Fire from the Sky by Shadows Fall
Fire from the Sky is the seventh and most recent studio album by American heavy metal band Shadows Fall. The album was released on May 15, 2012. The band released the title track as the first single on March 28, 2012, and the opening track, "The Unknown", as the second single on May 2, as well as a lyric video for the song. About a week later, on May 10, the official music video for "The Unknown" was released through Vevo. The video features the band playing in an abandoned warehouse. The album debuted at position no. 38 on the Billboard 200. It also debuted at number 85 in Canada. Themes explored in Fire from the Sky include the apocalypse, chaos, doomsday, and the supposed events that may occur at the end of 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar.
To set the tone for their romantic third album, Nashville’s Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney released “Speechless” to fans as an early single. A starry-eyed tribute to the feeling they each got upon seeing their wives at the end of the aisle (both men got married in 2017), it’s the sort of fairy-tale love song that’s destined to soundtrack wedding ceremonies and first dances. The country-pop singers explore their respective marriages throughout the rest of the album. "What Keeps You Up at Night” has the soft sway of a John Mayer song, while the Kelly Clarkson-assisted “Keeping Score” makes a case for minding the big picture through a relationship's challenges.
