'''Shadows Fall''' is an American [[metalcore]] band from [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], formed in 1996. Although Shadows Fall has experienced several line-up changes, for most of its recording career, Shadows Fall has been composed of guitarists [[Jonathan Donais|Jon Donais]] and [[Matt Bachand]], bassist Paul Romanko, lead vocalist [[Brian Fair]] and drummer [[Jason Bittner]].

Shadows Fall has released seven studio albums, three compilation albums, and two DVDs. The band's first album featured [[Philip Labonte]] (of [[All That Remains (band)|All That Remains]]) on lead vocals, but he was soon replaced by Fair. Shadows Fall's first two studio albums featured [[David Germain]] playing drums; however, in 2002, Bittner joined the band full-time. In February 2008, the band was a [[Grammy Award]] nominee in the category [[Best Metal Performance]] for the song "Redemption" from the album ''[[Threads of Life (album)|Threads of Life]]''. Their most recent studio album, ''[[Fire from the Sky]]'', was released on May 15, 2012, and was the first to be produced by [[Adam Dutkiewicz]] since the band's first studio release.

Shadows Fall announced in August 2014 that they were going to go on an indefinite hiatus, and by the following summer, they had wrapped up what was planned to be their farewell tour.<ref name=finaltour>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/shadows-fall-to-embark-on-final-european-north-american-tours/ |title=Shadows Fall To Embark on Final European, North American Tours |website=Blabbermouth.net |date=August 25, 2014 |access-date=December 23, 2015}}</ref><ref name=summershow>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/video-shadows-fall-performs-at-rhode-islands-big-kahuna-festival/|title=Video: SHADOWS FALL Performs At Rhode Island's BIG KAHUNA Festival|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=August 28, 2015|access-date=January 3, 2022}}</ref> The band reunited for its first show in six years in December 2021 in their native Massachusetts,<ref name=reunion>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/shadows-fall-announces-december-2021-reunion-show/|title=SHADOWS FALL Announces December 2021 Reunion Show|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=June 22, 2021|access-date=June 22, 2021}}</ref> and discussed the possibility of recording new material.<ref name=newmusic>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/brian-fair-shadows-fall-has-talked-about-working-on-new-music/|title=BRIAN FAIR: SHADOWS FALL Has Talked About Working On New Music|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=January 3, 2022|access-date=January 3, 2022}}</ref>

==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]]. Later on, the band found a complete lineup with the addition of Damien McPherson (vocals), Mark Laliberte (bass), and David Germain (drums). Also in 1996, [[Adam Dutkiewicz]] performed live drums to fill in for Germain.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Killswitch Engage: Adam Dutkiewicz |url=http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/membre_groupe/membre_groupe-nom-Adam_Dutkiewicz_-id-15016-l-en.html |access-date=May 10, 2012 |website=Spirit of Metal}}</ref> By late 1996, the band recorded and released a demo titled ''Mourning a Dead World,'' of which only about 200 copies were produced.<ref name="formation"/> It consisted of the songs Lifeless, Suffer the Season, Fleshold, Forever Lost, A Souls Salvation, and Deadworld. McPherson decided to leave the band and was replaced by [[Philip Labonte]] in 1997.

In a May 2021 interview on the ''Who's Your Band?'' music podcast, drummer [[Jason Bittner]] revealed that Shadows Fall had "tried to get together last year for a reunion", and they were planning to play one of their first shows in over half a decade at the [[Worcester Palladium]]. He also commented on the possibility of new material and further band activity: "We're not gonna say we're still gonna be on hiatus, but we're not gonna say we're active either. We wanna just try to play a show. That's the point of right now — can we play a show first, and then everything else that comes after that, like talk of writing a record or talk of writing an EP… We've already talked about this — we said, if anything, we would write an EP first. We wouldn't write a full-length; we'd probably just four-song increments or something."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/shadows-fall-reunion-show-tentatively-scheduled-for-end-of-the-year/|title=SHADOWS FALL Reunion Show Tentatively Scheduled For End Of The Year|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=May 4, 2021|access-date=May 4, 2021}}</ref>

On June 22, 2021, Brian Fair confirmed that Shadows Fall were reuniting for their first show in over half a decade at the [[Worcester Palladium]] on December 18. Supporting acts for this show were [[Unearth]], [[Darkest Hour (band)|Darkest Hour]], [[Within the Ruins]], [[Sworn Enemy]] and Carnivora.<ref name=reunion />

In December 2021, when asked by the Podioslave Podcast<ref>{{Cite web |title=Episode 94: A Conversation with Brian Fair of Shadows Fall/Overcast |url=https://www.podioslave.com/episode-94-a-conversation-with-brian-fair-of-shadows-fallovercast/ |access-date=2023-05-11 |website=Podioslave Podcast |language=en}}</ref> if there will be new music from Shadows Fall, Fair said, "We've talked about writing stuff, and there's a very definitive Shadows Fall approach to writing. So if Matt or Jon 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."{{Long quote|date=January 2025}}<ref name=newmusic />

On December 6, 2024, the band released a new single titled "In the Grey."<ref>{{cite web |website=Blabbermouth.net |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/shadows-fall-is-back-with-first-new-single-in-more-than-12-years-in-the-grey |title=SHADOWS FALL Is Back With First New Single In More Than 12 Years, 'In The Grey' |date=December 6, 2024 |access-date=December 6, 2024}}</ref>
