Hailing from Philadelphia, PA,
SHADOWDANCE was formed in the late-'90s by guitarist/songwriter Carlos Alvarez
with Jason Fraticelli (drums), Brad Pondish (bass), and George Eliassen
(vocals) to craft a timeless brand of powerful metal infused with progressive
and atmospheric elements. Crushing riffs, blinding speeds, exotic textures, and
classical melodies are only a few of the tools utilized. Always pushing
boundaries, SHADOWDANCEdeftly takes this core and twists in subtle hints of
everything from black metal and old school thrash to '70s-styled hard rock. A
truly seamless blend of heaviness and aggression, speed and epic bombast—and
nowhere is this more evident than on their multifaceted debut recording,
Ageless, which was originally released in 2000 to international critical
acclaim.
Featuring 11 songs in just under
an hour, Ageless is a musical journey exploring the light and dark in us all,
effortlessly shifting gears from the catchy mid-tempo groove and commercial
appeal of "Gilded Cage," the gargantuan-riffed but grandiose and
uplifting title track, to the furious-but-focused power thrash of
"Hollow," and finally the epic nine-minute closer
"Forever"—the ending of which propels the listener through eternity
at breakneck speeds. Showcasing SHADOWDANCEat their best, expressing powerful
songs with incredibly memorable melodies, every composition is masterfully
imbued with its own personality and flair. No two songs sound alike, yet there
is a common stylistic edge that links them. Lyrically, they weave intricate
stories based on the duality of life—stories that anyone can relate to.
Ageless is a re-envisioned
presentation of the original self-released edition from 2000. Re-recorded
almost entirely from the ground up (only the original drum tracks and some
keyboards were retained), guitars, bass, and most importantly lead vocals—the 2000
recordings had to make use of a last-minute session vocalist—have been
completely redone. At last featuring the originally intended singer, George
Eliassen, whose undeniable talents expertly project the wide range of emotions
that SHADOWDANCE's music represents. The album also features a number of
notable guest performers, including John Yelland (Judicator, Dire Peril), Jon
Phipps (Moonspell, Angra, Amorphis), Tony Sannicandro (Job for a Cowboy), and
Matt Hodsdon (Chaos Frame, Noble Beast), amongst others. With a brand new mix
by Alvarez, stunning mastering by Brett Caldas-Lima (Ayreon, Devin Townsend,
Cynic, etc.) at Tower Studio, and even all-new artwork, Ageless has finally
achieved its true form—how it was meant to be experienced all those years ago...
