Bio:

Northern California’s SHADOWKILLER are living proof that raw talent, ambition and honesty can still prevail in a very large metal music community. With their debut record Slaves Of Egypt, and a sophomore album on the way, they look to expand their world wide fan base with their new partners at Pure Steel Records!By aligning their unwavering dedication to the do-it-yourself work ethic with a signature sound, singer/guitarist Joe Liszt, bassist Dan Lynch, drummer Gary Neff, and guitarist Marc Petak have helped to define the landscape of today’s nor cal metal music scene. The backbone of their work? Stylistically progressive songs, suggesting a range of influences from Iron Maiden to Symphony X.

Album:

There are times when the Temple readers see Ol' Big Daddy here committing bloody massacres against some bands. But if you follow my words, you must remind that I always hunt down clones, just those bands that really have nothing to say, just speak again what was said many times before (and much better). But there are times when bands really got the real idea and put life in their work. And the North American quartet SHADOWKILLER really knows what I mean. Their second album, "Until the War is Won", is astonishing!It's a heavy and nasty way of playing the old and good Power Metal from the 80s (not what we call Power Metal nowadays, please), but with a new life and energy. It's melodic, aggressive and has a great amount of weight. Of course you'll feel their influences coming from bands from NWOBHM, as well (especially IRON MAIDEN), but they have a personal form of making their work. And it's extremely addicting!A very good sound quality is presented on the album. The instrumental weight is well balanced, being heavy and clean in equal parts, so you'll understand clearly what they are playing and what they want from their work.Their best moments: the aggressive, fast and melodic "Flames of War" (these guitar riffs are truly an addiction! But the songs presents some fine work on rhythmic kitchen as well), the great and heavy "Generation Strong" (fine and melodic guitar duos are presented here, and some vocals are astonishing, following the same style from Hansi Kürsch in his more aggressive moments, without being a clone from him), the hooking "A Price for Freedom" (very good tempos, great chorus and addicting riffs with some elements coming from Hard'n'Heavy Metal fusion. And perfect and melodic solos), the equally hooking "Survival", and the energetic and truly warming "We Stand Unbroken".A true tutorial of how to bring a musical style from the 80s to the present, and another album that Big Daddy here must buy at any cost!

Joe Liszt - Vocals, Guitars (Ancient Empire, Hellhound, ex-D-Train, ex-Sick Cell, Chain Control, Hard Road, ex-Rocka Rollas)

The backbone of their work? Stylistically progressive songs, suggesting a range of influences from Iron Maiden to Symphony X.

Album:

Fourth album.Somehow I'd never even tip-toed into SHADOWKILLER's catalog for some reason, despite being a huge fan of vocalist & guitarist Joe Liszt's “other” project ANCIENT EMPIRE. Well, I certainly look foolish now. The magic that intertwines the songs on the band's new Stormspell release, “Dark Awakening” is just as potent for sure. Perhaps that source of magic is the common denominator Joe Lizst, but I think it's really a sum of all parts. This feels more like a cohesive band in more ways than one, and that comes across clearly on this recording.Where as ANCIENT EMPIRE's releases have all centered around a concept approach, on “Dark Awakening”, SHADOWKILLER take a less complex approach overall, but only in that way. Obviously the vocals are the same, and the music has a similar overall style and feel. Much like on ANCIENT EMPIRE releases, the music here is just as intense and intricate. This is Power Progressive Metal at it's very finest. These are albums that I never seem to get tired of. “Dark Awakening” opens with a piano intro tinged with loneliness, before building and spiraling into the staccato drums of Gary Neff, and the dual attack of Lizst and Robert Edwards' guitars. Dan Lynch's bass admirably fills the low end with substance as well as the occasional flair of notes rising from the bottom. These guys are seasoned veteran players, and it shows. There's that aforementioned cohesiveness that powers through time and time again.Lyrically as well as musically, the songs are well crafted. Lyrics here take on more of a 'fantasy' theme rather than AE's futuristic scenario. While musically, things are more familiar to AE, taking on shades of SAVATAGE (“A Fate To Echo”) or W.A.S.P. , as well as healthy dual guitar doses of MAIDEN (“Jericho Hill”), DEEP PURPLE's Jon Lord organ (“Sea Of Conquest”) and other classic American and NWOBHM bands. Other highlights for me included “At River's Edge”,“The Witch On The Mountain”, “Darkness Of War”, and ”Fires Of Olympus” where the two guitar approach adds so much depth. But perhaps most memorable for me was Neff's drumming throughout. Despite the last AE album (“Wings Of The Fallen”) being more of a one man project for Lizst, I'm convinced that Neff contributed there too. In particular, the double kick drum work is very distinct.“Dark Awakening” is solid through and through. My only critique would be the sluggishness that bogs down each song slightly. I kept waiting for them to lose the restraints and really wail at full force. Thankfully, there's plenty of timing changes, that break things up pretty well. If classic Power Metal or Melodic or even just classic Metal is your thing, you're likely to really enjoy SHADOWKILLER. This is their fourth full length, and I can't wait to check out the rest of the catalog. Definitely keeping this one in rotation for the rest of the year, and I expect it'll be making a mark on my best of 2020 list. Highly recommended.
