Shadows Fall

It's early, but see what Brian Fair has to say about the recent development.

Set sail on the heavy metal cruise ship.

Stellar lineups at the start of the millennium.

Time flies, but quality records get remembered.

Just before they head to Europe for a series of shows and festivals across the pond, Hatebreed have announced a North American tour with Shadows Fall, the Acacia Strain and Battlecross that launches in September. The first batch of dates are below, with more to be announced.

Hatebreed's new album, 'The Divinity of Purpose,' will be released Jan. 25 in Europe and Jan. 29 in the United States, and now the band has announced a headlining U.S. tour kicking off in late January.

Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner will be unable to perform at the 2012 PASIC (Percussive Arts Society International Convention) due to a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The band is currently on a short break from their headlining tour with God Forbid, Thy Will Be Done and Trumpet the Harlot, but Bittner assures fans that he will return to the road.

Shadows Fall‘s much anticipated new album ‘Fire From the Sky’ is set to drop on May 15, and Loudwire has an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the band in the studio with producer Adam Dutkiewicz.

Many are still unfamiliar with the band Times of Grace, but almost everyone knows the band's predecessor; Killswitch Engage. The hard rock/metal outfit features Jessie Leach and Adam D. of Killswitch and they recently added bassist Matt Bachand of Shadows Fall to the roster.
