The band started out as a Aftershock side-project (with 3 out of its 5 members) and got their name from an underground comic series. Shadows Fall got their start by opening for such famous acts like Cannibal Corpse, Death, King Diamond, Misfits, and many others.
The War Within is one of the top-selling releases ever on Century Media Records with over 200,000 copies sold.
Zeuss (producer of the band's albums from 2000 to 2009) has once played in a band with a bassist Paul Romanko. Zeuss is unofficially considered to be the sixth member of Shadows Fall.
Wrote and performed the "Fury of the Storm" (3:37) for Rob Van Dam's introduction/theme music on WWE Wreckless Intent.
Shadows fall(暗降)是一支美国新浪潮金属乐队,虽然他们的音乐有时候和以哥德堡和瑞典居多的死亡金属非常相象,比如被大家认为In Flames的影子,他们还是在Massachusetts得到了认可。1996年两位吉他手onathan Donais和Matthew Bachand 创建了乐队,次年夏天,队伍有扩大了,增加了歌手Phil Lebonte,贝斯手Paul Romanko以及鼓手David Germain。
