Shadow Gallery is a six-piece American band from Pennsylvania. Their name is taken from the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and their musical style can be described as progressive metal. They have a reputation among fans for complex song structures and virtuoso musicianship and have been compared to contemporaries Dream Theater and Queensrÿche.

Vocalist Mike Baker, only 45 years old, passed away on October 29, 2008 of a heart attack.

Several members of Shadow Gallery have made their contribution to other projects like MullMuzzler, Ayreon, Explorers Club and Star One.

All members of Shadow Gallery have fairly successful, busy lives outside the band (several are audio engineers). They’ve never played a live show.

I have just noticed that the piano part of Christmas Day gets everywhere - it's also in Manhunt and if you listen carefully, it's in First Light about 22 minutes in, when it fades out.

On ''World Of Fantasy (Demo)'' it's Baker, i am 100% sure. Amazing, made me realy tripy. I like the idea to put some of his older vocal recordings on new album, just to honor him.

I don't get it... in some songs is it Baker singing? Or is it Ashland?

Another thing to note. Members of SG are big fans of queen. You can hear a tribute to them... Listen to the middle section (the vocal one) of The Prophet's Song by Queen. Then check 2:56 from 'With Honor' and 4:04 from 'Rain'. :)

I noticed it too..the first two beats of drums sound like the beats in the Take the Time, but that is soo general pattern that I don't think it should be considered as the same :). And the feel itself is completely different.. :)

Is it just me, or does the beginning of the song "Digital ghost" sound just exactly like Dream Theater's "Take the Time"? Speaking of which, that's some funny and curious song. They start like Take the time, then the song turns out to sound like one happy, delightful angra song (especially on the chorus), and the guitar after the 1st chorus which sounds a lot like Pain of Salvation. Then put to some riffing and keyboarding part like a Pink Floyd-Rush mixture =O it's a very interesting mix to me anyway, but I wrote it down in this shoutbox just to ask if someone else noticed the same thing I did

Awww, that video made my eyes water :(. Absolutely love the new album... but it makes me sad as well. Really miss you Mike! And I really admire SG's commitment and dedication to forge on and complete the album despite such a tragic loss. It's beautiful!

Is it Mike singing on Two Shadows, maybe recorded before he died? Sounds like it could be either, but it sounds more like him than the new guy a little bit.

Ok, I've just realised that Wehrkamp also plays drums on most of Digital Ghosts. That guy is either too talented for his own good or has a load of free time to practice.

Digital Ghosts is excellent. Ashland is superb. Tough shoes to fill, but he does an amazing job.
