Since their \u0091return\u0092 with 2018\u0092s \u0093The Last Sunsets\u0094, NIGHT IN GALES are consistent in the best sense of that word. They constantly deliver melodic death metal that stays not only true to the core of the genre itself but is also on par with its classics. And another detail will catch the attention of everyone checking their album titles: There is something more about them than just the absence of light. The \u0093Shadowreaper\u0094 symbolizes the final stage of the finiteness of all existence: it shreds the lost souls – aimlessly caught up in \u0093The Black Stream\u0094 \u0096 so that nothing remains. He is also the incarnation of our nightmares: a stalking horror made of shadows and burnt remains, longing for us all in the final hour.<\/p>\n
Musically speaking, \u0093Shadowreaper\u0094 is the next logical step after \u0093The Black Stream\u0094 and kicks right in with \u0091Into The Evergrey\u0092 which opens with tasteful acoustic guitars that lead into a driving monster of a song. The following \u0091The Horrors Of Endlessness\u0092 feels like a relentless warning against the idea of eternity. While NIGHT IN GALES keep the overall speed quite high, they are also able to take the foot off the gas pedal to allow mellow moments e.g. in \u0091The Nihilist Delta\u0092 to shine through all ongoing darkness. While \u0091Spirals\u0092 creates an irresistible groove, it\u0092s \u0091Sculptures And Defleshed\u0092 that bundles all the band\u0092s strengths in perfect manner. The closing \u0091Walk Of Infinity\u0092 leaves the listener behind in complete darkness, with no light in sight. And yet a few things are different with \u0093Shadowreaper\u0094. After they did four albums in a row with Dan Swan\u00f6, this time the production has been entrusted to Fredrik Nordstr\u00f6m, the man who created the great formative classics of the genre in his infamous Studio Fredman in the Nineties: \u0093Slaughter Of The Soul\u0094 (AT THE GATES), \u0093The Jester Race\u0094, \u0093Whoracle\u0094 (IN FLAMES) and of course \u0093The Gallery\u0094 (DARK TRANQUILLITY). The end result sounds extremely brute and unpolished by NIGHT IN GALES standards and delivers the much-coveted ‘live feeling’. It’s almost as if you open the door to the rehearsal room or concert hall and expose yourself directly to the action and the huge wall of sound.<\/p>\n
The creation of the cover artwork for \u0093Shadowreaper\u0094 was put into the hands of Italian artist Paolo Girardi, who has made a name himself in the international extreme metal scene with his work for INCANTATION, POWER TRIP, CRYPTOPSY and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, among many others. <\/p>\n
