ( brutal death grind, I rec to fans of cryptopsy)
Upon crimson Wings ( see my metal in america thread for a link to their site) They are melodic metal
Unearth( melodic with breakdowns)
Im sure there are some I forgot.
It is almost impossible to find a local metal ban that didn't add hardcore so they could play local shows. I can appreciate the occational breakdown as godd as the next guy, but things are out of hand around here.
Metal is coming back aroundhere soon. All these hardcore kids saying metal is dead will soon jump the sinking hardcore ship and listen to metal. HArdcore may have more fans currently in Boston but it is all in change. Soon it will be cool to like metal again.
