Shadows Fall is unquestionably among the most potent music forces in modern metal, melding full-on thrash power with melodic, pulverizing hooks. In its first decade in existence, the band has blazed an extraordinary trail, earning a 2006 Grammy Awards nomination for "Best Metal Performance," reaping critical acclaim from metal mainstream and hardcore underground alike, and touring the planet nearly non-stop (including an ecstatically received mainstage run on 2005's Ozzfest).
The Springfield, Massachusetts-based five-piece is currently featured on the cover of two prestigious publications, Revolver and Outburn. Other upcoming press includes features in Decibel, Guitar World, and an additional cover appearance on a future issue of Metal Maniacs.
