Shadows Fall

[Tillius]

Well, I've been into Shadows Fall ever since I saw them with Slipknot and Lamb of God one year ago.
The thing is, I've really only listened to The War Within.

What would be some good songs to download off of other albums?

[GenuineImitation]

I only have The War Within and I like it alot. I haven't heard much else by them.

[Txus]

I never could get into this guys for some reason. I love the singers hair though :p

[Thor]

Yeah, Brian Fair's dreds are of epic proportions.

[csl316]

i really, really dislike the war within, but the art of balance is awesome. so all my songs are off that album:

definitely listen to "A Fire in Babylon." That songs's pretty epic and has a nice solo. Idle Hands, Destroyer of Sense, Stepping Outside the Circle, and Welcome to the Machine (Pink Floyd cover) are rather good, as well :thumb:

/begins downloads

[csl316]

let me know what you think of them

[GenuineImitation]

I cant picture Shadows Fall doing a Floyd cover. It must sound very different from the original.

[csl316]

they actually stay pretty close to it, but with chunky guitars and no electronics at a similar tempo. the singer doesn't growl or anything, and there's a nice mini-solo stuck in there

i was pleasantly surprised. i was blindly listening to the cd. i got to the end and remembered thinking "hmm.. this sounds familiar"

[GenuineImitation]

Thats cool. I'll pick up this cd next time im in Best Buy.

[DanD]

The Art of Balance is a badass album, its their best IMO. I don't really like their earlier stuff, and I didn't like The War Within.

Also, they actually pull off the Floyd cover really well, I must say.

[gigi666]

Download : Destroyer of senses, the idiot box, thoughts without words, deadworld, fleshold, a fire in the babylon

or just download the album "the art of balance" :)

[Shadows]

Good songs:

Somber Angel
Lead Me Home
Crushing Belial
Of One Blood
The First Noble Truth
Thoughts Without Words
Stepping Outside the Circle
A Fire in Babylon

Every album is pure gold, it all depends on what style you're looking for.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i have TWW and TAOB. now i cant wait for the fallout of the war to come! june 13th fukk yeah!

[Deth]

The Art of Balance is a great album and I like it more than TWW. I haven't heard any others, but I would certainly recommend Balance.

[Scuba_Steve]

I really like the older stuff, like somber eyes to the sky and Of One Blood.


Even though it isn't as polished as their newer music.

[Thor]

Does anyone else in here love their Welcome to the Machine cover? That's one of their songs that gets frequent play from me.

[csl316]

Does anyone else in here love their Welcome to the Machine cover? That's one of their songs that gets frequent play from me.

yes sir :thumb:

stays true to the song, but they put their own spin on it. exactly what a cover should be

[chorbalan]

I do, I allso love Ghosts of Past Failures and Those Who Cannot Speak.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i didnt know Welcome to the Machine was a cover. i thought they were all drunk when they made the lyrics to the song lol. it took me a while to get use to liking it.

[Crysiss]

Theres a reason why lyrics werent printed in the sleeve.

I like the song Lifeless

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

anyone excited for their new album "Fallout from the War"? I'll be the first to get my hands on that CD

[Shadows]

I'll buy it. I'm really excited about the new Deadworld.

[The Feeding]

both "the war within" and ''art of balance'' are geat metal albums,really influential, really can't complain about anything on them. New SF cd ''the fallout from the war'' out June 13!

[Crysiss]

anyone excited for their new album "Fallout from the War"? I'll be the first to get my hands on that CD

Fortunately, The EP is coming out pretty soon, The major label debut is coming in 2007

[i am the robots]

I like Somber Eyes to the Sky, Of One Blood (I think that's the title), and Art Of Balance, but Brian's clean vocals got very irritating on The War Within (still a good album, but not as good).

Hopefully the new album will be as good as the older stuff, however if Brian starts doing what he did to Shads in Overcast I will probably not buy the next album.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I'm not entirely excited about the EP, but I do await with intensity thier next full length......

<<<<hugely influenced by SF........

[Crysiss]

The EP will have a re-recorded version of Deadworld.

WOOO!!

[Benzum]

I purchased The War Within, and only really enjoyed in full a couple of songs :( (mainly because of the clean vocals, the riffing was still great)

But I'll be getting their next release just to see how the follow up, great band though

[Tillius]

My favorite songs on The War Within are Inspiration on Demand, Ghost of Past Failures, and Those Who Cannot Speak.
I like the whole album, but those are my favorites.

[Crysiss]

They really overused power chords in that album.

Ghost Of Past Failures is a great song, And those Who cannot Speak and The Light That Blinds

Other then that, they were all meh to me

[Benzum]

Yeah.

