After six weeks on the West Coast recording the new album 'THREADS OF LIFE' with Nick Raskulinecz at Studio 606, we have moved the base of operations to Planet Z in western MA with Zeus to finish mixing. I am incredibly excited about the way this record is coming along.
Nick help us to push our performances to new heights and experiment a lot more with vocal harmonies and guitar layers that have really added new dimensions to these songs. Zeus is really bring out the energy and nuances of the recording and really bringing our sound to a new level. As a producer and mixer, Nick and Zeus have formed like Voltron to create a friggin monster! We are going to be mastering soon and hopefully have this record near completion by the holidays. Sonically, 'THREADS OF LIFE' is a true culmination of all of our common influences as a band and is the most complete picture of the Shadows Fall sound to date. We looked at this record as a full album that has a real ebb and flow throughout, covering a vide variety of emotions and levels of intensity. There are the full on thrash tunes, just balls out and metal, some technical shred tunes that Jon and Jason really pushed their playing on and some acoustic melodic moments that offer a nice contrast to the more brutal moments. We tried to make 'THREADS OF LIFE' as complete a metal record as possible. The album will hopefully be out early spring of 2007 and we plan on touring the world for awhile after it's release. We are really looking forward to getting back on the road and hitting all the spots that we have not been able to reach on the last few tours.
With all of this time off from performing live, we will be hitting the stage hard will full strength and a lot of pent up energy!! We hope to see you all out on the road when Shadows Fall comes to town with new tunes to rock and partying on our mind. Keep an eye out for 'The Making of THREADS OF LIFE' video updates and more news coming at ya!! Hope to see you all soon!!

To summarize, the new album is predicted to really combine all of what Shadows Fall is about. The new songs are balls-to-the-wall thrash metal and obnoxiously technical, yet not without the melodies and soft moments that make up the Shadows Fall sound. The instrumentation has been pushed to the max and now it's up to Nick (Atlantic Records) and Zeus (Planet Z Studios) to mix the now completed recordings. All should be compelted around Christmastime and the band hopes to have the album released by spring of 2007.

So, that's where your username came from.
Cool, I suppose. I don't really listen to these guys.

These guys are gooooooooood.

This should be good. I'm excited about this.

Really looking forward to this. The last album was good, but there were times I thought it could have been better. Regadless, they've yet to make a bad album and with the descriptions they're giving, it sounds awesome.

I cant wait to here this. The War Within was a fantastic album.

I'm very excited about this. I thought my love of Shadows Fall was really fading until I read the descriptions of the new stuff. With the exception of Fallout From the War, I have yet to hear Shadows Fall that was anything less than amazing, and I doubt this will be an exception.

Ridiculously good band live, and on record. The Art Of Balance is one of my favorite metal records ever and The War Within was almost as good. This one is going to rip, trust that.

I can't wait! Shadows Fall are what metal is all about.
| | |
I met Shadows Fall!!
Hope this is good.

I'm so excited for this.
Fallout from the War wasn't anything too hot, but again, it was exactly what it says, fallout from The War Within.

hope this is good
