NEW SHADOWS FALL VIDEO WILL MAKE YOUR DICK “RISE”

 Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 at 4:45pm by

Here’s the new Shadows Fall video, for the song “Still I Rise.” It’s full of dudes working out and running and fighting and stuff. Mostly, though, it’s just a good chance to hear a new Shadows Fall song.

The band’s latest, Retribution, comes out September 15. A little birdie told me it’s heavy as fuck.

Shadows Fall just announced a tour with Five Finger Death Punch. Well, nobody’s perfect.

    Lame video, good song

    • ShadsWillKillYourMom

      Song is good. The concept is good. Most metalheads watch UFC so it makes sense to tap into that.
      However, Shads is a bit late with this video. Five Finger Death Punch has done this (almost identical video!) about a year ago, and I mean IDENTICAL minus the stupid Affliction shirts. Look it up on youtube or something. The Way Of The Fist video is exactly like this, I mean to the T ! It was on Headbanger’s Ball for months, I’m surprised that Shads would miss that… still good song.

  • SP420

    Wow, wonder how much Affliction paid to have their shit shirts shoved in front of the camera for 50% of the video.

    Fuck this band. They’ve been musically dead since the Art of Balance.

    • stu1

      Probably nothing. Brian’s done ads and shit for them in past.

      • SP420

        …Thanks for strengthening my point.

  • Bicro

    Why all the wankery over this band?

  • dlux

    i’m so sick of seeing affliction everywhere. it’s outta control. i’ve never seen someone who wasn’t some douchebag wanna-be tough guy wearing their shit.

    and i was excited that they were coming on tour….until i saw five finger butt fuck and otep were on the bill. no thanks.

    • Fong Chung

      lmao this is what I call Kmart Tough Guy Pro Bush Fuck Yeah Metal. It’s music for white trash, juggalos, and FUUUUUCK YEEEEAH BRO MAGNON dudes. I can even imagine their singer coming out with Giant American Flag going “USA USA USA USA!!!” over and over again. Affliction metal sucks balls.

        I refer to it as NAScore.

  • Simon

    I loved the song (maybe except for the clean parts).
    The video is a cliche, but there’s so-cheesy-it’s-funny Donais’ rockstar moment, when he solos in dark glasses :D

  • Biff Tannen

    Dudes working out and running make your dick hard? You’ve confimed what we’ve all suspected for a long , long time.

    “Hey guys, what’s popular with the kids these days?”
    “Affliction Shirts!”
    “MMA!”
    “Ummmmm…..Affliction Shirts!”
    “Awesome. I think we have enough material for a video.”
    “Maybe we should focus on writing good songs, like we used to. You know, like we did for the Of One Blood album.”
    “FIRED.”

    Kick Arsage!!!!

    I like mma but am sick of seeing it in all these videos, its clearly staged and looks lame. Same with afflictiction shirts

    • http://myspace.com/thedivinefamily grobi wunder

      staged affliction shirts?

  • ferocious_fetus

    Brian sounds like a poor man’s John Bush.
    The first 30 seconds of the song were cool, then the vocals and gayness began.

    Of One Blood > everything they’ve done since.
    Art of Balance & War Within each have some great songs on them but as whole albums….eh.

    • Fong Chung

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! That’s so true about Brian Fair. He is like a cross between Don Dokken, Jon Bon Jovi’s horrible moments(Like when he does country western rock), and James Hetfield all rolled into one. I wish this horrible generic band would just go away and stop making music. I haven’t given a shit about them since 1998.

  • johnnywhoopass

    oh look another mma themed freaking video good god kill me i would have rather seen Ashley simpson dancing around than that good fuck. songs alright tho i havent been into shadows for along time ive been waiting for a better record from them,

      I’m working with a band that is about to release an MMA themed video. Heh.

  • derek

    way better than the other new song. this cd should be better than the last couple but they still need to step up the intensity like the old days.

  • Me

    Ew: the cleans.

    HORRIBLE SONG AND BAND, AND DREADLOCKS SUCK

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Stockman/1172658628 Peter Stockman

    HAHAHA.

