Enemy of the Sun - Shadows review (by: Chad Bowar)

Waldemar Sorychta doesn't have much spare time. His skills as a producer are in high demand, and he has worked with tons of bands including Moonspell, Lacuna Coil, Tiamat, Tristania, Samael and Borknagar. He's also a talented guitarist and former member of Grip, Inc. His gothic metal band Eyes Of Eden recently released Faith, and his harder edged project Enemy Of The Sun has just completed their debut CD.
Shadows has a thrash metal base, but branches off in all directions. There are modern, industrial style influences along with more unusual and avant-garde sections. The songs start with a base of creative guitar riffs and strong melodies, then the other elements are incorporated, creating a unique and innovative style.
Enemy Of The Sun's vocalist is Jules Naveri (Profane Omen, Misery Inc) from Finland, and he has the versatility to pull off the intense thrash style vocals along with melodic singing. Shadows veers off course from time to time, but Enemy Of The Sun always rights the ship and this is a solid debut CD.
(released January 22, 2008 on The End Records)
