NIGHTSHADOW returns in 2021 to offer up a slab of infectious strong-hearted power-punching metal from their forthcoming full-length album Strike Them Dead to follow their 2017 self-titled debut EP. The album is due out May 7th and in lead up to its release, the band is sharing their first single “Ripper“. The track is a story from the point of view of the malice mind of Jack The Ripper. It features a full-on shred fest of pure power metal with some neoclassical guitar influence.
Make sure to listen to the new single below!
The band states: “We are very happy that this album is finally seeing the light of day. It’s our first full-length album and it’s been in the works for a couple of years, so it’s exciting that it is finally done. We got killer artwork for the cover, great production, and it sounds awesome. For a small band like us, having a debut album that looks and sounds as good as it does is really exciting! From the first song to the last song, it’s high-energy, it flows really well, it’s just non-stop. We can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Unleashing the rhythmic beasts with fast, aggressive, and heavy melodic passion, NIGHTSHADOW brings unforgiving committed focus to epic power metal with the rich, powerful, dynamic force in the vocals of singer Brian Dell; thunderous, exhilarated energy of drummer Sean Woodman; dominating, double lead shredding magicians on guitars Nick Harrington and Danny Fang; rounding out with the crushing, methodical thumping of bassist Chris Bader laying a secure concrete foundation.
Fast, aggressive, powerful, and loud, NIGHTSHADOW‘s new album Strike Them Dead features 10 relentless tracks riddled in classic, power, and thrash metal influences. From start to finish, the album showcases their brilliant harmonies, along with a medley of guitar shedding from band Axe-men Nick Harrington and Danny Fang.
For fans of STRATOVARIUS, HAMMERFALL, GAMMA RAY, HELLOWEEN, IRON MAIDEN, and DIO, NIGHTSHADOW‘s Strike Them Dead is awaiting to be added to album collections as of May 7th, 2021.
