SHADOWS FALL boycott announced

[ASBO]

"Shadows Fall" was the name they picked back when they were a racist Oi band and wanted to use hip slang for darker people, "shadows," in a negative context. When they got the wisdom of the almighty buck, they elected not to change the name, because "it's kind of funny that no one knows what it meant."

HAHA. I don't think anyone's going to believe that. If anything, it might make racism trendy amongst modern metalheads. Well more trendy I suppose. Also, I think you may have posted the wrong link.

That's funny but the problem is that Shadows Fall grew out of a leftist vegan HC band called Overcast, and that band has a huge cult following among the hoodie wearing karate-kicking pit types. A pity. That band needs to die and soon.

I read somewhere that this band started off as a Christian Metalcore band.

[Humanicide]

doesnt matter anyway.

That's more or less what I thought. The be-dreadlocked jewish singer is a dead giveaway, of course...
