I&#8217;ll tell you that right now \u2014 it&#8217;s not me. Some other guys have another new band that they just announced not too long ago, so they&#8217;re obviously preoccupied doing other things. With the pandemic, there&#8217;s plenty of time sitting at home that I would think that there would be plenty of time to write other material too. But, hey, I don&#8217;t wanna point any fingers. I&#8217;m not gonna push any buttons. What I can tell you is that we tried to get together last year for a reunion. We have a date again scheduled for this year. That&#8217;s all I can tell you right now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;We&#8217;re not gonna say we&#8217;re still gonna be on hiatus, but we&#8217;re not gonna say we&#8217;re active either. We wanna just try to play a show. That&#8217;s the point of right now&#8230; can we play a show first, and then everything else that comes after that, like talk of writing a record or talk of writing an EP. We&#8217;ve already talked about this, we said, if anything, we would write an EP first. We wouldn&#8217;t write a full-length; we&#8217;d probably just four-song increments or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;[The reunion show] is not till the end of the year. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s even gonna happen. They asked us again. The date was held from last year, and they asked us again. We said we&#8217;re down for it as long as it can be done properly, and as long as there&#8217;s a chance to do that at that point. I mean, I really hope there is. By seven months from now, I really hope we can do at least a socially distanced show, or whatever, but if we can&#8217;t, it would suck. The one thing I don&#8217;t wanna do&#8230; I&#8217;ll be quite honest with you&#8230; I don&#8217;t wanna do a half-assed Palladium reunion show because of COVID just to do a reunion show, because what is the fucking point?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massachusetts metal band SHADOWS FALL have been on the sidelines since 2014, and while it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=85480"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":85483,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85480\/revisions\/85483"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/85484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=85480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=85480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=85480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
