Shadows Fall — singer Brian Fair; guitarists Jonathan Donais and Matt Bachand; bassist Paul Romanko; and drummer Jason Bittner — are back with a brand new song!
"Souls Devoured" is a straight up metallic anthem — the kind that band has been crafting with vitality and vibrance for decades. You're in for galloping solos, three-tiered vocals, massive melodies, and thoughtful lyrics.
The band shared the video for the track, as well.

Shadows Fall, who were at the forefront of the New Wave of American Metal scene that dominated the '00s, are back with a brand new song and a new label! The band has shared the new single "In the Grey." Watch the video HERE.
The band — singer Brian Fair; guitarists Jonathan Donais and Matt Bachand; bassist Paul Romanko; and drummer Jason Bittner— is also thrilled to announce it has signed with MNRK Heavy.
The song is classic Shadows Fall — galloping solos, riffs on top of riffs, three-tiered vocals, memorable, stadium-sized melodics, and introspective lyrics.
"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," states singer Brian Fair. "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."
He continues, "'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."
Fair finishes, "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..."
Scott Givens, MNRK's SVP of Rock & Metal, stated, "When you get the chance to sign a genre-defining band like Shadows Fall, you do it. We at MNRK are proud they have chosen to work with us as they enter the next phase of their career."
Brian: The last hair cut was 1993 it was really short then
but it's been about 19 years or so, and I don't do anything to keep it going, just
grow out in its own way. I just wash it and let it do its thing. But it does
get in the way like car doors, rolling over it with office chairs if I'm in an
office, just normal things that most wouldn't need to worry about haha.
Brian: It's because we still have something to say by
creating music. It's what keeps us going with the new ideas we come up with
after touring. We just have a lot more to say when we write new music and going
back on the road with that new material playing shows again makes it possible.
But the time does take its toll on you over the years but that new material is
what keeps you going.
