Shadows Fall is an Americanmetalcore band fromSpringfield,Massachusetts, formed in 1996. Although Shadows Fall has experienced several line-up changes, for most of its recording career, Shadows Fall has been composed of guitaristsJonathan Donais andMatt Bachand, bassist Paul Romanko, lead vocalistBrian Fair and drummerJason Bittner.

Shadows Fall has released seven studio albums, three compilation albums and two DVDs. The band's first album featuredPhilip Labonte (ofAll That Remains) on lead vocals, but he was soon replaced by Fair. Shadows Fall's first two studio albums featured David Germain playing drums; however, in 2002, Bittner joined the band full-time. In February 2008, the band was aGrammy Award nominee in the categoryBest Metal Performance for the song "Redemption" from the albumThreads of Life. Their most recent studio albumFire from the Sky was released on May 15, 2012 and was the first to be produced byAdam Dutkiewicz since the band's first studio release.

Shadows Fall announced in August 2014 that they were going to go on an indefinite hiatus, and by the following summer, they had wrapped up what was planned to be their farewell tour.[2][3] The band reunited for its first show in six years in December 2021 in their native Massachusetts,[4] and discussed the possibility of recording new material.[5] In 2024, they released new material for the first time in twelve years, with a single titled "In the Grey."[6]

History

[edit]

Formation andSomber Eyes to the Sky (1996–1997)

[edit]

Shadows Fall was formed in 1996 by guitaristsJonathan Donais andMatt Bachand, who were good friends from the local music scene.[7] Bachand had previously been a founding member of a death metal band and Donais a member of the metalcore bandAftershock. Later on, the band found a complete lineup with the addition of Damien McPherson (vocals), Mark Laliberte (bass), and David Germain (drums). Also in 1996,Adam Dutkiewicz performed live drums to fill in for Germain.[8] By late 1996, the band recorded and released a demo titledMourning a Dead World, of which only about 200 copies were produced.[7] It consisted of the songs Lifeless, Suffer the Season, Fleshold, Forever Lost, A Souls Salvation, and Deadworld. McPherson decided to leave the band and was replaced byPhilip Labonte in 1997. Around the same time, bass guitarist Paul Romanko, formally of the hardcore band Pushbutton Warfare, was recruited as a permanent replacement for Laliberte, who had originally joined temporarily.[7][9] Now with a more solid lineup, the band released its first EP,To Ashes, with Dutkiewicz playing as a session drummer. The band's name, according to Bachand, comes from the title of a comic book published in the early 1990s.[10]

Shadows Fall toured the New England area opening for artists such asFear Factory andCannibal Corpse.[11] On November 30, 1997, the band released its first studio albumSomber Eyes to the Sky through Bachand's recording label, Lifeless Records.[12]

Of One Blood (1998–2000)

[edit]

In 1998, Labonte was asked to leave the band due to personal and artistic differences.[13] He had ideas for a side project while a member of the band and went on to formAll That Remains.[14][15] The band searched for a replacement vocalist and eventually recruitedMilford, Massachusetts nativeBrian Fair fromOvercast.[16] The band had been friends with Fair for years.[7] After a US Summer tour withShai Hulud, Overcast disbanded—and the band asked Fair to join Shadows Fall.[11]

In a 2007 interview withBlabbermouth.net Labonte commented on his departure from the band stating

What happened was Brian [Fair], who is their current singer, the band that he was in broke up. I didn't sound like Brian, and when he became available, they were like, "Look, we want to get another singer. We want to get Brian." I was like, "Okay. Cool." There's no hard feelings or anything like that 'cause I knew it was the dude they had in mind in the first place and also I had already started writing stuff for All That Remains.[17]

While on tour, Shadows Fall was signed toCentury Media Records. The band recorded its second studio albumOf One Blood with Fair on vocals in 2000, and the release included re-recorded songs fromSomber Eyes to the Sky. That same year, the group started to tour heavily for the first time and took part in the “International Extreme Music Festival” tour.[18] In 2001, David Germain decided to leave the band due to alcoholism, and was replaced by former Stigmata and Burning Human drummerJason Bittner.[11][19]

