Shadows Fall‘s fourth studio album, “The War Within“, is in line for another new vinyl pressing on January 12th. M-Theory Audio will once again be releasing the effort on a limited edition 20th anniversary pressing, this time on red/grey swirl vinyl, limited to 500 copies. You can pre-order it now through m-theoryaudio.com/store and Bandcamp.
Brian Fair, vocalist of the Boston metalcore outfit, commented:
“Still blows my mind that we are celebrating two decades since the release of ‘The War Within.’ This record changed everything for us as a band and to me was a major step towards creating the music we had always wanted to hear. It showcases everything we do well as a band and balances all of the influences we had at the time.
As an obsessive collector of vinyl myself, I am very excited about a new color variant of the vinyl reissue! This will be dropping January 12th, 2024 so pre-order now or plan on grabbing one at your favorite local record store. There is nothing more metal than literally carving the music into the surface of an object with a blade so grab a copy of ‘The War Within’ on vinyl and crank it as metal was meant to be listened to!”
The group will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of that record with a special headlining show at The Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on March 16th. They will also be performing live at the May 12th date of this year’s ‘Welcome To Rockville‘ festival in Daytona Beach, FL. Outside of that, work has been continuing on the band’s first new full-length album since 2012’s “Fire From The Sky“.
