"Shards" fan reactions

What did you think of Blood of the Fallen's new single, "Shards"? This is what some fans thought! 


@FartherAwayEv
The new single "Shards" sounds so dark and haunting. The guitars are heavy, giving the song an industrial feeling. The vocals are perfect, as usual. This band has so much potential and I know they'll make it far!

I really like the melody and the way the words flow with it. It's beautiful.
[My favorite line is] "I don't belong to you." This lyric describes me; it says that I'm my own person and I don't belong to anyone. It was a great line to end. 
 

Very Cool!!! My favorite part is the guitar riff that comes in at the 2:34 mark. Because it stands out AND it reminds me somewhat of my style of guitar playing. I Really like their drums and guitar in this. 

The lyrics are very nice and what else do I say? The song is AWESOME! :-) 
"I can't repair myself if the pieces are on your shelf."  Because it shows people care about you so much that they are willing to stick by you.
I would recommend this song to everyone that is a fan of hard rock.

@MsDavilla
OH  MY GOD! THIS IS FUCKING PERFECT! I've waited and counted the hours... Loved, loved, loveeeed!
 
The sound is great... I mean, they really knew how to adapt the lyrics into the instruments. It's a sentimental song and strong, too. 
 
I really like the song, I'm a lyric buff and the lyrics in this song are deep and flow.  "I've burned those memories, you live in my thoughts and haunt in dreams." Kinda reminds me of Evanescence lyrics.                                        
I can't wait for new music from these guys. 
 
I liked the cool rocking instrumental suddenly changing to a slowed down and peaceful tone. It was kickass and beautiful. I think the song shows a more gentler side to them in a way, and it still fits as it keeps the awesome rockness still.
                                             
Stephanie Victorino
I think "Shards" is an awesome song. Jimere has an amazing voice and I love the breakdown. Everything in the song works so well together that it's hard not to get it stuck in your head.
 
It's so catchy.. and badass. 
 
Is a great song!! I like the sound...
The singer...he had a beautiful voice. 
"I've burned those memories. You live in my thoughts and haunt in dreams." is a great phrase. 
I really liked this band... Is very good :D

 
It's really gorgeous <3
Awesome band! They deserve you interest of them ;)
I'm not metal fan lot but it's music that touches my feelings and my memories.  With beautiful music I remember my memories.  With music I can build my world 'cause it's the best parts.  
Really, it's awesome and I downloaded "Shards" and repeat it again and again.
 
I like the lyrics. The part where he said, "I'll never forgive myself" then "I'm so afraid" I spaced about and thought about my best friend who's going away for a while..
 
@Roseberry89
 Love it! And Jimere's voice is amazing! #bloodofthefallen                                               
 
Elise VanBergen
I really like the beat, and the vocals, aaaaand the guitar riffs are pretty badass, but I LOOOOVE the lyrics. The whole song is amazing! :)
I really like the second verse,
"My heart is out of place.
All I feel for you is hate.
I can't repair myself if the pieces are on your shelf.
Pieces I cannot mend." The way it's written is really beautiful and interesting, very relatable. Excellent song!! I hope they keep up the good work!!                                           
 
It's such a great and professional song. Love how the chorus begins.  In my opinion, the chorus should be the most important part of the song and Blood of the Fallen knew how to do it with a great lyric.
"I can't repair myself if the pieces are on your shelf." I really don't know how a person from this planet could write that ahaha! I think it's really deep, emotional, and great the figurative way they mean.                                                       
BOTF keep going that way and give these pieces to the world! ;)
 
I really like the singer's voice. I love how the song is heavy and has double bass, but doesn't have any screaming. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE scream. But the softer vocals and the heaviness of the riffs and drums make a really nice contrast. Also makes it radio friendly if ya know what I'm sayin' ;)
I like the contrast of the singer's softer voice and the heavy guitar riffs and double bass.          
                                                            
I like it! Sounds good! *__*
The melody is nice! And the song is quite soft (I mean there's not growl or stuff like that) so it's quite calm and that's cool! And the voice of the guy is pretty. I like this kind of voice :3
I think I'll have this song on my iPod ^___^
Well, there are 3 things I like in music, the melody, (it should sound good to me), the voice, and lyrics :) First two are really cool ^^
AWESOME LYRICS TOO OMG I LOVE THIS SONG :DDD
"I am so afraid of fate
I don't belong to you"
I like this part, because fate is like destiny, isn't it ? And that means something for me.
"I've burned those memories
You live in my thoughts and haunt in dreams."
Something personal for me too!


They keep getting better and the drums and guitar are awesome.
I love the sound in this song. Great musicians, Blood of the Fallen sounds great. (:
The lyrics and vocals are good, and they sound very good. If you ask anything in particular, I would say drums. Awesome!

NEW SINGLE--- "Shards"




On May 26th 2013, Blood of the Fallen have released a new song, "Shards".  It is available for free download on Bandcamp. 



Lyrics~

Shards left in my hands
An aching from my past
I'll never forgive myself
For believing in someone else
I've come apart again

I am so afraid to break
Each time I fall
In front of you
I am so afraid of fate
I don't belong to you

My heart is out of place
All I feel for you is hate
I can't repair myself
If the pieces are on your shelf
Pieces I cannot mend

I am so afraid to break
Each time I fall
In front of you
I am so afraid of fate
I don't belong to you

I've burned those memories
You live in my thoughts and haunt in dreams

I am so afraid to break
Each time I fall
In front of you
I am so afraid of fate
I don't belong to you

Fan reactions to BOTF

Ever wondered what BOTF fans thought of Blood of the Fallen? Read below to find out!
 
