ShadowIcon

The ShadowIcon story has begun back in 2006 when a few friends (Tomaž, Bojan, Damir and Kristjan) had an idea to form a band. Each member was influenced by different musical styles so eventually we decided to play metal. It soon became evident that their style of metal isn't for just everyone.

Juvaliant

Juvaliant - Inhuman Nature

The creativity displayed by the Austrian band JUVALIANT is suggested by the unusual band name. JUVALIANT is a word that they made up themselves and yet there is more behind it than just a bunch of letters. JUVALIANT is the combination of two words: The first part comes from the Latin name of Salzburg, Juvavum and the second part from the English word valiant. Which is very suitable for the Austrian lads' debut album, "Inhuman Nature": prepossessing, progressive, heavy, catchy and often bombastic. As far as style goes, the band is definitely in the elite class of their métier: in progressive and symphonic metal. They deserve a lot of respect and appreciation to be able to establish themselves here. And JUVALIANT have more than deserved it, for their debut album is a super collection of excellent compositions, which will knock the socks off any discerning fan of the genre.
