Valiant's Shadowman Inspires New Metal Concept Album

Published Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:00:23 -0500

Washington, DC area metal band A Sound of Thunder has teamed up with Valiant for a new concept album based on the comic book character Shadowman. Tales from the Deadside is 60 minutes of music and voice narrations that tells the story of Jack Boniface, the latest in the long line of Shadowmen tasked with protecting our wordl from the supernatural realm called Deadside.

"The story of Shadowman, his alter-ego Jack Boniface, and the many characters in his world inspired us to create what we believe is our best album to date," said A Sound of Thunder guitarist Josh Schwartz. "We let the story lead us to places our music has never been before, combining all the elements of supernatural horror, drama, action and adventure found in the comics. Of course, everything has gone through our own unique Thunderous filter, and all the familiar ASOT elements will be there. Shadowman's harrowing journey demanded no less!"

This album started as a successful Kickstarter project raising more than $30,000… three times their goal. The 10-track album is the fifth full-length release from A Sound of Thunder since forming in 2009. It drops on September 25th and there will be a release party on September 26th during the Baltimore Comic-Con at the Metro Gallery.

Shadowman will next appear in "Operation: Deadside" – a four-part storyline beginning in December's Ninjak #10 by New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and superstar artist Doug Braithwaite.
