Shadows Fall

Shadows Fall is an American heavy metal band from Springfield, 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 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) 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. The band are a two-time Grammy Award nominee in the category Best Metal Performance for their songs "What Drives the Weak" and "Redemption". 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. The band reunited for its first show in six years in December 2021 in their native Massachusetts, and discussed the possibility of recording new material. In 2024, they released new material for the first time in twelve years, with a single titled "In the Grey."
