Brian Fair

Brian Fair (born May 30, 1975) is an American musician from Massachusetts, best known as lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Shadows Fall. He graduated from Milford High School in 1993 and went on to study literature at Boston University.

History

From a young age, Brian Fair had always been known for his affinity for a wide range of music. In seventh grade he had his first visit to a recording studio after he and two friends won a radio jingle contest (sponsored by Mass Electric) with a Beastie Boys-inspired tune "The Energy Conservation Rap Song." In high school, he played bass and sang in a punk band called Frenzy that performed at local underage shows. In the summer of his sophomore year (August, 1991), Fair co-founded Overcast, an influential hardcore band in the Worcester music scene. While Fair was on vocals, Scott McCooe and Pete Cortese played guitar, Mike D'Antonio played bass, and Jay Fitzgerald played drums. Overcast's first 7", Bleed Into One, was released in 1992 through Exchange Records. The band's first full-length, Expectational Dilution, was released in 1994 and is considered a groundbreaking effort as many claim that Overcast are the pioneers of the metalcore scene. Their final full-length, Fight Ambition To Kill, was released in 1997. This release was followed by nationwide touring with Shai Hulud and Disembodied. Overcast eventually split up in November 1998.

No Remorse (Tokyo Blade album)

No Remorse is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Tokyo Blade, released in 1989 by the German GAMA Musikverlag sub-label Hot Blood Records. The album was recorded as a collaboration between guitarist Andy Boulton and the German band and label-mates Dead Ballerinas, with songs coming from both parts. The album was poorly promoted and the band fell apart after its release.

No Remorse was re-issued in 1989 with different artwork and amended track listing on Apocalypse Records in the USA. Another reissue, titled Eye of the Storm and including the bonus track "Sunrise in Tokyo", was released in 2008 by the German label Scream.
