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.

[@wyldeman7]

the art of balance is especially good. it's probably my third favorite behind rust in peace and master of puppets

[@Bloon82]

and they fucking kill it live! awesome band

[@mattdunphy6733]

Agreed Metal Brother!!! Cheerz Ya !!! 🤘🥃🤘

[@kooneya]

theonlyegg right on

[@danielwray5732]

Shadows Fall,Killswitch Engage, God Forbid, Darkest Hour and Heaven Shall Burn are exactly what metalcore should sound like. Miss these dudes

[@TinyTitian]

Daniel Wray replace god forbid and Darkest hour with Neaera and Caliban early stuff and I will agree

[@CarloTheImmortal]

+BoyTitan meh Darkest Hour has better riffs

[@large553]

+BoyTitan They're not even half as good as Darkest Hour lol

[@alexissmith5055]

yes dude! thank you!

[@davec.206]

Trivium?

[@rtk6157]

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.

[@darrenfrost919]

I love that it goes up a notch just when you think it's ended!

[@thrownofvengeance]

Shoutout the beast Jonathan Donais

[@thrownofvengeance]

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.

[@zungle6626]

Anthrax best of all time.....hell no.

[@Cyverion]

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.

[@AndyJack80]

Right on!! That’s why festivals rule!!

[@That_dude87]

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.

[@theophany1770]

@@That_dude87 pretty narrow minded comment against hicks man

[@That_dude87]

@@theophany1770 nor at all

[@L3viathan1]

First time I listen to them it was The Power of I and I... Dude, that song blew my mind

[@pcsmall]

This song is just as badass now as it was when the album first came out.

[@roland7599]

Still badass in 2023

[@ld-wl3jz]

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!

[@onpointcast]

Still listening to Shadows Fall in 2020?!?!

[@Barek666]

Ofc hahahaha

[@ciroiannaccone2414]

On Point Cast absafuckinlutely!!! Wish they would get back together!!! Awesome band!! And great live!!!

[@FRizzo-np3nu]

Hell YES I AM!

[@andreasdiehl252]

🤘

[@chuckjohnson5235]

If we can listen to Metallica in 2020, we sure the fuck can listen to Shadows Fall!!!!

[@Macthesauce90]

The Art of Balance was an amazing album!

[@Ajax9774]

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.

[@cne4ever35]

They are thrash, death, power, melodic,... all metal in one single band, thats why they are amazing!!

[@coreymckinney6064]

I've been listening to this song since 2003 and JUST realized it's about Meditation

[@daveyslatts7137]

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.

[@beatendownby]

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.

[@stevearbogast8556]

Still listening in 2023. With the new music coming out soon, we'll ALL be listening!!!

[@roryhart6584]

This album is sounding fresh as hell 22 years later

[@Tragicsocietyband]

We need more of this. Sooooo badasssssss

[@JarredFish-tz1rt]

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.

[@ILLRICARDO]

baggy pants and black t shirts those were the days!!! i miss shadows fall!!!

[@David-666gforbid]

Love these Lads!!🤘🤘🤘

[@davidgreenwood5663]

This is Awesome. Dual Guitars. Dual Kick Drums. Fucking off the charts.

[@braxtontodd4715]

why is this video not in the millions!!!!

[@jdkerrmusic]

SF is one of the reasons I opened my mind to Metal - great band!

[@DrRockso.]

Brian Fair, one of the best metal vocalist ever.

[@CiaranTrivium]

One of my all time favourite bands, really miss them!

[@lecorsaire2283]

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.

[@Bryan_Pureblood]

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.

[@cg_justin_5327]

2021 and still BLASTING Shadows Fall in my Challenger R/T at full blast!!!!

[@martinmiller5593]

this is thee band , riffs, drums, bass, vocals, perfection.

[@Hellwyck]

it's spelt *the*, not thee

[@rhettgiepert4022]

Definitely some Pantera influence, good shit.

[@danielmcdonald7989]

Just started listening to shadows fall, I regret nothing.

[@darrinrobinson5660]

awesome lead guitarist

[@bassman1983]

awesome sound, voice and quality

[@chipsndip85]

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

[@scottyj.2561]

Definitely one of my favs. from SF! #Thoughts Without Words ...shadows fall

[@DerangedXParaXBella]

This band is brilliant. Distinguishable songs are the best. I also love his dreadlocks. I can't stop staring at them

[@schnitzll78]

This is a band for the future of metal!

[@heavymetalmullet]

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!

[@pbldrum]

Bitner is such a mechanical giant! The dude's a machine. Love It!

[@mad7medieval7]

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.

