"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.

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

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!
