5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Disturbing, April 22, 2003

By 

Crypt "thecrypt777" (Arkham) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadow Project (Audio CD)

I've always considered Shadow Project to be a sequel to Christian Death since, in my opinion, Christian Death was over once Rozz left Valor and co. More so, this album can be considered a sequel to the great "Only Theater Of Pain." On this album, Rozz returns to his noisy and heavier origins. With the strong Hardcore (as in agressive punk) and Metal influences here, Shadow Project definitely reflects the heavier side of Gothic Rock. This would probably be a perfect album to convert a mansonite or a poser.
The band is also made up of Deathrock royalty. Rozz's vocals are melodramatic (in a VERY good way), Eva's guitars are heavy, inventive and sinister (lots of Black Sabbath influence) and her strange voice makes for some perfect backing vocals. Also, Paris' keyboards really put the Gothic into the Rock on this record. Spooky stuff.
The early 90's were something of a dead period for Goth and Deathrock, but Shadow Project definitely played a part in bringing the scene into the modern era. Also, for those thinking that synthpop, EBM and dark electro is all that Goth is about, remember Shadow Project. This is a 100% Rock 'N' Roll album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird but good..., June 19, 2003

This review is from: Shadow Project (Audio CD)

Yeah this album does sound pretty crazy, but it also is very good. Good vocals by Rozz and extraordinary lyrics combined with Eva O's guitaring, how could you go wrong? I have to admit,Eva O's songs are Not as great as Rozz's,and that is the only drawback about Shadow Project- Eva O wrote too many damn songs!I would have liked to see a whole Shadow Project album with all songs written by Rozz or him and Eva combined, but about half of this album is written by Eva O. But considering the fact that Rozz does vocals even for Evas songs is a real plus. There is also a cover of Bowies HolyHoly which is very nice. With all that said, this album definitely deserves 5 stars, and if you like Rozz,get it,or if you like death rock you must pick this up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bizarre blend of the real and the imagination, July 26, 1998

By 

Ric the Obscene ([e-mail]) (Danville, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadow Project (Audio CD)

This CD is the debut effort by the outfit founded by ex-Christian Death founder, the late Rozz Williams. This CD provided a glimpse into the new generation of death rock that was beginning to surface in both the US and the UK. The play list shifts between haunting ballads and rocking anthems at a pace designed to tear at your mind. The CD closes with a very rousing rendition of Bowie's "Holy Holy", which is still capable of bringing the listener where angels fear to tread.
