BRIAN FAIR: SHADOWS FALL Has Talked About Working On New Music

SHADOWS FALL , the Massachusetts metal band which was at the forefront of the New Wave of American Metal scene that dominated the '00s, reunited to play a one-off show on December 18, 2021 at The Palladium in Worcester in their native Massachusetts. Also appearing on the bill were UNEARTH , DARKEST HOUR , WITHIN THE RUINS , SWORN ENEMY and CARNIVORA .

In a new interview with the Podioslave Podcast , conducted just days after the reunion gig, SHADOWS FALL singer Brian Fair stated about the comeback performance (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET ): "It was insane, man. It couldn't have gone any better than we could have hoped for. It was a long time coming. We sort of fizzled out as far as we never had a last big show to kind of head off into the sunset. We still all loved making music together, we all still loved playing shows, but life was just getting in the way. I was about to have my second kid; Paul [ Romanko , bass] had already had a kid. It was just getting tough, so we sort of fizzled out. So, over the last few years, we would kind of, every now and then, just float the idea of, like, 'Yeah, we should probably play a show.' But then at five years, we were, like, 'All right. It's been long enough. We really wanna do this.' And we had a date, and we were all systems go, and then COVID happened. Literally, we were gonna announce probably three weeks before the world shut down. Thankfully, we didn't, so we could kind of just, like, 'All right…' It's not like we had to announce it and then retract. And it gave us some more time to really think about what we wanted to do.

"The key was for us we weren't trying to do like a quick throw-and-go, make-some-money-and-just-disappear thing," he explained. "We were, like, 'We want a sick bill that makes sense.' So once we got SWORN ENEMY , DARKEST HOUR and UNEARTH to sign on, we were, like, 'All right. That's where we wanna start. We want bands that make sense that are our crew.' And then we also wanted to get some local, kind of younger bands. Matt [ Bachand , rhythm guitar] had been working with CARNIVORA forever. And we knew the WITHIN THE RUINS guys. And we were, like, 'All right, we've got our bill.' We knew it was gonna be at The Palladium before. That was like our backyard; that was like our hometown spot. We played so many metal fests and opened so many great shows [at that venue]."

Fair added: "And then we were, like, 'We also want to be razor-sharp prepared.' We were not known for rehearsing very diligently back in the day. We were kind of a lazy band when it came to practicing. We'd always get halfway through the set and be, like, 'We know 'Destroyer Of Senses' . We don't need to play it again.' And then you realize, 'We probably should have dusted it off.' So we really all focused and practiced like crazy, on our own and then together. And, man, that was probably as good as we've ever sounded. We were super ready. The crowd was incredible. We brought in an awesome crew and great production. We brought in the lights; we did the whole deal. We were, like, 'We're not nickel-and-diming this shit. It's gonna be a fucking party.' And it was, man. It was awesome. My family was out. I had the kids up on stage with me at one point. And Paul 's kid came out. They got to see their dads being cool at least once, and not just on YouTube . The vibe was very celebratory. [There] was a crazy pit and people were going nuts, but it wasn't an angry vibe in there at all. It was very welcoming and very humbling as well."

Asked if there is any chance of SHADOWS FALL working on new music, Fair said: "We've talked about writing stuff, and there's a very definitive SHADOWS FALL approach to writing. So if Matt or Jon [ Donais , lead guitar] or Paul had ideas that really made sense, I'd see us pursuing 'em. But nothing right now. All we wanted to do is get through this show — we wanted to get through it, see if we could pull it off, see how it went. And now we're, like, 'Okay, now we can think about if we wanna do something else.' But nothing planned right now. I know Jon and Matt are riff machines — I'm sure they've got stuff — but they do also have other projects they're working on too… But right now we're just kind of recovering a little bit, trying to make sure I get my neck back in shape."

SHADOWS FALL released a statement in August 2014 in which the bandmembers explained that financial difficulties made it virtually impossible for the group to continue as a full-time concern.

