Technical metal pioneers Shadows Fall have been added to this year’s Sounds of the Underground Tour. The band will play the final co-headline slot, alternating with already announced bands Chimaira and Every Time I Die and headliners Gwar.
“It is going to be another summer of insanity for the boys in Shadows Fall and we couldn’t be more stoked,” says Shadows Fall singer Brian Fair. “Not only are we looking forward to partying with our friends in Darkest Hour, Every Time I Die, Chimaira and Gwar, but also to check out some killer music at one of the summers most diverse festival tours. We are planning on playing a set that will include songs from the early days of Shadows Fall up to our new album threads of life and leaving a wake of devastation behind. So bust out the sun screen, put the beers on ice and get ready to rock cuz the Shads are coming back to town.”
Shadows Fall will be touring to support their new album Threads of Life, which came out April 3.
Other groups on this year’s Hot Topic Presents Sounds of the Underground Tour include: Job For a Cowboy, Necro, Darkest Hour, Amon Amarth, The Acacia Strain, The Devil Wears Prada, Heavy Heavy Low Low, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Goatwhore, This Is Hell, and 2 Cents.
