Of One Blood is the second studio album by Shadows Fall, released on April 4, 2000. This was the band's first release on Century Media Records, featuring Brian Fair on vocals (replacing Philip Labonte). The album is the last to feature drummer David Germain. It is also their last album considered to be predominantly influenced by melodic death metal, with subsequent albums showing a stylistic change; guitarist Matt Bachand noted their later sound to be "more inspired in hard rock and thrash metal".[2] The album was remixed by Zeuss and remastered by Alan Douches for a reissue, which was released April 15, 2008. The re-release also contains new and updated artwork.
"Root Bound Apollo" was originally an Overcast song (Brian Fair's former band), but it was not released on any recording made by the band until 2008, on the compilation Reborn to Kill Again.
Re-recordings
Three songs from this album — "Fleshold", "Revel in My Loss", and "To Ashes" — were re-recorded from Somber Eyes to the Sky.
