SHADOWS FALL - Spinefarm Records UK To Release New Album
July 2, 2009, 15 years ago
Spinefarm Records UK will be releasing SHADOWS FALL's fifth full-length album, Retribution, on September 14th. The album will be issued a day later in North America on the band’s own label, Everblack Industries, which was created in conjunction with Warner Music Group’s ILG, Ferret Music, and ChannelZERO Entertainment. For more information on Everblack Industries, visit www.everblackindustries.com. The new album was produced by Zeuss (HATEBREED, MUNICIPAL WASTE), with vocal production by Elvis Baskette (INCUBUS, ALTER BRIDGE).
Singer Brian Fair commented on the band’s venture: “We learned everything from the ground up. We’ve gone through the independent metal world to the major label world, and have come to realize that, given the way things are now, it’s all about the band re-taking control of everything: music, business, ownership, publishing. Everything.”
The New England melodic thrashers called on design company Sons of Nero (UNEARTH, EVERY TIME I DIE, BRING ME THE HORIZON) for Retribution’s cover art.
Retribution track list: 'The Path To Imminent Ruin', 'My Demise', 'Still I Rise', 'War', 'King Of Nothing', 'The Taste Of Fear', 'Embrace Annihilation', 'Picture Perfect', 'A Public Execution', 'Dead And Gone'.
“With each album we’ve gotten a little more confidence to really let all of our influences show,” Fair added. “We’re unapologetic about the old-school metal and the 80s influence, as well as the thrash and the melodic death metal. There’s really no holding back when it comes to our songwriting. Once the floodgates open, we go all the way.”
