Shadows Fall has to be one of the most underrated bands in metal. These guys actually wrote great SONGS, not just piecing riffs together like most. Damn, they were so talented. ARE so talented.
It’s now 2023, may hair is going gray, my knees hurt all the time for no reason, I’m divorced, BUT… I’m glad there are some things that never change, like how Shadows Fall kick total fucking arse.
I was the same. Until I cut out sugar and bad carbs, meaning rice potatoes and bread. Basically eat carnivore now. With a few carrots, broccoli, bananas. Carbs like that. And I mean instantly, all joint pain left, and energy levels rose to high school levels. No more taking naps. But it's great.
This band... specifically this song changed the course of my musical journey forever. They played a big rock festival here back in I think it was 2004. I was a hick in HS and then got into rap/EDM. I saw these guys live and they opened with this song and it was that moment on a hot Saturday afternoon that I became the metalhead that I am today.
can’t believe Jon went from Guitarist of one of the best metalcore bands to guitarist of one of the best metal bands of all time. Absolute living legend.
The Art of Balance was a true master piece of an album for Shadows Fall. Just mind blowing from beginning to end even now when I go back and listen to it.
Totally hardcore man. John is my alltime idol. Excellent guitar player man. Wow dude. Incredible. The skill. He also seems to be a very modest person about the whole baddest shredder around thing.
I met the old drummer in a bar in Amsterdam - apparantly he plays for a band called Jaya the Cat now ! Weird change !!!!! Metal to reggae - I know what I'd prefer !
I was there when these guys were born in the attic of the Domain. When Dave was on drums. 1992 Original pit crew what!!! You can thank us for showing up at every early show and helping put them on the map!
Man i miss listening to these guys. This is modern metal in its simple and rawest form. The riff structure is simple and catchy and the lyrics are beyond inspired. Shadows Fall did it right. Much love from the bay.
Shadows Fall are the best thrash metal band around at the moment. amazing drummer and insane guitarist, they're also such a hard touring band. Love them!
These guys got me into metal. I will forever be grateful for their presence in my life 🙏 ❤ they are all so underrated for their talents. His vocal range is so fitting for the ever changing guitar and drum styles. And honestly their guitarist is one of the best metal musicians in my opinion. Dude has some really incredible skills.
One of the greatest bands of the 2000s. This is the sound that gave me hope for the future of metal at a time when nu metal was in the process of killing it.
We need them to make another album. Shadows fall is one of the bands that got me into metal 🤘🏻 this is actually the first song I ever heard from them when it first came out I've been a fan ever since. I even have most of their albums. So boys please for the love of metal come back together and shred again
Not a lot of bands in shadows fall category do guitar leads but they have some of the best I have ever heard they have matured unbelievably through the years
Having awareness but no true sense of self You find yourself enslaved in chains of earthly wealth The unending chatter that plagues the mind Confusion will be all that you find Chaos reigns in an untamed mind Still question all I know advancing forward This fallacy I have disowned You must quench the yearning and false desire Only balance will elevate us higher You must train the body and the mind to serve Envisioning thoughts without words Chaos reigns in an untamed mind Still question all I know advancing forward This fallacy I have disowned Encaged in a world that fear creates You must release yourself and liberate I am seeking the way...
I’ll never forget meeting Jason and Brian fair at guitar center in Matthews nc 2013 both great nice guys one of my all time favorite bands and Frontman like ever
You must not be looking for bands and waiting for the bands to come to you. There's always good metal I am finding. You need to stop relying on the mainstream of metal and dig deeper. Your comment was 6 years ago and good stuff was around back then and is still today.
Been listening to metal almost all my life and never came across these guys until now, this is amazing and the sound is heavy 🤙 Also someone said that they are one of the founders of metalcore
Shadows Fall has to be one of the most underrated bands in metal. These guys actually wrote great SONGS, not just piecing riffs together like most. Damn, they were so talented. ARE so talented.
the art of balance is especially good. it's probably my third favorite behind rust in peace and master of puppets
and they fucking kill it live! awesome band
Agreed Metal Brother!!! Cheerz Ya !!! 🤘🥃🤘

