5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-11-28

Implements traditional gothenburg thrash melo-death metal in a superb fashion! Need I say more?

3 out of 5 stars Not bad.......2001-10-03

The CD is good quality and the fact that it's an entirely japanese band playing gothenburg style death metal makes it a bit intersting, topped with the fact that the singer is female. All the songs are pretty solid, but are marked with extremely cheesy lyrical content, which I'm sure you can plainly see just from the song titles. If you have everything from In Flames, Soilwork, At The Gates, Opeth, Dark Tranquility, The Haunted, and you want more of something similar (especially to the first two mentioned), buy this CD. If you are just getting into the gothenburg death metal scene, go for something better, like opeth or really any of the bands I listed.

4 out of 5 stars Well played melodic death metal........2001-09-20

SHADOW is a melodic death metal band from Japan who plays in the style of early Dark Tranquility. The music is VERY well played. The guitar work is incredible and the drumming very good as well. My only complaint with this cd is that it is far from being original. SHADOW adds nothing to the genre of melodic death metal. I enjoy this cd very much due to the strong songwriting, but the fact that this has been done before and better is why it doesn't get a perfect score. If you like In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility and melodic swedish metal in general I suggest you pick this cd up.

3 out of 5 stars Power Metal Death.......2001-08-03

Well, hearing a promo copy, this album has to be compared to Arch Enemy. It's a female singer like new A.E. Also the melodic/heavy guitar like Arch Enemy. This is not bad stuff at all, it's got the power metal songwriting/lead guitar style with death vocals-something that seems to be a niche market. All these bands like Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork and Gardenian seem to be doing this. Shadow is a good album and I don't think a metal fan would be dissappointed, however it's been done better.....Arch Enemy (all,) Soilwork (Chainheart Machine.)

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Metal CD.......2001-07-31

Hey,

This is Shadow's debut album and lemme be the first to tell you how much this CD rocks. Every song is well done and has some of the best and most promising talent I have ever heard. These 5 people are direct from Japan and bring such an anger that their female singer holds some talent that is yet to be challenged in the metal realm.

The CD is rather short(tad over 40 minutes)but that does not take away from any quality. This is one of those CDs that you can listen to every song and not skip a single beat.

It is hard, rhythmic, and fun. Pick this ... up today!