The extra DVD was pretty funny though, the guys demonstrating a few riffs off the album, and a drum lesson

[Tillius]

I love the INTRO to The Light That Blinds.

[Crysiss]

Yeah.

The extra DVD was pretty funny though, the guys demonstrating a few riffs off the album, and a drum lesson

I fail to see the humour in it.


The intro solo to The Light That Blinds and the tremelo picking part that follows are great as well.

Brians vocals arent showcasing his skills in that song though.

[Benzum]

I fail to see the humour in it.


I just thought I'd point it out, s'all

[gigi666]

I love the song deadworld! i can't wait for the new album and deadworold!

:D

[Crysiss]

I just thought I'd point it out, s'all

The only humour I see in it is when Jason is showing how to play TLTB.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

I liked the war within a lot. That is probably just because of the way the drums mix in with the riffs(Im a drummer).

[ToWhatEnd]

I like what I have heard from the band, mainly their newer stuff TWW and TAOB. New release should be great.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

gotta love "the first noble truth" if only for hte reet gud cheese-metal guitar break before each chorus. great band btw!

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Yeah.

The extra DVD was pretty funny though, the guys demonstrating a few riffs off the album, and a drum lesson
are you talking about the one that came with TWW or are you talking about the concert DVD the art of touring.

i dont like their concert DVD that much. terrible quality and every song is basically its own music video. they have different clips from different shows they played. that was a huge turn off for me and that stoped me from listening to SF for a while

[Shred Danson]

The "funny moments" on the DVD were great, but you're right, terrible quality. I thought it was going to be an actual DVD of a live show, not just random clips of a bunch of live shows...that doesn't turn me away from the BAND though.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

yeah. the only part i really found funny was "What do you really think about SF?" that was pretty funny with max weinberg at the end

[Crysiss]

Hi Ryan:)

Ive never seen that DVD yet, I gotta watch it:D

[Shred Danson]

yeah. the only part i really found funny was "What do you really think about SF?" that was pretty funny with max weinberg at the end

yeah, haha! I just found it funny that they randomly had Max Weinberg say how much Shadows Fall sucks, :lol:

[Crysiss]

Geez, Now I really want to see it:upset:

[Invicta_Veritas]

I don't think The Art of Touring was really worth being a release at all. I look at Lamb of God and Chimaira's DVDs, and the SF dvd just falls to waste.

[Crysiss]

Lamb Of Gods Killadelphia DVD is the best DVD I own.

It may not have the best music that everyone enjoys, sure is funny though:D

[AA-12]

Yeah, I have Killadelphia but have never watched the music, just the touring parts. Soooooo funny.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Chimaira: The Dehumanizing Process> Lamb of God: Killadelphia

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

what is the Chimaira DVD like?

[Invicta_Veritas]

Mainly just in depth about the recording process of The Impossibility of reason, and just where the band came from and thier struggles during recording and touring for TIOR. Some live clips......

[Crysiss]

Great for some serious stuff huh. I might have to buy that.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Yea, I actually watch Chimaira's DVD when I'm in need of motivation or ideas.....

[Crysiss]

Opeths DVD is great as well. That gives me inspiration too.


now the first Slipknot DVD, That was bad.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Believe it or not, Some Kind of Monster gives me motivation when I need it.....


(((motivation not to suck like that)))

But seriously, it does....


I sit and study everything Metallica could have done differently on St Anger. Learn from other's mistakes.....

[Crysiss]

Yea. True

One part that made me laugh is

Look at that, it says metlicca. We've only been together for 20 years

[Invicta_Veritas]

Yea, that's funny.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Dehumanizing Process DVD is probably my favorite, every time i watch that I go up a notch in my drumming skill just from watching Andols. I also have Killadelphia and the sh1tty art of touring dvd. I thought that was a funny dvd, but i was hoping they would have more music. Chimaira's new shi1t really is not good compared to impossibility of a reason, probably because they lost andols.

Anyone heard anything of the new SF album. I have heard In Effigy, I think it sounds good, even though it is nothing new.

[Scoot]

They're pretty good. I'd love to see them with Nevermore.

I would really like it assabeth@gmail.com Thanks dude.:thumb:

[Shadows]

It is, as they say, completely bitchin'.

[Drunken Viking]

Are you talking about Fallout From The War, I thought that was a step down from previous works.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Anyone interested in the new CD? Emails plz

I don't know if you're talking about the EP or fallout from war, but I definetly want it. sk8r74__@hotmail.com(i don't skate anymore that was made like 7 years ago, so please, no hate comments). Thanks Dude.

Thankyou Please

[Shadows]

Yes, but I don't see how people could already assume it's a step down since it isn't released for another month.

[Drunken Viking]

I got it already, and after listening to that and The War Withing back-to-back TWW blows it out of the water.

