Shadowkeep--Corruption Within

Shadowkeep--Corruption Within (2000/Limb) Rating--8.1

A power metal band with progressive strains, and the closest comparison is probably classic Crimson Glory. There are bits of early Kamelot and E.P.-era Queensryche, and even a hidden track cover of "Queen of the Reich"! Tight riffing, high end vocals, and a double-bass pace keep things moving, and just about every track is above-par.
A steady and thick drive grooves through "Altar of Madness," and a sliding, head-moving rhythm paces "The Silver Sword". The aforementioned, hidden "Queen of the Reich" is solid, and other good tracks include "Dark Tower," "Corruption Within," "Cast Out," and "Death: A New Horizon".
TRACK LIST: Dark Tower/The Trial of Your Betrayal/Mark of the Usurper/Altar of Madness/Corruption Within/Cast Out/Meta-Morale/The Silver Sword/Death: A New Horizon/Murder/Inner Sanctum/Queen of the Reich (hidden track)
