SHADOWS FALL (USA)
AUSTRALIAN TOUR - FEBRUARY 2005
with very special guests
AS I LAY DYING (USA) & PARKWAY DRIVE (NSW)
SHADOWS FALL and AS I LAY DYING, two of the leading lights among the new breed of American metal bands, are set to visit Australia for the first time in February 2005, supported by Byron Bay’s brutal metalcore masters PARKWAY DRIVE.
SHADOWS FALL have watched both their fanbase and record sales explode in recent months with their new album The War Within - a venting of pent-up savagery and internalized rage that maintains the power, precision and passion of the group's previous three releases, including last year's masterpiece, The Art of Balance. Drawing from Swedish death-mongers like At the Gates and In Flames as well as the classic thrash of Slayer and Megadeth, Shadows Fall pound out progressive riffs and floor-buckling breakdowns while Brian Fair's acidic vocals simultaneously eat at all the evils of the world and convey a sense of unity and hope.
Shadows Fall have brought their acclaimed live show to some impressive stages recently, including Japan’s enormous Beast Feast festival, tours with the likes of Killswitch Engage, The Haunted, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Dillinger Escape Plan and the mightly Ozzfest, where they were heralded as the breakout band of the festival.
To top it all off, California’s AS I LAY DYING bring challenging arrangements, non-traditional time signatures and tons of vicious breakdowns to the mix. As I Lay Dying fall generally into the metalcore category, yet the term is a tad too generic. Their technical prowess soars on their new album Frail Words Collapse, and by all accounts, AS I LAY DYING put on a live show that demonstrates they have all they need to master a dangerous mixture of styles: brutally fast parts, melodic and quiet interludes, angry, desperate screaming, plus vehement mid-tempo mosh monsters!
