Biography
Chasing Shadows formed in 1997 as a musical collaboration between long time friends. It started with an email that re-ignited a creative fire that had begun in high school and college. The idea was simple - revisit the musical foundation we had established earlier on, and realize the vision we initially had. During the next decade, we developed our unique sound while living anywhere from a few hundred miles to an entire hemisphere apart. While sometimes difficult to classify, our sound has evolved and matured over the years, as we attempt to craft memorable and relevant musical statements. If asked, we would describe it as Alternative Rock with a noticeable 80's influence. Despite the geographical distances often involved, we continued to work, taking full advantage of modern technologies, continually bouncing files back and forth through email, until finally in 2008, the songs finally met our expectations, and our first CD, Nocturnal Torment, was complete.
Nocturnal Torment is an exploration of the darker side of life. Exploring topics from love and loss to greed, environmental destruction, and social decay. Lyrically it explores the random thoughts that creep into ones head as they lay awake at night. Musically it is a sound scape that not only complements the lyrics, but experiments with everything from the in-your-face sound of heavily distorted guitars and industrial/techno inspired keys to soaring choral arrangements and beautiful piano melodies.
