Thank the stars for Shadows Fall. I have to say, that their previous album, The War Within, left a sour taste in my mouth - i'd pretty much given up on the band, but the new album totally redeems them in my eyes. It's right up there with the Art of Balance album. Blistering guitarwork, furious drumming and a stellar vocal delivery from Brian are all present on this album. I urge everyone who's into metal to check out this release, even if like me, you lost faith in this band after their last album. They're back on top again!! Bring on the tour!!

Let's be honest, the previous 2 Shadows Fall albums were patchy at the very best of times, getting no-where near the brilliance that was "The Art of Balance" and leaving me with severe reservations about purchasing "Threads of Life". However "Threads..." is a blinding return to their previous, bone crunching form, and is easily the bands best outting to date. A thrash-tastic medley of furocious riffage, pounding drums and killer solo work, rounded of nicely with a much improved perfomance from vocalist Brian fair.
Each song is a vital, technical thrash masterpiece (except "Another Hero Lost", which is a little restrained), shining examples of how Metal should be played, Shaming the likes of tame wannabe's Trivium. Blending whale size, hook laden riffs with a pounding groove they sound like a modern version of "Justice" era Metallica (only better) fused with Pantera at the height of their game if such a thing were possible!
The only guitar duo who even come close to matching the virtuoso skills of Jonathan Donais and Matt Bachand are the Haunted's Anders Bjorler and Patrik Jensen, which really is saying quite alot.
Put simply this album is a strong contender for the best Metal album since "Master of Puppets" (a bold claim i know!). So, do yourself a big favour. Buy it (like right this very second!), stick it in your stereo, turn the volume up to full and circle head-bang like you've never circle head-banged before!

If you are a fan of Shadows Fall you will love this album! If not then where have you been?? This album has amazing riffs, great vocals and heavy drumming all adding up to an immense Metal album! If you love things heavy and loud then you will love all parts of this album. This band have a dedicated following and with this album I think they can only get bigger! This is definitely one album that is well worth buying!!

I think moving to the big shots did them good, all the same brutality and awesome guitar work on here, but with added melodic vocals that brian fair does very well. Read more
