| | Shadows Fall Of One Blood CD Shadows Fall Discography of CDs
The 2008 reissue of Shadows Fall's OF ONE BLOOD boasts crisply remastered sound.
While Shadows Fall perfected their ferocious, technically sharp brand of death metal on later albums like 2006's FALLOUT FROM THE WAR and 2007's THREADS OF LIFE, OF ONE BLOOD establishes the blueprint on which the group's later successes are based. On cuts like "Pain Glass Vision" and "Root Bound Apollo," listeners will hear Shadows Fall's unique blend of thrash backbone, progressive metal precision, and classic metal influences (the dual guitar attack on many tracks recalls Iron Maiden or Judas Priest). Yet the double bass drum pummeling and the alternately growled and yelled vocals attest to Shadows Fall's place (and subsequent rise) in contemporary metal.
Recorded at Planet Z, Hadley, Massachusetts.
Shadows Fall: Jonathan Donais (vocals, guitar); Brian Fair (vocals); Matthew Bachand (guitar); Paul Romanko (bass guitar); David Germain (drums).

Of One Blood
 $13.55  
Like the heavy-rock giant Metallica, Shadows Fall climbed the ladder of success by proving its mettle in a live setting, out-performing and out-selling all comers on the second stage at the 2003 Ozzfest. The two groups share sonic similarities as well, and fans of pre-Bob Rock-era Metallica albums RIDE THE LIGHTNING and MASTER OF PUPPETS, in particular, will find a lot to like here.
Shadows Fall plays fairly straight-ahead old-school thrash, with a nod to the death-metal-influenced hybrid popularized by Pantera. The guitars and drums are huge, clean, and inhumanly tight, and low-ender Paul Romanko has a good handle on the Cliff Burton style of cutting delicate, melodic interludes with crushing bass riffs (particularly on "What Drives the Weak"). The production on both the electric/screaming sections and the acoustic/crooning passages is crisp and warm, emphasizing the band's enviable chops. Unlike many metal singers, vocalist Brian Fair is equally adept at throat-shredding and melodic singing, which affords the group a winningly dynamic palette.
This breakthrough band from last year's Ozzfest release their fourth album, produced and mixed by Zeuss, mastered by Alan Douches, and including ...

Of One Blood
$24.95
Many companies have issued compilations of out-of-copyright recordings (i.e. records more than 50 years old). The "Blowing The Fuse" series starts at the dawn of the Post-War R&B era in 1945, and will continue through until 1960! Bear Family selected the
Blowing the Fuse is a killer series of compilation CDs issued by Germany's premier archivist label, Bear Family. Subtitled "R&B Classics That Rocked the Jukebox," each volume is compiled by year. This one, covering 1945, hosts 26 tunes. What is immediately arresting is the sequencing here. The order juxtaposes performers like Sister Rosetta Tharpe ("Strange Things Happening Every Day") Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup ("Rock Me Mama"), the Four Clefs ("V Day Stomp"), Lucky Millinder ("Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well"), Louis Jordan ("Caldonia") and the Five Red Caps ("Boogie Woogie on a Saturday Night") in one segment. Most of these names are legends, of course, from Wynonie Harris and Count Basie to Ivory Joe Hunter to Helen Humes. ...
