Shadows Fall is an American heavy metal band from Springfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1995. Although the band has experienced several line-up changes, for most of its recording career, Shadows Fall has been composed of Brian Fair (vocals), Jonathan Donais (lead guitar), Matt Bachand (rhythm guitar), Paul Romanko (bass), and Jason Bittner (drums).
Shadows Fall have released seven studio albums, two compilation albums, and two DVDs. The band's first album featured Philip Labonte (of All That Remains) on vocals, although he was soon replaced by Fair. Shadows Fall's first two studio albums featured David Germain playing drums, but in 2002, Bittner joined the band full-time. In February 2008, the band was a Grammy Award nominee in the category Best Metal Performance for the song "Redemption" off the album Threads of Life. In late 2011, the band entered the studio to begin recording their latest studio album. The album, Fire From the Sky, was released on May 15, 2012, and is the first to be produced by Adam Dutkiewicz since the band's first studio release.
Fire from the Sky is the seventh and most recent studio album by American heavy metal band Shadows Fall. The album was released on May 15, 2012. The album debuted at position no. 38 on the Billboard 200. It also debuted at number 85 in Canada.~ Wiki
Shadows Fall alienated some fans with 2007's Threads of Life. They'd signed to Atlantic and brought the hooks and melodies – always part of their inherent approach – to the fore with a production style that was very close to the mainstream's idea of metal. While it sold in decent numbers, charted, and was hotly debated by fans and critics, it wasn't enough to keep Atlantic interested. The band formed their own label, Everblack Industries, for 2009's Retribution, which was a step back into their trademarked vein of thrash metal, and won back many fans they'd temporarily lost. Fire from the Sky finds them on yet another label, this time Razor & Tie. Produced by longtime pal Killswitch Engage/Times of Grace guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, it's harder and heavier than Retribution, but the production is near crystalline. Brian Fair's vocals are right up front and you can hear every word. Thankfully, he's one of the better lyricists in metal. Here he examines spiritual, philosophical, and rhetorical questions that continually focus on the nature and meaning of life in the face of certain death – while grim, these are wide open ideas; Shadows Fall have never been a "devil's" metal band. Opener "The Unknown" contains killer guitar arpeggios and a punishing bass throb, as well as the more proggy yet melodic bridges. The intricate yet fiery guitar and drum interplay on "Weight of the World" opens with Fair's direct charge: "Haunted/by the life you wanted/ The end is near/The end is what you fear." Between the shouted, growled, and sung vocals, the riffage of Jon Donais (lead guitar) and Matt Bachand (vocals, guitar) is angry and accusatory but nonetheless prompts existential questions, and while Fair may seem to simply laugh at its subject, it's far more complex than that. The sheer fury of the interplay between bassist Paul Romanko and drummer Jason Bittner (one of the best rhythm sections in modern metal) takes the cut over the rails and into the red. "Save Your Soul" could be early Metallica with its chug and stomp. The machine-gun drums and dual leads that introduce "Lost Within" make it an irresistible choice. Closer "The Wasteland" carries Fire from the Sky careening into the abyss on the hot coals of doubt. This is another step into the sonic and lyric terrain plowed on Retribution, but one in which SF's aggressive, thrashing abandon, musical sophistication, and melodies co-exist in near perfect balance.~ Thom Jurek, All Music
