Free Music Notes for Shadow Project

Free Music Review: Debut of the definitive death rock masters simply brilliant!
Hit: 5 Stars

Most people need to be reminded that SP is a Rozz/Eva O./Paris COLLABERATON; Eva being the principle sonwriter and lyric writer.
From the thunderous " Under your Wing " to brutal but graceful menace of " Death Plays His Role " and " Penny In A Bucket "
to pure sinister death rock like " Holy Hell " and " Lying Deep",
Eva proves herself a masterful guitarist and her thoarty alto blends well with Rozz's vocals despite what hardcore Gitane fans think ( although Gitane's a great singer ).

Rozz contributes plenty here, too, though; " Red Handed " and " Epitaph " are meancing rockers with a nive Sabbath edge to them with Rozz's sensual goth voice. " Working On Beyond " and " Into the Light " are numbers originally written by Rozz Williams during the " Only Theatre " days but finally get on an album here. The former is a fast paced rock song with a quirky organ break by Paris and iresstiablely catchy vocals by Rozz and Eva; the latter a delicate piano driven ballad displying some of Williams' best lyrics and wonderful keyboard work by Paris.

Speaking of whom: Paris is often the unsung hereo of this band and does get NEARLY enough recognition aas he should. His synth and piano work here is fantastic ( as well as the second album, EXP, and for those who don't know, Paris and Gitane DeMone did some work together briefly as well )and his errie lines are beautiful and haunting. the spoken word piece by Rozz Williams and Paris " the Other Flesh " with just Rozz's vocals, Paris' keys and some slight bass by Jill Emery is lovely and creepy at the same time.

Get this album, " Dreams for the Dying ", the live album " In Tuned Out " and the acoustic " From the Heart " ( Rozz Williams' last recorded work ). A simply excellent band that is greatly missed.
