Shadows Fall Have Perfected the Art of Balance.
When one hears a band like Shadows Fall, they would usually associate them with Gothenburg, home of bands like At The Gates and In Flames. However, Massachusett's own Shadows Fall have the Gothenburg sound down to a science. With "The Art of Balance", Shadows Fall have effectively balanced clean and heavy, whether it be the vocals or the music itself, in such a way, that it is truly enjoyable to listen to. After hearing their sophomore effort, Of One Blood, I decided Shadows Fall was a band to keep my eye on. After hearing The Art of Balance, I knew my feelings about this band were right. In Flames fans that are disappointed with "Reroute to Remain" would be doing themselves a favor to pick up a copy of "The Art of Balance".Key Tracks:Thoughts Without WordsStepping Outside the Circle