The Art of Balance (2001–2003)

[edit]

Due to repeated comparisons withGothenburg melodic death metal bands, Shadows Fall decided to change its style.[20] Inspired by morethrash,hard rock andpower ballad influences, the band recorded its third studio album, titledThe Art of Balance.[21] Released on September 17, 2002, the album peaked at number 15 on theBillboard Top Independent albums chart.[22] Shadows Fall released three music videos to promote the album; "Thoughts Without Words", "Destroyer of Senses", and "The Idiot Box".[23]The Art of Balance featured a cover of thePink Floyd song "Welcome to the Machine." Andy Hinds ofAllMusic stated the album is "a modern heavy metal album that is both brutal and highly musical, traditional yet forward-thinking", but criticized the placement of "Welcome to the Machine", stating the song "is stylishly well-executed, but seems a tad out of place nonetheless."[24] Shadows Fall supportedThe Art of Balance by touring onOzzfest in 2003.[25] Later that same year, they co-headlined the “MTV2Headbangers Ball” tour alongsideKillswitch Engage andLamb of God.[26]The Art of Balance helped gain the band their first bit of notoriety, and during this period the group was named one of Top Five Bands in Metal Today byAlternative Press, also being voted Best New Talent in aRevolver readers poll beating out bothEvanescence andLamb of God.[27]

The War Within (2004–2006)

[edit]

The band were selected to headline the first Strhess tour in early 2004.[28] Shadows Fall then released its fourth studio albumThe War Within on September 21, 2004. It was the first release to enter theBillboard 200 for the band at number 20 and peaked at number one on the Top Independent albums chart.[22] In promotion for the album, Shadows Fall released four music videos over the course of one year; "The Power of I and I", "What Drives the Weak", "Inspiration on Demand", and "Enlightened By the Cold".[23] The song "What Drives the Weak" garnered the band their firstGrammy Award nomination forBest Metal Performance in 2006 at the48th Annual Grammy Awards, though the award went toSlipknot for the song "Before I Forget".[29] "The Light That Blinds" was featured in the video gameGuitar Hero II. Wade Kergan of AllMusic praised the album stating the band has "grown beyond the confines of the metal-loving hardcore crowd anyway, with more in common now with the classic thrash ofMetallica than the metal-tinged hardcore ofCoalesce".[30] A reviewer for Ultimate Guitar game the album a 10/10 stating “This album in one day changed the way that I personally look at metal. I knew this record had potential to be great and I was right.”[31] Later that year, they embarked on a tour alongsideDamageplan in support of theThe War Within.[32] In 2005, the band once again performed on Ozzfest, but this time as a mainstage act.[33]

Shadows Fall released its first DVDThe Art of Touring in November 2005. The DVD included a live concert, backstage footage, and six music videos.[34] The band released its final release on Century Media Records, titledFallout from the War on June 13, 2006. Released as acompilation album, it debuted at number 83 on the Billboard 200.Fallout from the War included tracks recorded forThe War Within that did not make it on to the album,B-sides, re-recordings, andcover songs. David Jeffries of AllMusic claimed the album is "a great informal introduction to the ferocious and melodic witches' brew Shadows Fall always seems to nail."[35] They then headlined the Strhess tour once again withPoison The Well providing support.[28]

During this time Shadows Fall were also invited toWWE headquarters to rework entrance theme song of WWE superstarRob Van Dam, titled Fury of the Storm. Van Dam never used the song however it did appear on theWWE Wreckless Intent album.[36][37] They also contributed to theGod of War II Official Soundtrack with the song "Blood of Destiny.”

