עצוב
נהניתי מכישוריו ואמשיך להנות מהם עוד שנים רבות,
זו המורשת שהותיר מאחוריו..
may he rest in peace
I sometimes wonder what happens to us
When we fade like a flame
In the night
Answer the question
Then wait for the answer
You're here and will be
For all of time
איי כמה חבל! זמר גדול והרכב חשוב מאוד לעולם הפרוג מטאל. אחד ההרכבים האוהדים עלי בז'אנר שעשה איזה קאמבקון קטן עם אלבום נחמד.
ממליץ לכולם להקשיב לאלבומים הישנים של ההרכב הזה, בהחלט מפורצי הדרך בתחום.

Rise up and take the power back!!!
From the Shadow Gallery Forum posted by Gary on July 27:
HEY Everyone!
It has been a long time since I have been here.
Yes, the rumors are true- Shadow Gallery has completed a new record.
Just 30 minutes ago, I finished the final reference mix.
If I drank beer, I would be having one right now, toasting myself to the reduction in studio hours I can expect starting tomorrow!
The last 12 days have been sub-mixing here at New Horizon Music Studios, but the real magic is still happening with Rich Mouser at Mousehouse Studios who is doing the final stages prior to Mastering which is next and scheduled for roughly a week or two from now.
It is too soon to state release dates yet, but it could be late October or early November.
I will check back here next week sometime and give you guys some more information if I can. We are not announcing singers or song titles yet, so you'll have to wait on that.
Carl, Brendt and myself do sing more on this album, but we are not the main lead vocalist. You will hear a lot of our voices on this record though. I think Brendt and I added more BG vocals on this record than any other.
There are a few guests and changes on this record and this information will be posted when the promotion gets underway.
It has been really wonderful to hear the encouragement from so many, asking us to continue. Moving on without your lead singer and good friend was not an easy task for us, but we are very pleased with this new record and are excited about all of you hearing it.
As always, thanks for your patience and support.
Peace and Love-
אם כבר ב-SG עסקינן... למישהו יש טאבים לשירים שלהם?
כמעט ולא מצאתי כאלה באינטרנט. אני בעיקר מחפש את Comfort Me. מת על הסולו שם.
גם בפורום הלהקה, הגיטריסט עצמו לא עזר לי מי יודע מה, נשאר לי להסתמך על מעריצים...
Gold Dust, שיר מתוך האלבום החדש Digital Ghosts.
השיר הראשון עם Brian Ashland, הסולן החדש.
איכות הסאונד לא גבוהה, כנראה ביט רייט נמוך אבל נשמע טוב חוץ מזה. http://www.myspace.com/officialshadowgallery
וואו, השיר החדש הוא כמעט העתק של אחד השירים הקודמים שלהם.
אני לא בטוח אם זה אחד השירים מ-Room V או אלבום אחר, אבל יש לי הרגשה כאילו
כבר שמעתי את השיר בעבר למרות שזה לא אותו השיר.
חבל שהם לא התפתחו קצת יותר מזה. נחכה לשמוע את כל הדיסק.
