The resurrected metal giants Shadows Fall have unleashed a video for their new single, “In the Grey.” The track marks the band’s first song under their newly signed MNRK Heavy deal.
Vocalist Brian Fair comments:
“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…”
Scott Givens, MNRK’s SVP of Rock & Metal adds:
“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.”