Shadows Fall,Killswitch Engage, God Forbid, Darkest Hour and Heaven Shall Burn are exactly what metalcore should sound like. Miss these dudes
Daniel Wray replace god forbid and Darkest hour with Neaera and Caliban early stuff and I will agree
+BoyTitan meh Darkest Hour has better riffs
+BoyTitan They're not even half as good as Darkest Hour lol
yes dude! thank you!
Trivium?
Still listening to Shadows Fall in 2020?!?!
Ofc hahahaha
On Point Cast absafuckinlutely!!! Wish they would get back together!!! Awesome band!! And great live!!!
Hell YES I AM!
🤘
If we can listen to Metallica in 2020, we sure the fuck can listen to Shadows Fall!!!!
This is still one of the most wicked intense guitar solos I have ever heard and I have heard it all. I love this whole album.
I love that it goes up a notch just when you think it's ended!
Shoutout the beast Jonathan Donais

Right on!! That’s why festivals rule!!
Good for you my dude....hicks....idk man they're so narrow minded, you didn't miss out on nothing when you quit being a hick.
@@That_dude87 pretty narrow minded comment against hicks man
@@theophany1770 nor at all
First time I listen to them it was The Power of I and I... Dude, that song blew my mind
can’t believe Jon went from Guitarist of one of the best metalcore bands to guitarist of one of the best metal bands of all time. Absolute living legend.
Anthrax best of all time.....hell no.
This song is just as badass now as it was when the album first came out.
Still badass in 2023
I've been listening to this song since 2003 and JUST realized it's about Meditation
The Art of Balance was an amazing album!
The Art of Balance was a true master piece of an album for Shadows Fall. Just mind blowing from beginning to end even now when I go back and listen to it.
Hello from 2024 and only balance will elevate us higher 🤘
awesome lead guitarist
AWESOME VOCALIST.
Brian Fair, one of the best metal vocalist ever.
They are thrash, death, power, melodic,... all metal in one single band, thats why they are amazing!!
2021 and still BLASTING Shadows Fall in my Challenger R/T at full blast!!!!
Still listening in 2023. With the new music coming out soon, we'll ALL be listening!!!
These guys need to get back together , Fucking love this , and they were fucking great live !!!
They are now, have played a few shows and just started working on new music
Totally hardcore man. John is my alltime idol. Excellent guitar player man. Wow dude. Incredible. The skill. He also seems to be a very modest person about the whole baddest shredder around thing.
Love these Lads!!🤘🤘🤘
I love this song ❤
One of my all time favourite bands, really miss them!
why is this video not in the millions!!!!
Just started listening to shadows fall, I regret nothing.
baggy pants and black t shirts those were the days!!! i miss shadows fall!!!
I met the old drummer in a bar in Amsterdam - apparantly he plays for a band called Jaya the Cat now ! Weird change !!!!! Metal to reggae - I know what I'd prefer !
Shadows fall a one of the few metal core bands I really like, they actually have guitar solos
Oh yeah this is what metalcore is meant to be! Not that djent shit where the breakdown is the main riff because the guitarist doesn't have the skills.
All That Remains, Unearth, Killswitch Engage, and As I Lay Dying all have guitar solos and they're awesome metalcore bands.
+Justin Palla Try Unearth out, i think you won't be disappointed
MutilatedMetalhead You obviously haven't gone that far into djent cause some of that stuff is great.
MutilatedMetalhead Djent is amazing you dumb fuck.

Love shadows fall craziest riffs
Definitely one of my favs. from SF! #Thoughts Without Words ...shadows fall
2019 random thoughts brought me back here.
Holy shit. I miss it.
In 2020 me too!!!
SF is one of the reasons I opened my mind to Metal - great band!
We need more of this. Sooooo badasssssss
This band is brilliant. Distinguishable songs are the best. I also love his dreadlocks. I can't stop staring at them
Shadows Fall are the best thrash metal band around at the moment. amazing drummer and insane guitarist, they're also such a hard touring band. Love them!
this is thee band , riffs, drums, bass, vocals, perfection.
it's spelt *the*, not thee
This is a band for the future of metal!
Still kicking ASS in 2021!!😈👍
This is Awesome. Dual Guitars. Dual Kick Drums. Fucking off the charts.
awesome sound, voice and quality
Reunite this band.👍👍🤘🤘😎
I think they have been playing shows recently