[Shadows]

That's odd. Several of the new songs are completely badass. Easily the heaviest stuff they've ever done.

[Crysiss]

Yo thats not the new album people, they already have a song called Deadworld.

Thats an EP, their major label Debut will be in 07:)

[Drunken Viking]

Well coming from you, it's kinda hard to get a good impression on it (No offence, but you are the biggest SF fanboy). I still think it's ok, but I miss the powerfull leads that were in abundance before. There are still some, but not as many. And the vocals worsened as well.\


EDIT: @ ShadowsFallen

[Shadows]

worsended :lol:

I know what you mean though. The new stuff has some amazing riffs, but I miss the lead stuff and lengthy solos they had in The Art of Balance and Of One Blood.

[Crysiss]

The Art Of Balance was a great song, Brians vocals are great and its so powerful.

EDIT: Is a great song

[Drunken Viking]

worsended :lol:
Oh, you saw that. Well ****. :mad:



I know what you mean though. The new stuff has some amazing riffs, but I miss the lead stuff and lengthy solos they had in The Art of Balance and Of One Blood.
Yeah, like you said the riffs are great, but the leads and long solos absence is really noticeable.

[Crysiss]

Oh, you saw that. Well ****. :mad:.

Id expect it to get edited by now:lol:

[Drunken Viking]

I'm sure noone will look below that post.

With that being said...


/edited.

[Crysiss]

haha, whenever your name is in a thread, I always get ads for viking helmets.

[Drunken Viking]

Haha, whenever Killa_Bees77 is in a thread I always get listen to christian music, the music of Jesus type ads. Guess why :lol:

[Crysiss]

the sevens?

[Drunken Viking]

Huh?

(I edited the post so you're probably refering to it beofre).

Poser.

/hate comment

Lol, thanks, I was hoping someone would say something like that. Anyways, if their major label debut is in '07, then what is Fallout From War?

[Crysiss]

an EP. Its a bunch of B sides I think.

Why do you think they re-recorded Deadworld.


The new album will be called The Art Of War, Yea very original. I know:)

Notice how they put their last two albums together in a title?

Art Of Balance+The War Within= The Art Of War


EDIT: WTf, My news source is ****ed up. It should be The Art Of Balance

[Shadows]

Where did you hear that? The Art of War is also the name of a Vader EP.

[Wemo]

just curious but how long does the add and album process usually take?

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Where did you hear that? The Art of War is also the name of a Vader EP.

Haven't heard too much vader, just The Beast.... any recommendations on an album to check out?

[Nepenthe]

Go with Reborn In Chaos. All of their best old stuff. For new stuff, go with Litany.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

I'll check it out, thanks dude.

[Scoot]

Anyone heard the new album? I liked it, although most of the songs weren't that long.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

im waiting till it comes out. i want it to make my summer start off good

[Cocaine]

I'm going to get the leak now. I'm not big on Shadows Fall, so this is the only way I'll hear it.

[Scoot]

Deadworld = best Shadows Fall song ever.

[msufan23]

im waiting till it comes out and am looking forward to it if i do say so myself

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

I'm going to get the leak now. I'm not big on Shadows Fall, so this is the only way I'll hear it.
it was already leaked.

EDIT: nvm i see what you mean, i read it wrong

[MetalOz]

I mistakenly thought that Shadows Fall was death metal and never really gave them a listen. bnrmetal.com has their genre as death metal. I think metal-observer was more accurate listing them as power thrash.

So I know the new album has some re-recorded old songs and some covers. Are there also new previously unreleased tracks?

[Shadows]

You mean Fallout? It has three covers, two re-recordings, and six brand new songs.

[MetalOz]

Yes, that's the one. The Dangerous Toys cover is surprisingly good. Very close to the original, probaly becasue Jason McMasters is helping out with the vocals...

[AA-12]

The cover of December is amazing. Only song I like on the new album.

[Scoot]

Deadworld and December are the two best.

[destroyer_of_senses]

new cd is called FALLOUT FROM THE WAR.
i dont think their are any re-recordings or covers i may be wrong but there are awsome songs nd some that are ehhhhhhh. i would reccomending it when it comes out.

if im wrong which songs are the covers/ re-recordings. i dont usually pay attention to the name i just listen to the music.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Read the last few pages dude, I'm pretty sure these guys would know if there are covers if they have already listened to it.

Where did all u guys get the new album?

[Scuba_Steve]

Aside from the fact that most of us have already heard it, SF had posted an announcement about this release some months back, saying the album would consist of b-sides from The War Within, a couple redone songs, a couple covers. And you should really be able to recognize the covers and redone tracks.

[trysthedrummer]

I saw Bittner at a clinic last night. Got a pic of him with me and my brother.

I might put some pics up at the weekend
