Escape from Shadow Island

Release date: May 19th, 2016

label: independent

Shadowrise is a Dutch band that plays a mix of extreme metal and melodic metal: symphonic, fast metal with both extreme and melodic vocals. For the record, this is a metal band, not gothic rock, and it is headbanging songs. Clearly, the band considers itself metal and they are not shy about it, so dive in and get on with the show. You can hear the whole EP below. Here's the official information about the band.

In Eindhoven, the metal capital of the Netherlands, Shadowrise is born; a symphonic power metal band inspired by heavy melo-death. With their upcoming debut EP Escape From Shadow Island, Shadowrise will release a storm on the metal scene as we know it!

‘This debut EP Escape From Shadow Island unmistakably shows this is a top act in the making.’ Lords Of Metal

‘By using both low and high pitch vocals in a rather short amount of time, a lot of dynamics are added, keeping the listener very much interested throughout, making them wish for more.’ ‘While the grunts by Roman Potasse make the music so much heavier, the golden voice of Laura brings the mix back to a balance.’ ‘Escape From Shadow Island is the title track of this EP and I have to say that you will be worn out and your neck will hurt after this song. The continuous blast beats by Joris Sevat keep you head banging.’

Metal Nation Radio

Taking inspiration from a wide variety of bands like but definitely not limited to Wintersun, Keep of Kalessin and Symphony X, the band was able to create its own sound. A melodic yet heavy approach to the power metal genre, with beautiful guitar harmonies and riffs, heavy blast beats, thundering bass, heavenly clean vocals and dirty grunts and loads of neo-classical influences added by Shadowrise’s Daniël Boomsma.

With two new band members, Laura Guldemond (Ayreon – The Theater Equation Choir, Robby Valentine) and Yordi Florax the line-up is complete. Their upcoming debut EP Escape from Shadow Island is recorded at Tomsterproject Studios late 2015. The record contains four tracks of epic power metal; catchy melodies, powerful vocals, blastbeats and beautiful orchestra. The online release will take place the 19th of May and will lead you to the world of Shadow Island.

Shadowrise is ready to take the world by storm!
