SHADOW GALLERY: New Song Available For Streaming; Audio Interview Posted Online - Oct. 10, 2009
SHADOW GALLERY, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, has returned with its sixth studio effort, "Digital Ghosts". Following up 2005's "Room V" as well as the "Prime Cuts" compilation release of material from previous albums in 2007, "Digital Ghosts" will be released on October 26 in Europe and November 3 in North America via InsideOut Music.

A full-length track from "Digital Ghosts", entitled "Gold Dust", is now available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

In other news, a brand new interview with SHADOW GALLERY guitarist Gary Wehrkamp is available for streaming on DementiaRadio.com.

After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, SHADOW GALLERY's new CD introduces new vocalist Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (PRIMAL FEAR) and Clay Barton (SUSPYRE) to complement the release. With "Digital Ghosts", SHADOW GALLERY's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions.

Commented Wehrkamp: "As a band, we are thrilled to have new music to share with everyone. This album is a dedication to our wonderful fans, and also to the memory of our singer and friend Mike Baker.

"We had to deal with a few tragic events during the course of this recording, but pressing on we approached the production the way we always do: Trying to provide our very best. We had a terrific time making this record and hope all the emotion and love we put into it endures, transcends and touches everyone who is ready for it.

"You can expect some shades of a new direction on this record. We had long been trying to incorporate more prog elements and the time was right to stretch out a little bit, while remaining true to the heavy and powerful rock based songs that have been a staple of SHADOW GALLERY since the earliest days."

"Digital Ghosts" track listing:

01. With Honor
02. Venom
03. Pain
04. Gold Dust
05. Strong
06. Digital Ghost
07. Haunted

SG is an amazing band, and Mike Baker will be missed by many. The new album will be a testament to the band's character, as well a Mike's memory.

what do you guys think of the new singer? I'm trying to figure out his influences. I koind of think he's a mix of Mike Baker, Midnight and Geoff Tate...
Looking forward to this.
Mike Baker ill be missed indeed.... R.I.P.

The new singer is a total shameless Tate clone. You would be forgiven for thinking they were the same person.

Cool your jets dude, neither of us said Ashland is Baker. No one can replace Mike, but Brian is a good fit for the band...relax. Or SG could have NOT released a new album...is that what you want?
COMMENT | he sounds a lot like Tate.

not that much as midnight or baker. SG;s style and the multiple vocal layers create that effect.. It still sounds like SG, even though this will take some listens to sink in. Baker's voice was more natural, more crystalline and effortless.
SG are a good band. Technical as they come, but they craft their songs more carefully say than DT do lately !
