Massachusetts-based metallers SHADOWS FALL have issued the following:

Thanks to everyone that submitted your in-studio questions to us. There were so many good ones it was hard to pick just a few.

(See below) to check out the video of us answering your questions. Make sure you check back next week as there will be 2 more parts to this video series."

As previously reported, Shadows Fall are now streaming their new song, 'King Of Nothing', featuring LAMB OF GOD vocalist Randy Blythe, at their MySpace page.

Singer Brian Fair comments: “This song opens with my favorite riff on the record. It came out of Matt’s late night drunken riff bag, and the song built itself around the heavy vibe that it created. It is a four minute beat down!! The lyrics of this song are about the overwhelming self-medication of our world. There is a prescription for every mood these days, and people are turning into zombies. It's time to toughen up and face your reality, no matter how brutal it may be, otherwise you will just be reigning over a world of nothingness. The bridge features guest vocals from the one and only D. Randall Blythe aka Uncle Goddamn aka The Redneck Assassin of the mighty Lamb of God. Randy came down to the studio in VA to cook us dinner, and we put him right to work behind the mic. We layered his voice with Matt’s and myself to create the three part harmony from hell!!”

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 (September 15th) 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.
