You gotcher metal bands and then you gotcher Rasta bands and seldom do they met - except in the case of Massachusetts-based Shadows Fall, which mines Rastafarian culture for lyrical content. They've been at it since 1995, producing seven studio albums, three compilations and a couple of video albums. The most recent is the just-released Fire From The Sky. They'll bring tunes from that project to Phoenix Hill on June 2, along with Trumpet The Harlot, Howitzer and Ilatatime. We recommend that you not attempt to honor Rasta in the usual Jamaican fashion at the club. Tickets will set you back $15
