Brian Fair (Shadows Fall, Overcast, Downpour) - Interview

The guys sat down this week for a chat with the legendary vocalist (and fitness guru) from Shadows Fall, Overcast and Downpour, the one and only Brian Fair. They talk about sports (with balls and discs of all shapes,) Brian’s long musical history, Derek groping Brian’s junk in years past, Phish, and the mechanics of what it takes to maintain a voice over the course of almost 40 years of fronting heavy bands. Be sure to check out www.shittalkreviews.com for all the reviews, interviews and instructions on the best way to plant your perennials. 00:00 Welcome00:40 Sports (flat, disc-like ball sports, round ball sports, oblong ball sports, etc.)02:56 Derek’s non-consensual gropeage, the return of Shadows Fall and new SF music06:00 New England Metal Fest07:10 Brian’s musical history08:35 What Brian’s listening to10:30 The Metal Hippy Workout videos14:05 Downpour16:00 Spirituality and lyrics18:50 Another Hero Lost21:10 Style choices and Melissa Cross25:25 When Brian “chewed through his own umbilical cord” (and how he got started singing)29:20 Overcast 32:32 New record label, Shadows Fall and the new school of label representation38:38 Wrap up #brianfair #shadowsfall #overcast #downpour #frenzied #metal #metalhead #vocalist #metalsinger #metalcore #metalvocals #metalmusic #heavymetal #deathmetal #metalband #deathcore #singer #vocals #music #metalheads #vocalcover #blackmetal #groovemetal #rock #headbanger #melodicdeathmetal #metalhippyworkout #anotherherolost #podcast #interview #bikesandbeards #highwaypalsDrop us a line!
