At the end, before the beginning, in the forests of Eseroth, there was a band of warriors. With their musical prowess and might, they decided to bring peace to the dying ears of the land, and bring forth a mighty, epic sound of light. They drew their swords and then erased them before the great wars of time. Hark! Evermore! They reached the Kingdom! To the mountains and far away seas, the Warriors of Thunder rode and cried out their deadly attack: “ShadowStrike!”
ShadowStrike, from Long Island, New York, delivers a melodic, fast-paced, and grandiose sound to the local music scene. The band’s main objective is to deliver a fully immersive musical experience that includes an entertaining stage show and utilizes both musical and extra-musical thematic content to draw from pre-established tropes within the fantasy genre. 
Bringing in favoured styles of each member, ShadowStrike creates a unique sound for its American audience. Each member of ShadowStrike has strong family ties to various European backgrounds and traditions. This makes itself apparent in the style of metal that they play by including classical orchestrations, and melodies and themes that are reminiscent of European folk music, all while being mixed in with elements from popular American styles, early video games, and Japanese metal music. In short, the core sound of ShadowStrike’s music can be linked to the musical tendencies of almost every culture immersed in the metal genre: a true American experience!
