==History== ===Formation and ''Somber Eyes to the Sky'' (1996–1997)=== Shadows Fall was formed in 1996 by guitarists [[Jonathan Donais]] and [[Matt Bachand]], who were good friends from the local music scene.<ref name="formation">{{Cite web |date=April 5, 2000 |title=Shadows Fall Interview |url=http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewshadows.html |access-date=May 10, 2012 |website=metalupdate.com}}</ref> Bachand had previously been a founding member of a death metal band and Donais a member of the metalcore band [[Aftershock (band)|Aftershock]].
