Solid Output from One of the Better Slayer Babies
My greatest criticism of this sort of band is when they play something that is indistinguishable in style from another band. Slayer could have written, and performed any of these songs because Shadow’s Fall plays Slayer’s style. Thus, Shadow’s Fall might as well have been a Slayer cover band. There are a few negligible differences, but for the most part they are negligible. For example, the style of vocals is a little different from Slayer’s. However, many bands are doing this same sort of style with their vocals by mixing sung vocals with throat vocals, and then having still other vocals with some rasp, so that is not original nor special either.
If you are able to put all those things aside, Shadow’s Fall actually isn’t that bad of a band. If you want to know what Shadow’s Fall sounds like, I encourage you to buy an album like Reign in Blood by Slayer, and then if you like that, then Shadow’s Fall will probably be a good choice for you, as you will know exactly what they sound like. Some people just can’t get enough of this style. If that is the case with you, then this album is for you! Because for what it is, even though everything on it has been done before and it is completely unoriginal, it is well done.
