Shadows are an international band with members from Germany and Sweden that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Miseria" which will be released in August.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album along with some black metal screams a few seconds later. Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to thme.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the Swedish style.
One song also adds in a brief use of clean playing along with a couple of the tracks also being long and epic in length, spoken words can also be heard briefly as well as some of the faster riffing also adding in a small amount of tremolo picking. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, occultism and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion Shadows are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As Above So Below" "Spring Sleepwalker" "A Seance" and "Unnamed Sorrow". 8 out of 10.
