Danger and Dissonance posted this review of Into the Primordial:

For those who enjoy metal, but have never given thought to power metal before, stop and take a look at this album. Unlike so many bands in the power metal genre Burning Shadows brings much new to the table. Each member does his own thing to create a unique sound. In “New Dawn Arise” the rhythm section brings some interesting surprises. Bassist Aaron El-Zeftawy plays an amazing, complimentary, and catchy bass fill in the beginning and end of the song, while drummer David “Warlord” Spencer plays a unique and unexpected drum beat pattern during the chorus. Guitarist Tim Regan and guitarist/vocalist Greg Jones rhythm and lead parts are just full of clarity and expression. All throughout the cd instances of musical brilliance are heard. Jones’ departure from typical power metal high pitched vocals works very well. His vocals pour out feeling and bring power metal down to a level that is both realistic and not over the top which can reach those who are not typical metal listeners. This way of singing stands out from all of the other cookie cutter male singers with high pitched vocal tones (most guys do not have a natural high pitched voice, their vocal center is in the middle). Samath has a great intro riff that automatically catches the listeners attention and ranks up there with some of the best classic metal riffs. In fact all of the riffs on this cd show pure musicianship. Definitely a band to watch out for.
