| What
can be said about band is that they have a different approach when
it comes to the mix of vocals and music together. Being new to this
type of style of music it was ear catching and thought provoking.
SHADOWS DANCE started by Dimitris (guitars) in
1998 with hopes to start a symphonic death metal outfit, but with
progression with sound the death component subsided and made way
for more atmospheric elements that make SHADOWS DANCE
original. Offering cathedral like tones varied with techno beats
along with choir like vocal chant arrangements give listener something
fresh to hear. Licking The Limbs Of Abyss gives insight
to one of the many sides of SHADOWS DANCE musically.
Band excels lyric wise bringing more clarity to musical approach.
Deep-rooted atmospheric dwelling enters the beginning of Swathe
Me Into Illusions bestowing the gift of emotion, as music takes
on a life of its own. Melodic vocals enhance what SHADOWS
DANCE seems to lack in areas but is eager to make way for
a distinctive resonance when viewed more closely. Been labeled atmospheric
metal with symphonic elements band shows something other bands of
their kind desire to achieve at their level. Composition at its
best if done well with words that convey fundamentals of sentiment
within music. A Quatrain For The Damned
album shows seriousness of band that is going to travel to new places
with the realms of the shadows itself. Well done.