[@ianbennett8955]

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

[@edes01]

Miss this band so much. So glad I got to see them live a few times in Australia.

[@Shekelno.7]

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

[@gabechavez6718]

one of the most talented bands!!! I'm very happy and grateful i grew up in the metalcore era. Before smartphones, shows were so much more lively because everyone was more involved and crazy. I still jam to them

[@herculesbrofister265]

How should astroworld have looked? 8 people died, but that wasn't involved or crazy?

[@danielmcdonald7989]

Can't stop watching this video!! This is seriously one of the best tunes I've heard in a while, fucking awesome guitar, those fills are outstanding and I fucking LOVE that riff at 1.52!! Just ordered the art of balance, can't wait to get it, I'm gonna get the war within as well.

[@antoninospezzano]

AWESOME VOCALIST.

[@lornaraine3570]

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

[@toemasmeems]

I think they are making an album in 2022! They mentioned it on social media 🙌🏽

[@georgelaird8703]

This needs justice, someone clean this mix, amazing tune like this needs it 👊🤘👍

[@chutestheman]

Bittner is a god man! That bass is killer!

[@TexasISPDude]

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

[@harlanmartin9964]

they are back!

[@richcooper645]

These guys need to get back together , Fucking love this , and they were fucking great live !!!

[@zonic26]

They are now, have played a few shows and just started working on new music

[@SanAndreas204]

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.

[@MeetLocalSingles]

3 out of the first 10 comments are from within a week of today, in 2020. Shad's fan-base could have, and by all means should have, been bigger; but who they *did* have are all clearly very genuine long term fans. I hope one day they are able to do another reunion tour. Of course though, most of the members are busy with seprate projects now, and I am happy for them that they continue to make music. How could I be anything but proud that Jon is now playing with Anthrax!? I would love to see them together again one day though however. Much love and thanks to all of you, the fans, the members of Shadows Fall, and all who have been involved in the touring and recording endeavours of the band. Without every single one of you none of this would have been possible.

[@mateusribeiro1985]

Essa banda NUNCA deveria ter acabado :(

[@victors4786]

Voltaram! Não sei se são os mesmos integrantes.

[@exitenter4059]

Big fan miss you guys always !!!

[@Sybex82]

Old but sweeeeeet🤘🏾 hopefully they come with new album 🤘🏾

[@kevinthompson6986]

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

[@Sybex82]

🤘🏾Yeah kick-it oldskool 🤘🏾 glad that they are back

[@shomoaboftherisingsun1486]

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...

[@nenofalletta]

I had a dream that I made a mix video of Shadows Fall for my grandmother.

[@zahirudinaznan9917]

She'd be proud of you

[@ConsistentlyInconsistent21]

Fuck yeah...

[@CelestialLarrivee]

Beyond classic and perfection

[@DraculaXHunter101]

[@bitcoinkong2970]

Still great to this day new bands can't touch this greatness.

[@jaydennis1999]

2002 was an important year for metalcore. You had Shadows Fall, Killswitch, and Atreyu all put out nasty and raw material \m/

[@revive0the0alive]

And don't forget All that remains & bleeding through as well!

[@117tvirus]

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.

[@sybilcollins8777]

I love this song ❤

[@monkeykid797]

They have already been considered the kings of heavy metal before.

[@Adzyman1]

This video is amazingly simple. Its a dark room, a camera, a few instuments and some amps. Song is AMAZING though.

[@kirkbuckley976]

You're BACK! Come to Dallas! 🤘

[@WrathUponEden]

one of my favorites! we are majorly influences by these guys!

[@ktm133]

DAMN! THAT SOLO KICKS MAJOR ASS! best metal! metal for life! never stop headbanging!

[@nowsuckmysock5247]

a great group,i like their thrash metal rythms,i love old school genres and they mix them with modern music,remarkable:-)

[@desunz]

this is one of my new favorite bands. i love the buddhism-inspired lyrics combined with the hardcore metal

[@Lucikun]

Great song from arguably my favorite metal album of all-time. Bought the album the day it came out, great stuff. Not digging their newer stuff too much, but they made 2 classics that I will always love...The Art of Balance and The War Within.

[@AamKenthir]

Hello from 2024 and only balance will elevate us higher 🤘

[@erinannbrady]

OMG WHO COULD HATE KSE??!?!?!?! :'{ LOVE TO YOU BROTHA FOR STANDING UP FOR KSE AND ALL THEIR FANS!!

[@Witch-King4666]

Yup

[@Prog4Prog]

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 !

[@bguzewi0]

Man, one of the first live shows I ever went to was Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying.. and some other bands I don't remember. This was all the way back in 2003. But they killed it.
