As many of you know, we have recently brought new lead vocalist Tom Davy into the ranks of Burning Shadows. Earlier this year we decided to “pull an Iced Earth” by simultaneously recording one brand new song and re-releasing some older material with Tom’s vocals. The result is the Oathbreaker EP.

We will be releasing this disc in September on CD as well as in mp3 format through the website. The mp3 format version will be sold at an extremely fantastic price (free). The CD artwork will be done by our longtime artist, Andraes Johansson.

The complete tracklisting will be revealed upon the release of the CD. Obviously, “Whisper Suffering” will be on the disc, since it’s been available to preview on burningshadows.com for several months now. The new song “Oathbreaker” may be familiar to those who have seen us play recently. However, we have made some improvements to the song since the last time we played it live. Without a doubt, “Oathbreaker” is one of the tightest, fastest, and most aggressive tracks we have ever recorded.

By this point, you’re no doubt wondering how we recorded a new song without a drummer. Simple: we recruited former DragonHeart (the band that became DragonForce) drummer Peter Hunt to lay down the drums for us. Working with Pete has been a great experience, despite the fact he lives literally half a world away from us. We raise our horns to him!

To get the most up-to-date news about the release of the Oathbreaker EP, we highly encourage you to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

You’ll be hearing from us again in September, brothers and sisters!

…

Musically, Burning Shadows are heavily influenced by Iced Earth, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and they play their instruments extremely well.

…

“Into the Primordial” abuses the word “epic.” All of the 10 tracks run anywhere from 5 to almost 9 minutes, except for the instrumental “Evenfall,” which is 2:40.

…

Track 8, “Sarnath,” gets a definitive “horns up” for its awesomeness at the 5:42 mark.

Now, this page lists all media posts sorted by category then date. It is much easier to find things now.

To make it more interesting, some new items were added: old promo photos, links to some old videos, and a section for flyers. More content will be added here, both new and old soon.

The new Shows page contains links to info for recent/upcoming shows and links to the complete Burning Shadows Show Archives.

The new Reviews page shows reviews grouped by album or show.

Show Review by Karl Hiller of www.KarlsMetal.com

The concert studio was a small room, maybe 18 feet by 18 and the walls were littered with band stickers and graffiti as well as the hallways leading up to it which gave it a musical anarchist’s decor. And it smelled like a bar with all the beer people brought. If you didn’t have any, they were happy to share.

…

Last but not least, was Burning Shadows. A band I had seen only once before, but never the less drew me 130 miles to see again. The first time I had heard them live, the sound system wasn’t quite right, unfortunately, but they were crisp and clear at the WMUC studio. Lead guitarist Greg Jones had been handling lead vocals and is featured on their album “Into the Primordial” While his vocals are adequate, he must have realised the band’s awesome sound needed something more. That they have found, in new lead vocalist Tom Davy who made his Burning Shadows debut performance at this show. His voice is melodic, powerful, and operatic in style. His personal flare and gesturing made a strong visual impression as well. And, thanks to Tom, KarlsMetal.com got its first radio ad. After Greg recognised me for having traveled so far to see them, Tom said, “and you have a website” as he handed the mike over to me to give a plug on air. Their songwriting is strong and original. The music is powerful in scope and diverse in character. Their showmanship is good, Tim Regan on rhythm guitar and Aaron El-Zeftawy on bass are especially lively performers. Torin Blatt on the drum set has focus and fun beating out the beats. The band opened with their seminal track “Second Son” and also premiered a new song which was as yet unnamed, but was, as I heard one fan describe it, in a word “epic”. An EP with new material is forthcoming.

Epic hails to Karl!
