ShadowKeep

Hailing from England, Shadow Keep is an up-and-coming power metal with a pretty good debut album in 2000's Corruption Within. The band is frequently referred to as progressive, but their style more closely aligned with traditional 80's power metal, a la early Queensryche with perhaps a bit of Helstar for good measure. Belgian-born vocalist Rogue M. could be a rising star, with a soaring voice reminiscient of Geoff Tate in his early days (as further evidence of the Queensryche influence, check out the faithfully done hidden track cover of "Queen Of The Reich"). Another quality band for 80's metal enthusiasts. A second album, A Chaos Theory, was released in 2002.

Three years later, a new, invigorated lineup has been announced, and plans for touring and a new album are under way.
