SHADOWS FALL Sign U.S. Deal With ATLANTIC
December 10, 2005According to Revolver magazine, SHADOWS FALL have finally signed their long-rumored U.S. major-label deal with Atlantic Records (as first reported on BLABBERMOUTH.NET in early July). The Massachusetts-based band, who sold nearly 250,000 copies of their latest CD, "The War Within", in the United States, have fulfilled their commitment to Century Media Records and are said to have been in talks with the Roadrunner label about signing a deal for the European territory.
According to SHADOWS FALL singer Brian Fair, the band finally have a chance to spend lots of time writing their next album before heading into the studio. They've just chosen not to. "Last time, we wrote it all at once, and that led to a cohesive album, so we're gonna try to do the same thing again," he said. But not everything's the same. This time, the band is downplaying technical proficiency in favor of hooks. "Before, we'd combine a million riffs into these seven-minute songs that didn't have a great flow," Fair said. "Now, it's more about getting those riffs into a real structure that keeps the listener interested."
SHADOWS FALL's as-yet-untitled new album will be co-produced by Zeuss and is tentatively expected late summer in the U.S. via Atlantic.
