Shape of Despair release new track ‘Shadowed Dreams’

Finnish doom metallers SHAPE OF DESPAIR have released a brand new track!

The track, titled Shadowed Dreams, is taken from the band’s hotly awaited release of their iconic demo, Alone In The Mist. Speaking about the release, guitarist and keyboardist Jarno Salomaa says, “so what exactly do you find on Alone in the Mist? Besides the first songs ever written for SHAPE OF DESPAIR – at that time still named RAVEN – these represent my first ever attempt at doom as well.  Those tracks are the outcome of solitary inspiration through dark woods and good music. This demo was never fully released – do not bother to ask why, because I cannot remember the reasons at all. Alone In The Mist was only tape traded without any cover or anything else with just a few people that we knew or were in contact with.  Two of these songs came out officially a long way back, but soon you will get a chance to hear them all, with Shadowed Dreams now given as a first preview.
