Last night Shadows Fall performed the first single from their new album Retribution, due out on September 15, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It was a good performance, and I always enjoy watching audiences who don’t listen to metal try to clap along to the songs. Watch the video below!
In other Late Night news, Megadeth will be appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s show on Thursday, September 17th. That should be an awesome performance!

That’s right, it is that time of the month again for another free metal show at Fontana’s Bar (105 Eldridge St., NYC).  This time around it is the CD release party for Black Anvil, also playing is Binary Code, and a very special guest that can not be announced… believe me, you don’t want to miss this show.  To make this night even better, there will be a guest DJ set from Brian Fair of Shadows Fall.  Doors are at 8PM & it is 21+.

Once again, these free metal nights happen the first Thursday of every month at Fontana’s Bar …read more

Shadows Fall’s King of Nothing is now available to download at Windows MySpace… hurry up and grab it, as this offer ends on Wednesday, August 5th.
Frontman Brian Fair said of the track:
“This song opens with my favorite riff on the record. It came out of Matt’s late night drunken riff bag, and the song built itself around the heavy vibe that it created. It is a four minute beat down!! The lyrics of this song are about the overwhelming self-medication of our world. There is a prescription for every mood these days, and people are turning into zombies. It’s time …read more

Shadows Fall has enlisted D. Randall Blythe of Lamb of God to lend vocals to their track “King of Nothing”, the first released single from the upcoming album “Retribution”. The song gets me pumped to hear more, and I’m definitely going to be picking up their CD on September 15th.

Shadows Fall is set to release their follow up to 2007’s Threads of Life later this year. Threads’ was criticized for sounding to mainstream after it’s release on Atlantic Records, with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who has also produced bands such as The Foo Fighters, Stone Sour, Rush and Velvet Revolver. Some will argue that the band will never release another The Art Of Balance and I think it’s safe to say that too. Threads was not my favorite album but I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to their next album.