In August 2015, SHADOWS FALL played a few reunion shows on the U.S. East Coast, one year after completing what was being billed at the time as the band's "final" European tour.

SHADOWS FALL 's latest album, "Fire From The Sky" , released in May 2012 via Razor & Tie . The CD sold around 10,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 38 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Donais and Bachand recently launched a new project called LIVING WRECKAGE , in which they are joined by guitarist Matt LeBreton ( DOWNPOUR ),drummer Jon Morency ( LET US PREY ) and vocalist Jeff Gard DEATH RAY VISION .

Recent tour reviews

Even those unfamiliar with the Springfield, Massachusetts outfit Shadows Fall would surely not be entirely shocked, with a name like that, to discover that they’re a metal band. They’ve tended to specialise in the fast-paced thrash sub-genre of the style over the course of a career that has now almost spanned a full two decades, but that’s not to say that they didn’t have some melodic leanings earlier in their career; as they’ve gone from strength to strength, though, building up an impressively sizable worldwide fanbase in the process, their sound has become altogether more focused. They’ve released seven albums over the course of their career to date, with the two most recent efforts - 2009’s Retribution and Fire from the Sky in 2012 - reflecting the scale of their cult fanbase by both managing to break into the top forty on the U.S. albums charts. The band toured the world in support of that most recent release, playing incendiary, hugely energetic shows that also served as exercises in technical proficiency. The setlists were career-spanning affairs, although you rather suspect that the actual selection of songs might not have mattered too much to those down in the mosh pits - just that Shadows Fall brought their brutal signature sound to proceedings.

Shadows Fall Announce ‘The War Within’ 20th Anniversary Show

The performance will take place at a legendary venue next spring

Next spring, Shadows Fall are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their watershed album, The War Within with a special one-off show.

“20 years – cannot believe it will be 20 years since Shadows Fall dropped  The War Within  on the world, “says frontman Brian Fair. “This record changed my entire life and took me around the world. We had been surprised by the success of  The Art of Balance  and definitely felt a little pressure to take things to another level, but we did not allow that pressure to change our vision of the band we wanted to be. Our goal was to allow all of our influences shine through while pushing metal into a new direction, creating the music we had always wanted to hear ourselves.”

He continues, “ The War Within  may be the closest we have come to achieving these goals and that hard work and vision allowed us to get on our first arena tour, our first Grammy nomination, and countless other firsts along the way. Since this is an important birthday for the album, we wanted to play a special set to celebrate  The War Within  in its entirety, every track, some of which has rarely been played live.”

The anniversary gig is slated for Saturday, March 16, 2024 at the storied Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey.

Nodding to New Jersey’s pivotal role in the band’s history, Fair says, “New Jersey has always had some of the craziest crowds we have ever played to so doing this show at The Starland Ballroom seemed like the perfect choice! Dirty Jersey has always felt like a home away from home to us and we have had so many full-on parties on that stage. We cannot wait to party there again! Start stretching now and get ready to come out of mosh retirement so we can give  The War Within  the birthday rager it deserves. See ya soon!”

An AMEX pre-sale begins today, November 1, and runs through Thursday, November 2. VIP Tickets are on sale now HERE . The general on-sale begins this Friday, November 3 at 12pm ET HERE .

Yesterday [October 31], Shadows Fall set sail on Lamb of God’s inaugural Headbanger’s Boat Cruise along with Mastodon, Hatebreed, Testament, Lacuna Coil, and more.

Released on September 21, 2004 through Century Media, Shadows Fall’s The War Within was a keystone in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. The record peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard 200. Both singles – “What Drives the Weak” and “Inspiration on Demand” – cracked the Top 50 on the Mainstream Rock chart. Since its release, the album has sold over 300,000 copies worldwide. In addition to the two singles, The War Within was anchored by tracks like “Ghosts of Past Failures,” “Those Who Cannot Speak,” and the ultra-brutal “The Power of I and I.”

Hopefully, a full anniversary tour is in the works.

A vinyl reissue would be cool, too.
