SHADOW GALLERY Films 'Gold Dust' Video
SHADOW GALLERY, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, recently filmed a video for the song "Gold Dust". Photos from the video shoot can be found at www.shadowgallery.com. The track comes off the group's sixth studio effort, "Digital Ghosts", whcih was released on October 26 in Europe and November 3 in North America via InsideOut Music.
Commented SHADOW GALLERY's Brendt Allman: "'Gold Dust' is one of the first songs that I started writing for this new record. I just loved the D/ B flat/ E progression used in the chorus, then I just built the other parts around that. I knew that it could be a strong chorus and it turned out to be one of the best on the record. I particularly love the simplicity of the chord changes in the second half of the song, riding one note on the guitar in machine gun fashion while having pretty chord changes over the top of it. I love the fact that there are four lead vocalists on that section as well."
After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, SHADOW GALLERY's new CD introduces new vocalist 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 complement the release. With "Digital Ghosts", SHADOW GALLERY's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, 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.
In addition to the to the regular CD and digital download version of "Digital Ghosts", there is a very special limited edition digipack released in Europe with expanded and slightly modified artwork as well as four special bonus tracks:
