his vocals are the reason i dont like the band.. i’ll listen to the musical parts but as soon as he starts he sounds strained and uninteresting. he just kind of wobbles on throughout the song not changing anything or bring anything to the band

Fuck Shadows Fall. Threads of Life was absolutely terrible. I don’t even know what was worse, their music or the artwork. It looked like they went to a local elementary school, pulled a picture off of a classroom wall and said “fuck it, its our new artwork.”

This song might be better than anything on Threads of Life, but it still just plain sucks. Brian Fairs vocals are absolutely terrible and ruins it.

not a memorable song after first listen. maybe it’ll change on me. war within is a classic metal album in my book and I don’t consider Shadows Fall generic metalcore. this song seemed to start off as generic metalcore in my book (and I’m quite the lenient one when it comes to that label). not TOO promising.

Uh . . . The only thing Post-Bob Rock was Death Magnetic. Pretty sure King Nothing wasn’t on that album.

What a badass song! I havent really liked anything after The War Within but that gives me hope for Shadows Fall.

Ah the old game of boosting metal cred by bashing post AJFA Metallica.

epic, epic fail. I’m generally open-minded when it comes to music, but I actually dislike you as a person because of what you just said.

The riffs are good, the vocals not so much. As usual.

Saying Randy is on the song is a cocktease.

I really don’t know what to think about either song or band discussed above, as Ziltoid has yet to weigh in. Until I’m told what to think, I’ll reserve judegement.

Ziltoid, I await your command.

I like both but this comment is very true. They are not as bad as Hatebreed their albums sound like one song and LoG have some great songs and some that sound the exact same.

shadows fall is awesome.Stoked for the new album.
Could you imagine if Phil from ATR still sang for Shadows Fall?
And to the people that wrote these two lines
“King Nothing was a bad-ass Metallica song”
“I’d take Metallica’s “King Nothing” over this anyday. At least “King Nothing” is memorable.”
stop hitting the crack pipe anything post bob rock Metallica is shit and very easy to forget

i don’t get why there are people who like lamb of god but don’t like shadows fall. LoG sounds monotonous and one-dimensional in comparison.
