Shadows Fall Hits the Studio

New York, NY. (Atlantic Records) - Atlantic recording group Shadows Fall is currently in the studio recording their highly anticipated major label debut with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Stone Sour, Rush). The still untitled project is the Grammy nominated band's follow-up to 2004's critically acclaimed THE WAR WITHIN, and its companion release, 2006's FALLOUT FROM THE WAR, both released on Century Media Records.

After headlining this summer's STHRESS Tour with such supporting acts as Suffocation and Poison The Well, Shadows Fall headed straight back to their rehearsal space to begin pre-production. On Monday, September 18th, they'll enter Studio 606 in Northridge, CA to begin recording. Says singer Brian Fair, 'I cannot wait to finally get this started! We have been working on these songs for the past few months in the practice space and are ready to lay them down in the studio. Pre-production with Nick has been amazing. He is definitely on the same page as us musically and personally. He is a lifelong fan of metal but also has a great understanding of rock and roll which complements our style and sound perfectly.' Raskulinecz adds, 'I've wanted to work with this band for years, and had to bug the hell out of them until they said yes. We're gonna make every drum hit count on this record.'

Springfield-based hard rock group Shadows Fall first garnered attention from the underground metal scene with their first three releases, SOMBER EYES TO THE SKY, OF ONE BLOOD and THE ART OF BALANCE. Known for their unrelenting live performances, alongside touring with an array of diverse artists such as Slipknot, Damageplan, Misfits, Lamb Of God, In Flames, Killswitch Engage and Glassjaw, Shadows Fall has well established themselves in the heavy metal scene. The group's 2004 breakthrough album, THE WAR WITHIN, not only debuted at No 20 on the Billboard Top 200 chart but also earned the group a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance and secured a spot on Ozzfest's 2005 main stage.
