"Rising Shadows’ compositions are slight and fragmentary, brief glimpses into a magical otherworld, which dissolves into mist as you try to grasp or comprehend it."
- Simon Collins (Judas Kiss Magazine)
The music of Swedish group Rising Shadows isn't easily defined in a genre but more easily so in mood and influences. Playing a dreamy kind of music with many traditional and folk inspired songs utilizing some medieval music instrumentation. Just imagine a mix of Dead Can Dance, Ennio Morricone and Kate Bush and you'll be getting close to the sound of Rising Shadows.
The new album 'Found In The Cold' continues the theme of the previous album 'Falling Deep Within', but this time bringing their work a more cold and harsh tone with distorted landscapes. Musically and lyrically their vision of the journey from life to death.
Rising Shadows originally started out as a one-man project of composer Fredrik Klingwall in 1996 but with the addition of vocalist Linda-li in 2004, and ex-Katatonia bassist Guillaume Le Huche in 2008 they continue to develop their sound.
Apart from appearing on a couple of compilations they have so far released two albums; FALLING DEEP WITHIN (2006) and FOUND IN THE COLD (2008) both on Argentinian label Twilight Records whom have also released acts such as Ataraxia, Kirlian Camera and Soil Bleeds Black.
