Biography

Edit

Shadows Fall is an American metal band formed in 1995. The current line-up is Jonathan Donais (guitar), Matt Bachand (guitar) - founding members -- with Brian Fair (vocals), Paul Romanko (bass) and Jason Bittner (drums).

Somber Eyes to the Sky (1997) was their debut album, released on Blanchard's record label Lifeless Records. It gained sufficient following to lead to them signing with Century Media Records. Century released their second album Of One Blood (2000) but that album saw the departure of their original vocalist Philip Labonte (who moved on to All That Remains). Fair replaced him.

Third album The Art of Balance (2002) marked a change of style from melodic death metal to thrash. It peaked at No.17 in the US Billboard charts and earned a Grammy nomination for the track, "What Drives the Weak". The band undertook a successful Ozzfest tour in 2003 which led to appearances at Beast Fest and the Headbanger's Ball and by 2004's The War Within, the band were receiving a lot of positive commentary in the metal press.

Fallout from the War (2006) was a hybrid of re-recorded early tracks and new material. This was followed by their first release with Atlantic Records, Threads of Life (2007). Their most recent release has been Seeking the Way: The Greatest Hits, released in October 07.
