SHADOWS FALL Frontman: 'It Is Going To Be A Busy Year For Us'

January 11, 2008

Vocalist Brian Fair of the Massachusetts metallers SHADOWS FALL has issued the following update:

"It has been great to be back in Boston with friends and family to enjoy the holidays and ring in the New Year. After a few weeks at home resting and recovering from The Black Crusade Tour, it is once again time for SHADOWS FALL to mobilize!!

"At the end of February we will be beginning our Australian and Asian invasion!!! It has been years since we have ventured to the other side of the world to unleash the metal on our Australian and Japanese fans and this will also mark the first time we land in the Philippines.

"I couldn't be more excited to leave the snow and wind of Boston behind for some sun and fun in the land of Oz!!! We will be part of this year's Soundwave Festival tour and the line up is amazing, covering a wide variety of music and styles. From there we will head to Japan with our partners in crime in ARCH ENEMY. I have been waiting to get back to Japan for awhile so heat up the sake and chill the sapporos 'cuz the SHADS are coming back!!

"Then it is off to the Philippines for the first time. Playing in a new country is always an exciting prospect and I can't wait to check out the scene.

"It is going to be a busy year for us so keep an eye out. You never know when we may be in your neck of the woods. Till then swing by our website and our myspace for constant tour and news updates."

SHADOWS FALL recently received a Grammy nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" category for "Redemption", the first single from the band's newest release, "Threads of Life". This marks SHADOWS FALL's second Grammy nomination in the category, following the group's nod at the 2006 awards for "What Drives The Weak" off the Century Media release "The War Within".

The 50th annual Grammy Awards will be held at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Sunday, February 10, 2007.

SHADOWS FALL's overview of its years as a Century Media recording act (before signing with Atlantic for the U.S. and Roadrunner for Europe),"Seeking the Way: The Greatest Hits", was released in late October.

A SHADOWS FALL B-side from the "Threads of Life" sessions called "Stupid Crazy" is included on the "Resident Evil: Extinction" soundtrack, which was released on September 18 via Lakeshore Records. The film itself hit theaters on September 21.
