SHADOWKEEP: 'The Hourglass Effect' Release Date Announced

September 9, 2008

British-American power unit SHADOWKEEP will release its third album, "The Hourglass Effect", in Europe on November 21 via the Dutch label Melissa Records.

Over the course of the last few years, the band — formed by guitarists Chris Allen and Nikki Robson — has had to deal with several setbacks. Allenand Robson have never, however, erred in their determination to continue what, in our here-today-gone-tomorrow music culture, essentially is an exceptional musical endeavour: to create dynamic, technical powermetal with melodies that stick in the mind.

On its forthcoming third album "The Hourglass Effect", an apocalyptic concept piece based on lyrics by new vocalist Richie Wicks, SHADOWKEEP has truly perfected its craft: blistering rhythm guitars and dual leads, soaring vocals, razor-sharp arrangements and a stunning production from THRESHOLD guitarist Karl Groom make for a fittingly aggressive yet sophisticated album that has all the trademarks of a future classic. For a taste of what’s to come, check out the new tracks "ShadowKeep" and "Riot on Earth" at the band's MySpace page.

SHADOWKEEP has already been confirmed to play at the second installment of Mario's Metal Meeting at club 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands on November 9.
