After the huge success with the album "The War Within" and the previous albums ("The Art of Balance", "With Somber Eyes to the Sky", "Of One Blood" and "Fear Will Drag You Down"), Shadows Fall certainly haven't gotten tired! In fact, they return with a new album "Fallout from the War".

This album, unlike the previous ones, I have to admit, I liked it immediately at first impact even if I noticed a change in "sound"... the first song titled "In Effigy" truly deserves to be listened to, then the other tracks in my opinion need to be listened to more "calmly" (not that Shadows' music is calm, on the contrary) the rest is up to you to say your piece, I've said mine. Happy reviewing to everyone!!!!!!!!!

Tracklist Lyrics and Videos

01   In Effigy (03:24)

You will never
Give the power
To the powerless
Your new ideal
Has Grown
Beyond your control
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distroting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes
Can you imagine
What is only
One step away?
The potential
Is waiting
Just beyond your grasp
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?
THIS FALSE ME
WILL BURN
IN EFFIGY!!!
It's so easy
To relax and wathch from afar
It's so easy yo give in to inertia
Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

02   Will to Rebuild (03:06)

Unleashed upon the shores (rain of terror)
The latent power unveiled
A cruel reminder (of our weakness)
Of our vulnerability!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Inner strength will always (never falter)
Overpower your neglect
Turn your back on us (the adandoned)
And we will rise alone!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Stranded adn forgetten
A blind eye tunrs away
Another failure for the fool
SUBMERGE THE IMAGE!!!
The spirit shines through the deepest of waters

03   Haunting Me Endlessly (03:43)

Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Escape is impossible, Indulge yourself in ignorance
Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze
Hung high above in a noose of sympathy
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting m endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself in ignorance
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I've been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself ignorance
Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Through the souls of ages
This deceitful elevation
Collapsing into rages
From corrupted meditations
What hs become?
The seeds I've sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I've been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen
Give yourslef away

04   Seize the Calm (02:54)

05   Carpal Tunnel (03:53)

06   Going, Going, Gone (03:08)

07   Deadworld (04:52)

Drowning yourself in a world of lies
Wandering lost, until the ego dies
Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will
We have become what we once most feared

The brilliance of the light's been dulled to grey
Denying our souls of the most noble truths
Trapped within and blined by youth

We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what's been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world

As progress paves the forest and paints the sky
Cities rise like caner, rive of life is dry
Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise
The seal is broken, final sign of our demise

We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what's been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world

Awake and rise
Redemption fires
Burn the lies
Redemption fires

08   This Is My Own (04:47)

09   December (05:07)

10   Mark of the Squealer (03:40)

11   Teasn', Pleasn' (03:15)
