Shadows Fall lines up short spring outing

March 21, 2008 07:03 AM
Thrash metal outfit Shadows Fall has lined up a spring headlining tour as the band continues to support its most recent studio release, last year's "Threads of Life."

The two-time Grammy nominees will kick off the two-week outing April 13 in Buffalo, NY. The trek will hit 14 cities--with no off-days between shows--and includes an April 18 appearance with fellow metal acts Unearth and Otep as part of radio station WSOU's 60th Anniversary celebration in Sayreville, NJ.

Following the headlining portion of the schedule, the band tackles an April 27 slot at Worcester, MA's 10th annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. The group's complete schedule is included below.

The Springfield, MA-based band is supporting its major-label debut on Atlantic Records, "Threads of Life," which surfaced last April, netting the group its second Grammy nod for the disc's first single, "Redemption." The song spent 12 weeks in the Active Rock Top 40, according to a press release.

The album's second single, "Another Hero Lost," peaked at No. 40 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Chart. Both songs are streaming at Shadows Fall's MySpace page.

The metal quintet, which formed more than a decade ago in Springfield, MA, received its previous nomination for the song "What Drives the Weak" from its 2004 studio set, "The War Within."
