Like garage rockers, new wave revivalists and neosoul singers, Shadows Fall would prefer to turn the clock back: The Massachusetts quintet's fourth album sets the way-back machine to 1986, the year that Metallica broke thrash metal wide open. The War Within commences with a classical-guitar passage, just like Master of Puppets, before going full blast with "The Light That Blinds." This dense labyrinth of fleet-fingered guitar solos and punishing double-bass drum salvos will appeal to metalheads who are already predisposed to their Eighties grind; others should give War a wide berth.
