Steviekick Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 Found this commentary from vocalist Brian Fair on Shadows Fall.com.... What up everyone, Been a busy week songwriting wise. I hit Planet Z on Saturday [Feb. 21] to lay down some rough vocal ideas over the demos that the band recorded last week. For live demos the sound quality is unreal. [Producer] Zeus has stepped up Planet Z in a serious way. The new songs are coming out amazing. Everyone in the band is really [psyched] on the new shit. Sound-wise these songs are covering a lot of ground. Some tunes are totally brutal heavy, heavier that anything we have done in the past, some have a real rock n roll vibe and some are just all out thrash fests. And this is only the beginning. New ideas are popping up constantly. We should be debuting a few new tunes at the headlining shows we are planning for April. We are still waiting for final confirmation but the lineup for the short tour looks to be killer. It is only a short run of shows in the PA, NY and MA area. Right after the show we will be heading in the studio to begin work on the album itself. In other news, 'The Art Of Balance' is still doing amazingly!! We have sound scanned over 90,000 copies which for an underground metal band on an independent label is awesome. We really want to push this record over the 100,000 mark to prove to the industry what it is already realizing, that the underground is taking over and people are demanding quality music. Help us push this record over the 100K mark by telling your friends to pick that shit up and to all of those with burned copies go grab the real shit and hook us up!!! hahahaha. But seriously, thank you all so much for making this record such a success. We are gonna come right back with another record that we think will push our sound even further. They propably passed the 100,000 mark if they were able to count copies sold at shows, indie record stores, etc. Stupid Soundscan.
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 All I can say is that I hope they do an updated version of "Pure" (since they updated "To Ashes" and "Fleshold" for Of One Blood). Man...I love Shadows Fall. I'm putting either "Thoughts Without Words" or "The First Noble Truth" in my Visual Communications project (which is a short 1-minute video using clips provided for us of a dog getting a bath from two kids).
Guest Choken One Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 I'm BANKING that they put a couple Radio friendly songs in between the brutal songs...just to continue the "New Metallica" route.
Steviekick Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 That would be cool if they did an update of a song from Somber Eyes To The Sky. My vote would be for "Somber Angel". I do think they will have some more mainstream friendly stuff on the new album, especially how Century Media seems to be trying to break into mass market retailers. They have a hell of a lot of Lacuna Coil at Target, and my head almost exploded when I saw the new Dimmu Borgir at WalMart!!
