About Shadows Fall
Shadows Fall is a metalcore band from Springfield, MA, formed in 1995.
Shadows Fall came out of Springfield, Massachusetts in 1995. Philip Labonte, later of All That Remains, sang on the earliest material before Brian Fair took over, and the line-up that broke through featured guitarists Jon Donais and Matt Bachand and drummer Jason Bittner.
Twin-guitar harmonies and full thrash solos rode on top of hardcore-derived grooves, with Fair alternating screams and singing. The Art of Balance and The War Within established them alongside bands like Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God, and they later moved to a major label for Threads of Life. After a hiatus that began in the mid-2010s, the band reunited for live shows.