 


     Well, I think they have good lyrics, melody, sound and of course meaning (something more than just good sound.) And the guys have obviously put a lot of time, effort and soul into their music. My favourite songs are Chasing Your Voice and UnderneathChasing Your Voice because it was the first song I heard from them and I liked the lyrics… and I started listening to their other songs. Definitely my favourite song is Underneath. The sound and lyrics are amazing. I am a lover of great lyrics, but they do not always have to tell a literal story. Some of my favourites simply evoke a feeling. Well, I think they have great music and a great future.

     I think that they are very original.
 
     The BOTF EP is pretty awesome! I really like Chasing Your Voice.     
     They're a bit different than other male-fronted bands, because the way he sings is really... wonderful! Like, his emotion and there's something about his voice...the way he's singing...it clicks with me better than a lot of other bands.  They're a really cool band who's created an awesome, interesting sound :)

     My favorite song is Underneath: I like the heavy riffs and drums and just the way the whole song comes together.
 
@Octopus8321
     It has good lyrics and I love the sound ... My favorite songs are Chasing Your Voice and Underneath... :D
     Chasing Your Voice is the kind of song that calms me down and drugs my soul. It makes me feel like I can scream for eternity ... and that I can pursue everything I want. It makes me feel that what I want is closer and I'm ready to take it.
     Underneath has the best sound. And it makes me think about my truths and fears. And how my fears help me to be brave...."I'm not gonna fade. You're only feeding my light."
     The band has a good style, good musicians, originality, melody, good lyrics and a nice name. Perhaps more interviews, shows, interaction with fans, promotion out of Canada...probably this and more is coming. People need to hear and know more about Blood of the Fallen! ;)

@filosofiaceci
     I think their music is fresh, different from what has been heard lately. This song is my life writing in a letter.
 
     I just like the way Underneath flows, musically. I like how they harmonize on the vocals, and the lead guitar sounds really cool. I like the lyrics too.  For a debut EP, Havoc is really good. Their music is growing on me and I can't wait to hear more. Would really like to see them in concert! 

     The dude's got a good voice.  Sweet Drums and guitar at the end Of the Underneath clip. Open the Sky is pretty sweet. They are a good band. Definitely see them having a devoted following.

     I love their music :D It's like my calm-down music if I'm stressed or upset I guess :P They're a great band. I quite like Underneath because it sounds epic & dark :D And I like the lyrics. And then of course I love Chasing Your Voice :D I just like the heavy guitar/drum sounds 'cause it's all like DUN DUN DUNN!! lol xD But I also like the lyrics a lot :)

@AiYoshida29
     BOTF's music is insane (in a good way). They sound different from all the other rock bands I have listened to .. The singer's voice blends well with the music. I think he really has a good singing voice. I feel the intense emotions pouring out from him every time he sings.
     BOTF deserves to be more popular (:
     My favorite is Open The Sky. I can listen to it over and over again because I can somehow relate to it. And I really love the melody of the song. I'm looking forward to more songs from them. They should keep on making great music! An album soon, maybe? (:

     My favorite [track] is Underneath.  The instrumental is quite catchy.  Love the guitars.  Open The Sky is a good one, too.  Great band, catchy tunes, awesome music! Hope for more BOTF!   
 
     I love songs that make me cry cuz they're beautiful.  The lyrics are amazing.   I love the lyrics and the music... Chasing Your Voice is just so amazingly beautiful.
     In Deep Waters, I especially love "Take it all, take it all, but you can't take my soul. Take it all, draw my blood, but you can't take my soul." And why I just love them so much is that they are just a wonderful inspiration to me.
 
       I like them 'cause I found them through EvClub :D I heard Chasing Your Voice and I fell in love with the song. I was kind of inspired by the 8bit/synthy bit mixed with the heavy guitars. I really like the cleanness of the vocals against the guitars and the chorus lyrics are really catchy.
 
@EvStorm      
     My favorite song is Chaos: Most of the time it applies to the situation I'm in.  And it's just fucking awesome.  I like the overall feelings that the songs project. The actual music is original and awesome.
     I think it's awesome that we finally have a good Canadian artist (especially being so near me :D)
 
     I think the band is amazing, I enjoyed very much the sound as the lyrics of the songs. My favorite song is Deep Waters.  And I like BOTF because ....... do you know when we want to listen something different from what we've listened to... and don't know what? It was how I was feeling..... before I  knew this band. I knew that I would vitiate since the first song I've heard. Yes!  The theme they use in the lyrics ...... I identify a lot with this.
      I wish them all success, because so much talent should be recognized. .... And they will be!
 
@Gotta_Love1D_
OMG THAT SONG IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS MAKING ME EMOTIONAL. IT IS SO DEEP!!!!!!! :'O
 
      I think they should have more fans, 'cause they're AWESOME. Everything I listened to, I just LOOOVEEEED! Currently, you are my addiction. I love your songs 'cause they're an amazing band that deserves all the success of the universe. BOYS, Havoc on the Ocean Floor is just FUCKING PERFECT! I loved the band wholeheartedly.      They're a perfect band. Their songs are so deep and full of feelings. I love how they can make me feel fine Even when I'm not. They, literally, touch my heart and soul.  Deep Waters speaks a lot about what I feel and what I want. It's like they felt what I feel and posted it on this song. I just wanna thank them for existing and wish all the success to them.