  • razorsharp codpiece

    Further solidifies this band as Affliction brometal. Metal is ruining MMA for me. Nothing is cooler than stealing video ideas from Emmure.

    • sYgnal

      Instead of “Affliction Metal” how about “Jock Metal”. It reminds me of the Hardcore scene in the 90s. Ya know, sports jerseys & shit.. I remember when Josh Barnett would “come in” to Cannibal Corpse…classic.

      • Fong Chung

        LOL @ Affliction Bro Metal. God MMA is becoming a parady, and it’s fans are even funnier. Remember the same white trash Jocko’s that loved WWE and of course bands such as Disturbed. Same people just a different decade.

        • PISS

          HAHA. YES.

    • PISS

      SO TRUE. GIVE IT UP.

  • Poo bum

    Shadows fall make Axl’s dick rise. If I am not mistaken, that makes Axl gay.

    • metalguy

      that song was gay so he definetly is

  • sYgnal

    Wasn’t this the same band that was trying to follow the Technical/Melodic Death Metal path back in the late 90s?? I remember someone telling me that if I like DEATH that I would also like Shadows Fall…What the hell happened?! *Yawn*

  • metalguy

    not to defend Seemless or whatever the band is called, but their latest video had exactly the same theme as this one but you made fun of that directors “artistic integrity” or something. you guys are dick suckers who’ll like anything the band you like does. you could have at least said “the vid sucks but i like the song”

  • rob-209

    john bush is rolling over in his grave.he is dead right?

  • ZapBranigan

    Love Shadows Fall (fuck the haters).
    Stoked for the new album.
    Video is kinda lame.
    Affliction shirts are lame.
    Fucking hate Five Finger Death Punch.

  • i think

    its great instrumentally but brian cant fucking sing. get him the fuck out he ruins the band

  • Frampler

    Not an awful song, but nothing special. The video is cliched, homoerotic, and downright terrible.

  • skib

    I’m definitely not pro affliction here, but I want to point out that Megadeth played at Affliction Entertainment’s debut last year, according to this article:
    http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=6531&zoneid=13

    Don’t think that absolves Shadows Fall of this steaming pile of rhino shit, though.

  • esteban

    half squats on a smith machine? get the fuck out of here with those sissy lifts. i could tell it was gonna be a tapout/ affliction commercial 10 seconds into this thing.

  • PISS

    WHAT IS IT REgae

  • Spaghetti

    Am I the only one that thinks Shadows Fall are mediocre and boring?

  • (required)

    Gayest guitarist sing-along face ever at 1:02.

  • Wake Up

    You people are ridiculous. The video is actually amazing due to the fact that metal is the tough as fuck music. Fighting and generally acting tough as shit is generally the image for it. Would you prefer that guy from the start of Metal: A Headbangers journey was running around in it? Tight zebra print? How’s that for gay? As for the song, Shadows Fall is actually amazing considering the other “metal” bands running around. Looking at Attack Attack i’d say these guys are kind of a blessing. Obviously we all want to hear the metal from the good ol’ days, but then that would get pretty generic as well wouldn’t it? Maybe the clean parts are a little queer but nothings perfect. And Five Finger Death Punch is actually nothing that deserves to be put down at all. Should be thankful for them to.

  • rick

    I’m gonna go ahead and get this outta the way before I comment, I’m a huge MMA fan and train martial arts and I love Shadows Fall. So you think I would love this video. But I don’t. It’s gay. Although I will give it credit for having an actual MMA fighter in it (Babalu Sobral). Song is cool though, I hope this album is better than Threads of Life.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Clark/1228567441 Matt Clark

    yeah man although Threads did have some killer songs.. like Failure of The Devout.

  • whiplash

    fucking pathetic. the site says metal sucks, tries to combat real metal with unskilled, fast-paced bullshit attempting to be “mother-fucking hardcore- (b/c apparently ‘metal sucks’) yet it is fronted by a little pussy-bitch lead singer that sounds like a Simple Plan or Blink 182 prodigy…don’t bash metal til u got something 2 fight it with Fuck