Threads of Life (2007–2008)

[edit]

Shadows Fall signed a deal withAtlantic Records to distribute the band's albums in the United States and a deal withRoadrunner Records for international distribution.[10] The band released its fifth studio albumThreads of Life on April 3, 2007 and debuted at number 46 on the Billboard 200. "Redemption", the first single from the CD was released on February 20, 2007, throughiTunes with an accompanying music video.[38] "Redemption" received the band’s second Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal performance at50th Annual Grammy Awards,[39] butSlayer's "Final Six" won the award. The album received positive reviews, with Thom Jurek of AllMusic stating Shadows Fall has "lost none of the fire, attack or attitude" onThreads of Life. Jurek also said the album featured "killer guitar breaks, big fat chugging riffs, power-slam skin work, cattle prod bass, and cool little hooks and melodic touches on top of those bludgeoning riffs makeThreads of Life a major label debut of merit, and a metal record worthy of celebrating."[40] Keith Bergman ofBlabbermouth.net stated "Threads of Life is slick as hell."[41]

Shadows Fall toured in support ofThreads of Life, including making appearances at theJägermeister tour withStone Sour andLacuna Coil,[42] the Operation Annihilation tour withStatic-X,3 Inches of Blood, andDivine Heresy,[43] and the Black Crusade tour withTrivium,Machine Head,DragonForce, andArch Enemy.[44] The band was a part of the Soundwave tour in Australia and in Asia in February 2008, along withKillswitch Engage,As I Lay Dying, andBleeding Through.[45]

Retribution (2009–2011)

[edit]

Shadows Fall released their sixth studio albumRetribution on September 15, 2009, through the band's own label, Everblack Industries, which was created in conjunction withWarner Music Group's ILG,Ferret Music and ChannelZERO Entertainment. It was released in the UK viaSpinefarm Records. The album was produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris. Drummer Jason Bittner stated about the band's new material, "The songs are a little more on the darker, angry side... lots of heaviness, lots of crazy guitar, and LOTS of room for me to have some fun. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be the best performance of my career, so far, and I owe that to my guys for bringing me incredible riffs to write killer drum parts to."[citation needed] The album debuted at number 34 on the Billboard 200 and 3 on the Hard Rock Charts. The album was met with positive reception; Greg Parto from AllMusic praised the guitar and stated “Shadows Fall have made quite the roaring return with Retribution.”[46] During the fall of 2009 the band was appearing on the 'Shock & Raw' tour of North America with2Cents,Otep &Five Finger Death Punch. After a South American tour, Shadows Fall performed on the Jägermeister Stage in the2010 Rockstar Mayhem Festival in July and August 2010, as well as supportingLamb of God.[47] Shadows Fall released a live CD/DVD,Madness in Manila: Shadows Fall Live in the Philippines 2009, on October 26.[48]

Fire from the Sky, final tours and hiatus (2012–2020)

[edit]

In late 2011, Shadows Fall entered the studio to begin recording their seventh studio album. While in the studio, they held live video streams to discuss the progress of the album and answer questions from fans. It was the first to be produced byAdam Dutkiewicz since the band's original studio releaseSomber Eyes to the Sky.Fire from the Sky was released on May 15, 2012 throughRazor & Tie. Many of the lyrics touched upon theapocalypse, inspired by the end of theMayan calendar in 2012.[49] The album debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200 and was met with positive reception. J. Andrew, writing forMetal Injection, said “this album probably has the best mix of vocal styles of any Shadows Fall release.”[50]Revolver Magazine added “Fire From the Sky is suitably heavy, grim but not ridiculous, and its best songs will remind listeners of Metallica."[51] In late 2012, the band headlined theParty To The Apocalypse 2012 tour withGod Forbid starring Shadows Fall,God Forbid,Thy Will Be Done and Trumpet The Harlot.[52] On January 11, 2013, it was announced that guitarist Jonathan Donais would be joiningAnthrax on their upcoming Metal Alliance Tour[53] and on August 13, Donais was confirmed as a full Anthrax member.

