SHADOWS FALL Signs With RAZOR & TIE

October 11, 2011

Razor & Tie has announced the signing of two-time Grammy-nominated metal act SHADOWS FALL to a multi-album, North American deal. The band entered Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts to begin recording its new album for a spring release. The group's seventh official studio record sees them reuniting with longtime friend, producer/engineer and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/TIMES OF GRACE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. Adam D., who has previously helmed the boards on albums by ALL THAT REMAINS, AS I LAY DYING, UNEARTH, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and EVERY TIME I DIE, is also intimately involved in the writing of the new SHADOWS FALL material.

Watch the band on Livestream.com Wednesday, October 12 at 5 p.m. EST and get a first exclusive look at the band as they begin the creative process of their new record.

SHADOWS FALL will continue to offer fans a fly-on-the-wall perspective of their recording sessions. Additional streams are scheduled for October 19 and November 9 at 5 p.m. exclusively on Livestream.com. The band will also turn the video stream on intermittently while in the studio.

"We haven't had this type of fire underneath us to make a record in a long time. I feel that with our new partnerships in place, as well as bringing Adam D. on board to produce, together, we've brought a renewed life to the band which will result in the best SHADOWS FALL record to date," commented SHADOWS FALL drummer Jason Bittner.

"SHADOWS FALL is very excited about our new partnership with Razor & Tie," adds SHADOWS FALL lead vocalist Brian Fair. "The music industry has been in such a constant state of flux these days, it takes a progressive approach and a willingness to rethink the antiquated business model in order to achieve the success we still long for and desire. Razor & Tie is a company that embraces this idea and understands what it takes to promote and support a band in today's marketplace. We are looking forward to working with a team that not only understands our band, but also has the knowledge and desire to help us achieve our goals."

"SHADOWS FALL has always been a band that tried our hardest to not be confined by the restraints of a single sub-genre of metal. We cover a ton of ground on this new album encompassing everything we have done musically over our career and incorporating new ideas into the mix. Our influences are an eclectic mix that cover the full spectrum of heavy music and it's always been our goal to combine those ideas into our own unique sound that is constantly evolving. The songs on this forthcoming new record reflect that goal to the fullest."

SHADOWS FALL's "Madness In Manila: Shadows Fall Live In The Philippines 2009" concert DVD/CD was released on October 25, 2010 via Everblack Industries/Ferret Music. The set includes over 60 minutes of footage that was shot on April 30, 2009 at the Pulp Summer Slam in Manila, Philippines as well as a live audio CD.

SHADOWS FALL's latest album, "Retribution", came out on September 15, 2009. The CD sold around 13,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 35 on The Billboard 200 chart. The effort was made available via Everblack Industries, the label SHADOWS FALL created in conjunction with Warner Music Group's ILG, Ferret Music and ChannelZERO Entertainment.