I think they are making an album in 2022! They mentioned it on social media 🙌🏽
Miss this band so much. So glad I got to see them live a few times in Australia.
Not a lot of bands in shadows fall category do guitar leads but they have some of the best I have ever heard they have matured unbelievably through the years
Saw them In San Juan, PR back in 2014, and thought it was the last time. But they fucking did it! They killed it at Rockville 2024!!
If Killswitch Engage and Howard can reunite, everything is possible. So SF please make a comeback!
btw AILD cameback a year ago
Yes.
I totally agree!!! Love me some Howard Jones!!!
They are doing a reunion show in December!!
Yup, Jonathan is gonna leave a successful band, like Anthrax, to rejoin this never was band 🤣🤣🤣
This album is so riffy, what a classic!
Having awareness but no true sense of self
You find yourself enslaved in chains of earthly wealth
The unending chatter that plagues the mind
Confusion will be all that you find
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind
Still question all I know advancing forward
This fallacy I have disowned
You must quench the yearning and false desire
Only balance will elevate us higher
You must train the body and the mind to serve
Envisioning thoughts without words
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind
Still question all I know advancing forward
This fallacy I have disowned
Encaged in a world that fear creates
You must release yourself and liberate
I am seeking the way...
I had a dream that I made a mix video of Shadows Fall for my grandmother.
She'd be proud of you
Fuck yeah...
they are back!
I know eh, the first song I ever hears of these guys, and I like their music so much, one of my favourite band ever.
I’ll never forget meeting Jason and Brian fair at guitar center in Matthews nc 2013 both great nice guys one of my all time favorite bands and Frontman like ever
I have one of Jason Bittner's Drumsticks. caught from a gig. makes me happy
One of the best metalcore songs ever...
Those drums + concert bass = pure awesome
I miss shadows fall....
This band needs to be again. NEEDS to be again. Such muck of awful metal right now, makes me sad. Love you shadows fall, come back to us someday.
Dafuq were you listening to back then? There were loads of bands in 2016 that made good albums... Did you ever find metal salvation?
Dean A They've said a tour could happen. Sadly between menders busy and there last shows bombed attendance wise
There’s a ton of good metal out there today. You’re not looking enough.
They're doing a show, in Boston later this year
You must not be looking for bands and waiting for the bands to come to you. There's always good metal I am finding. You need to stop relying on the mainstream of metal and dig deeper.
Your comment was 6 years ago and good stuff was around back then and is still today.
This was the good days of metal
Been listening to metal almost all my life and never came across these guys until now, this is amazing and the sound is heavy 🤙
Also someone said that they are one of the founders of metalcore
Miss these guys
2023 baby! Still jamming this out. Takes me back to high school days just driving around and partying without a care in the world, man
Still great to this day new bands can't touch this greatness.
drummer is sick man straight up sick
Beyond classic and perfection
greatest song by shadows fall ever. ever.
Miss y’all one of my all time #1 band
Bitner is such a mechanical giant! The dude's a machine. Love It!
We need you now more than ever shadows fall. Come back to us.
At this point I'm not even sure how old this song is but it still goes just as hard as the first time I heard it.
This song is in my alarm clock every morning... and so it's no wonder I'm always so cheerful
Bittner is a god man! That bass is killer!
Shadows Fall. Greatest band that never was.
I just met Brian at Tattoo The Earth 2022! Dude is fucking awesome as hell!! 🤘🏻
the underground will NEVER DIE!!!
DAMN! THAT SOLO KICKS MAJOR ASS! best metal! metal for life! never stop headbanging!
Essa banda NUNCA deveria ter acabado :(
Voltaram! Não sei se são os mesmos integrantes.
Still listening to Shadows Fall in 2023.
SF's music can rip through a metal plate!
Still listening in 2023!
The Art Of Balance got me through mental illness...
one of my favorite tracks by this band!!! they blend the old school thrash with some of the new elements of todays metal
Thrash riffs with hardcore breakdowns.
honestly have no idea why i like them so much but they sound so divine! timeless and epic and ive listened to metal my whole life
Old but sweeeeeet🤘🏾 hopefully they come with new album 🤘🏾
They were so cool and I was obsessed with this song back in ‘05
Killer song killer band even live they kick ass 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻🔥❤️

2024 best underrated metal band ever
They have already been considered the kings of heavy metal before.
one of my favorites! we are majorly influences by these guys!
i love their guitar tone and this looks like a badass place to jam
I really think the war within is one of the best metal album ever created
This is from The Art Of Balance.
Emotional Damage

Century Media.....GET THIS BAND BACK TOGETHER!
2022 and still here 🖤
