"... was clearly worth the wait, with the band reaching new heights in songwriting and instrumental dynamics ... there’s plenty of Thin Lizzy-style badass twin guitar action in these grooves, as well as flashes of St. Vitus, early Danzig and Sad Wings-era Judas Priest: in other words, a whole lotta awesomeness."
- Revolver
Shadows is the first album in seven years from Virginia's Valkyrie, propelled by the stunning guitar heroics of brothers Pete and Jake Adams. The album is jam packed with twin harmonized guitar leads, rich solos and melodic, blues-based riffs, the perfect blend of American style doom rock bands like Pentagram or Spirit Caravan and classic rock like Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash and Deep Purple. Where Pete Adams's other band Baroness focuses more on the modern progressive and poppy side of metal, Valkyrie looks to proto metal trailblazers for influence while injecting plenty of current day inspiration.
