Shadows Fall: 30 Years of Metal Fury Returns Home

Celebrating three decades since its formation, metalcore band Shadows Fall is set to perform in their founding city of Springfield on July 18th. The concert will take place at the Aria Ballroom within MGM Springfield, with showtime scheduled for 7 p.m.

This performance marks a significant return for the band, which was established in Springfield in 1996. It falls on the anniversary of Springfield's official Shadows Fall Day, a designation made last year when the band previously opened for Lamb of God. Their journey began in the late '90s underground metal scene.

Over their 30-year career, Shadows Fall has released seven studio albums and earned two Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance. The band credits their longevity to staying true to their musical vision, rather than chasing trends. This ethos continues as they prepare a new album.

Frontman Brian Fair described the forthcoming record as "very heavy and very angry," reflecting a musical shift as the band members mature. The July 18th concert will feature a blend of fan favorites and new tracks, promising an intense live experience. Tickets are available through MGM Springfield's and Shadows Fall's official websites.
