SHADOW GALLERY: new album "Digital Ghosts" to be released October 26th (Europe) and November 3rd (North America) via InsideOutMusic; launch cover artwork!
SHADOW GALLERY, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, have returned with their 6th studio effort Digital Ghosts. Following up 2005s Room V as well as the Prime Cuts compilation release of material from previous albums in 2007, Digital Ghosts will be released on October 26th, 2009 in Europe and November 3rd, 2009 in North America via InsideOutMusic.
After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, Digital Ghosts introduces new lead singer Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Clay Barton (Suspyre) to compliment the release. With Digital Ghosts, SHADOW GALLERYs members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, new addition Brian Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions.
Guitarist / Keyboardist Gary Wehrkamp comments on Digital Ghosts as follows:
As a band, we are thrilled to have new music to share with everyone. This album is a dedication to our wonderful fans, and also to the memory of our singer and friend Mike Baker.
We had to deal with a few tragic events during the course of this recording, but pressing on we approached the production the way we always do: Trying to provide our very best. We had a terrific time making this record and hope all the emotion and love we put into it endures, transcends and touches every one who is ready for it.
You can expect some shades of a new direction on this record. We had long been trying to incorporate more prog elements and the time was right to stretch out a little bit, while remaining true to the heavy and powerful rock based songs that have been a staple of SHADOW GALLERY since the earliest days.
The track-listing for the album reads as follows:
SHADOW GALLERY Digital Ghosts:
1. With Honor
2. Venom
3. Pain
4. Gold Dust
5. Strong
6. Digital Ghost
7. Haunted
Two small first video teasers for Digital Ghosts can be viewed on the bands youtube channel:
