Shadows Fall – ‘Retribution’ Review
Posted on May 31, 2010 | No CommentsShadows Fall once again demonstrate that they are ahead of the pack when it comes to melodic heavy metal, and when an album this heavy manages to cram in killer hooks and melodies by the bucketful without ever once (well, maybe ‘picture perfect’) sounding like it’s aimed at the fickle MTV crowd you know that you’re in the presence of something truly special. A hard rock gem. -
