Shadows Fall release new music video for the track “In The Grey”

Author Benedetta Baldin - 6.12.2024

In The Grey,” Shadows Fall‘s first new single since 2012, marks their comeback. With producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Hatebreed, Rob Zombie) back behind the decks, the band, who regrouped in 2021 after a number of years off, started working on their eighth studio album more than a year ago. This new song, released by their new label, MNRK Records, initially appeared on SiriusXM this week and appears to be the first taste of it. You may see the music video for this song, which was directed by Chris Klumpp (Like Moths To Flames, August Burns Red). In addition to this musical comeback, the band has scheduled a 20th anniversary show for their fourth album, “The War Within,” so they will be taking another trip down memory lane. Additionally, Unearth (playing “The Oncoming Storm”), E-Town Concrete, Jasta, Within The Ruins, and Brick By Brick will be performing at that concert.

We are incredibly excited to share our first new music in over a decade with our single ‘In the Grey‘ and are proud to announce our partnership with MNRK Music Group. When Shadows Fall first got back in the practice space to prepare for our reunion shows, we did not know if it would lead to new music, but the excitement of jamming together and all of the riffs that Jon [Donais] had floating around in his head led us in the direction almost immediately. The idea began flowing, the energy started building and new songs began taking form out of the the chaos. ‘In the Grey‘ is a full-throttle thrasher that contains all of the elements that are the bedrock of the Shadows Fall sound, but also adds new elements and approaches that developed in the recent past while we all explorer other musical avenues. Lyrically, I was trying to put into words and describe the physical manifestation of the weight and crushing power that can come with depression, that feeling that the weight of gravity is crashing down on you or being trapped in the dark waters of our own mind, trying to rise to the surface and take a breath. It can be an overwhelming and lonely place but there is always a light at the end of that tunnel and we always need to keep striving for a brighter day and escaping the grey. We want to sincerely thank everyone for the decades of support that you have given Shadows Fall and we cannot be happier to be back and rocking once again. Crank up ‘In the Grey,’ raise those horns to the sky, and bang your head as hard as you can. Stay tuned for more music and news soon…
