Shadows Fall Premiere Their First New Song & Music Video Since 2012

Shadows Fall have returned with their electrifying new single, “In The Grey”, marking their first fresh material since 2012. Following their 2021 reunion after a prolonged hiatus, the band has been hard at work crafting their highly anticipated eighth studio album. The record is being produced by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Hatebreed, Rob Zombie), who has a longstanding history with the group.

“In The Grey” debuted earlier this week on SiriusXM and is the first release under the band’s new label, MNRK Records. A music video for the track, directed by Chris Klumpp (Like Moths To Flames, August Burns Red), has now been made available for fans to enjoy.

Frontman Brian Fair shared his thoughts on the new track:

“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. 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.

‘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.

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…”

Outside of this musical comeback, the band are set to take another look down memory lane, having booked a 20th anniversary show for their fourth album “The War Within“. That concert will also feature Unearth (performing “The Oncoming Storm“,) E-Town Concrete, Jasta, Within The Ruins & Brick By Brick.
