Scimitar
\nShadows of Man
\n<\/i>(Independent)
\n4\/5\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Driven by the double-kick drums of Camosun\/Nexus<\/i> alumnus Clayton Basi, Scimitar is back with their second full-length album, Shadows of Man. <\/i>Their 2010 debut album Black Waters <\/i>was an instant classic, so word of their long-awaited return had local metal fans buzzing with anticipation.<\/p>\n

What exactly is this? Death metal? Folk metal? Symphonic metal? I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s awesome. Scimitar\u2019s latest effort is timeless; it sounds new but, somehow, feels like it\u2019s been around for decades. Packed with great lines, riffs, and rhythmic barking sometimes reminiscent of the late Wayne Static, Shadows of Man <\/i>offers up nine great tracks. The album\u2019s many highlights include vocalist Angus Lennox almost rapping as he growls the story of \u201cKnights Collapse\u201d and when the banjo and jaw harp give way as the verse drops in \u201cWandering at the Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you like metal, don\u2019t miss this. Shadows of Man<\/i> is a great album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
