InsideOut Music as well as LMP become known in the prog metal scene for releasing very good prog metal albums and supporting young bands. Now they discovered the British quintet Shadow Keep. The Belgian singer Rogue M. sounds a little bit like Geoff Tate and also their music sometimes reminds me of Seattle's finest. The opening track Dark Tower represents the band very well. The band of Nicki Robson and Chris Allen offers powerful melodic prog metal, not just influenced by Queensrÿche. They are also influenced by Crimson Glory, Vicious Rumors and Watchtower, but they are no copycats! The debut shows the high technical level of the members and at the same time their songs are catchy. Part of this result is producer / engineer Karl Groom who's known for his work with his band Threshold. Groom produced the first demo CD of Shadow Keep as well.
If the band will get the chance, there will be a bright future. They do have the talent and with this album the best basic to start.
