This song is so fucking heavy. I love it. I wish they would write more songs like this. I still like Threads of life, still no where good as previous albums. I really want to get Of One Blood now.
I think he played the lead cleaner here than on the album. I remember trying so hard as a kid back in 2000 to figure out those lead parts and not being able to figure out what he was playing. I even tried e-mailing them and asking for help lol ... I think Brian was cool enough to e-mail me back and said he'd forward it on to Jonathan. Now that I've got a better ear and am a better player I can tell it was super sloppy. But it worked and sounded awesome!
Damn dude, I remember watching this back when you were still under the name “The Optical Chemist.” If you do see this, I need to know after all these years, where did this footage come from?
Oh so you created all the video here? That’s so cool, I’ve searched the web for years trying to find more footage of this concert, makes sense why there’s nothing out there. Thanks for this video 👌
Of One Blood was the 1st Shadows Fall song I heard back in early 2004, such good memories getting into the whole Massachusetts scene, they don't make em like this anymore
I hope the new album has looser more sloppyish riffs like the old stuff. I think the newer stuff is way more cleaned up sounding and i really prefer the messy sound if you know wat i mean
herman li is great but sam is just a normal guitarist. and y did dragonforce come up on a shadows fall page? anyway shadows fall pwns most bands out there!
These lives, our chosen roles. Force-fed your values and your goals! Why? (You won't see) Truth! (Unity) Bound eternally! Why? (You won't see) Truth! (Unity) Bound eternally! Forgiveness for those who stray! Protection through unity! Forgiveness for those who stray! Protection through unity! Fuckin AMAZING song! Easily one of my favorites =)
@LambertTheShpshLion Mind that they've been playing together for a very long time. They know each others strength and weakness. They know what works and what doesn't. You can't have a better combination than that.
shadows fall is one of the few bands that hasnt made a single bad album. Sure their newer stuff inst as old school melodic death metal, but it still is the same formula. Of one blood, and the art of balance and incredible gothensburg-like albums, like in flames or dark tranquilllity.
Yea man Shadows Fall is one of the best bands out there today. If any of you aren't familiar with 'em, check out all their other stuff, cuz all their music kicks ass
I just bought their "Of One Blood" album a few weeks ago. it really grew on me and i started looking up some of their other stuff. god damn these guys are talented. all their songs are amazing.
