Shadows Fall are working on new songs

Boston-based metalcore outfit Shadows Fall went on hiatus in 2015, but they have since returned to the stage in December of 2021. The band will be onstage again this Saturday, May 27, as part of this year’s “Milwaukee Metalfest”.

Speaking recently on “The Jasta Show”, Brian Fair spoke of new music they have in the works:

I will finally say there are riffs that are turning into skeletons that might become songs. Now, what happens with them, where they go, we’ll see. But once we started jamming, we were, like, ‘What’s the point of doing this without writing new riffs?’ And we had to make sure they were gonna sound like Shadows Fall; we didn’t wanna come out of nowhere with something different, out of left field.

But so far, they’re coming together, man, and I’m stoked on what I’m hearing. So hopefully that’ll continue, that’ll continue on. But as far as dropping a whole record… Who knows? These days it’s different anyway. Shit, we can just drop a few random singles and then see where it goes. But I’m excited that we’re writing, that we’re doing things. And so far what I’ve heard has been amazing… I haven’t really committed, but we are finally getting our shit together and getting some riffs together.

We’re free and clear. We were luckily free and clear for a while, so even our last couple of records were done kind of on our own terms.
