The third chapter of Shadow Story is another collaboration between its joint label owners, Dronelock and Ontal who show once again that their symbiotic relationship is a meeting of like-minds and distinctive production techniques.
The EPs opener, ‘Parallax’ starts with a cinematic intro before launching into its pounding groove and dark electronics before the Shadows Remix version comes crackling into play.
The title of ‘Drop Forge Steel’ conjures up an industrial landscape and you won’t be disappointed when this tough Techno track starts throbbing with all the intensity we’ve come to expect from the Dronelock / Ontal partnership.
Though ‘The End of Eternity’ continues the pace of its predecessor, it also displays a quietness in its gentle melody to juxtapose the steely resonance.
The shimmering ‘Templum’ launches next, with a heavy kick and beat-led drive that carefully builds layer upon layer, gathering momentum to become a beast of a track.
‘Hypothermia’, with its beats pulsating like a heartbeat, closes another decisive EP from the Shadow Story camp.

It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself.

The shadow can include everything outside the light of consciousness, it may be positive or negative however the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. A constantly thickening veil of illusion between the ego and the real world and in spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness, the shadow is seat of creativity.

Stories and folk narratives are the stuff of legend. They transcend language and express the universality of the human experience.Stories are invention engines that capture and reflect infinite imagination, transporting people to far galaxy's or to the beginning of time. Music harbours similar qualities, the art of timeless sounds produced for a borderless audience providing escapism, insight and expression.
