Shadows Fall are back! Last night (December 18th), the New England metalcore pioneers played their first show in six years, reuniting at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. The recent spike in COVID cases has been shutting down concerts left and right, but frontman Brian Fair and Co. were not about to call off their long-awaited comeback shindig, and they pulled out a career-spanning, 16-song setlist (see below) for the occasion. Unearth, Darkest Hour, Within the Ruins, Sworn Enemy and Carnivora — a blend of NWOAHM stalwarts, metalcore OGs and Massachusets peers — opened the proceedings, but night belonged to the headliners, of course. Watch fan-filmed footage above and below.
