Pennsylvania, United States (1985 – present)

Shadow Gallery is a six-piece progressive metal band formed in Pennsylvania in 1985. Their name is taken from the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore. 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).

One of the greatest bands on the planet and a wonderful bunch of guys too. Mike's loss is felt everyday, but the band goes on and still produce some of the most inspiring music I've ever heard.

"Overrated." No. Dream Theater and such are overrated. Shadow Gallery isn't.

At least they started touring at last. That's something unexpectedly welcomed.

I find no problems with the new singer. It's unfortunate what happened to Mike. The music went from bacon wrapped rib-eye to bacon-wrapped sirloin. Slight difference, but still awesome.

Check this out if you enjoy album-centered progressive rock with really long songs and no respect for established musical trends. http://www.last.fm/music/Abodean+Skye

If there's a definition of progressive metal, then it indeed means that the music isn't progressive. Sadly, progressive music has become a genre with its own conventions. Just like there are in any other genre. :/ I felt this band did something different in their debut album. They had some King Diamond vibes and something cold and eerie in the sounds that you normally won't hear in this "progressive metal" music. Also the big ending song doesn't have those cheesy passages and whatnot in it, like in every other progmetal epic. It is just a picturesque, very calm song that just goes on and on, never goes through all the parts they usually do. The whole album was pretty unique. And then they decided to abandon all their differences and become yet another progmetal band with the unsaid "musts" of the genre, and originality and exotic influences dropped. :( Even the sounds became modern and impersonal.