Matt Bachand, 2014

On June 28, 2014, Shadows Fall performed with the bandsBlack Fast,Dead by Wednesday, Hallow Point, and Gray's Divide inSt. Louis, Missouri.[54] On August 25, the band announced several final tours to take place in Europe and North America so the band could take a hiatus from future extensive touring. This farewell tour lasted into the summer of 2015.[2][3] In December 2014, it was announced drummer Jason Bittner would join Arizona thrash metal bandFlotsam and Jetsam, and he is currently the drummer forOverkill. Guitarist Matt Bachand left to joinAct of Defiance, along with the former members ofMegadeth.[55] During the bands hiatus Matt Bachand played guitar for the American metal band Living Wreckage with former Shadows Fall guitarist Jon Donais.

Reunion (2021–present)

[edit]

In a May 2021 interview on theWho's Your Band? music podcast, drummerJason Bittner revealed that Shadows Fall had "tried to get together last year for a reunion", and they were planning to play one of their first shows in over half a decade at theWorcester Palladium. He also commented on the possibility of new material and further band activity: "We're not gonna say we're still gonna be on hiatus, but we're not gonna say we're active either. We wanna just try to play a show. That's the point of right now [...] We've already talked about this — we said, if anything, we would write an EP first. We wouldn't write a full-length; we'd probably just four-song increments or something."[56]

On June 22, 2021, Brian Fair confirmed that Shadows Fall were reuniting for their first show in over half a decade at theWorcester Palladium on December 18. Supporting acts for this show wereUnearth,Darkest Hour,Within the Ruins,Sworn Enemy and Carnivora.[4] In December 2021, when asked by the Podioslave Podcast[57] if there will be new music from Shadows Fall, Fair said the band had talked about it, but they had not written any new material. They wanted to focus on their reunion show and issues with Fair's neck.[5]

In 2023, they played a couple of shows, including a set at theNew England Metal & Hardcore Festival which hadn’t been held the previous 5 years.[58] That same year Brain Fair stated in an interview withBlabbermouth.net that the band was working on new material.[59]

On March 16, 2024, the band played the first of special one-off show in New Jersey in celebration of their albumThe War Within 20th anniversary.[60] They then played an additional anniversary show at the Worcester Palladium in December.[61] On December On December 6, 2024, the band released a new single titled "In the Grey."[6]

In May of 2025, they released another new single “Souls Devoured” and supported Killswitch Engage on a short tour.[62][63] Later that same year, the band was honored by SpringfieldMayor Domenic Sarno, who declared July 18, 2025 "Shadows Fall Day".[64] The proclamation ceremony took place before the band’s set at theMassMutual Center, where they opened forLamb of God. During their set, Brian Fair held up the proclamation during their show, thanking the community for the recognition.[65] In August of that same year, the band started recording the back end of their new album with drummer Jason Bittner, stating they are hoping to get it done by the end of the year.[66]

Musical style

[edit]

Shadows Fall has been described asmetalcore,[67][68]melodic death metal[69] andthrash metal.[70][71][72] Their songs often alternate between heavier, aggressive passages, and more melodic or slower interludes,[73][74] using both harsh and clean/melodic vocals.[73]

Tom Murphy ofWestword opines that "Shadows Fall began as a melodic death-metal band with some roots inhardcore", and noted that on the 2002 albumThe Art of Balance, the band started to incorporate thrash metal into their sound.[69]

Some of Shadows Fall's lyrics touch upon internal struggle, spirituality, politics and personal topics.[75] Brain Fair has often stated that the music (riffs, tempo, style) sets the vibe that lets lyrics go in a certain direction. For example, onFire From the Sky, he mentions the music had an eerie dark vibe, so the lyrics followed.[76] They have citedCarcass,Testament, seventies-Aerosmith,Integrity and theCro-Mags as some of their inspirations.[36] In a 2024 interview, Fair stated:

The cool thing with Shadows Fall is we would share a lot of influences, but everyone was really eclectic in what they listened to individually, so we’d start from a bedrock of that kind of sound, but everyone was bringing in weird ideas out of nowhere. Like I would know a lyric was fully influenced by The Smiths, but you never would hear it in the song, but I knew where it came from.[77]
