Manimal - TRAPPED IN THE SHADOWS CD

Swedish heavy/power metallers MANIMAL had a great start in 2009, when they released their debut album “The Darkest Room”.Right away it hit the album charts in their home country Sweden on #36 and received worldwide critical acclaim. The intelligentmixture of powerful melodic metal and a few progressive elements made MANIMAL one of the genre’s most promising new acts.Since a few years already, the Gothenburg-based band has now worked on the follow-up. And it definitely was worth the wait!“Trapped In The Shadows” is a splendid album, delivering energetic, melodic metal which impressively blends “Painkiller”-JudasPriest with the best of Queensryche: the perfect symbiosis of power and finesse! Also, please welcome legendary vocalist UdoDirkschneider (U.D.O., ex-Accept) who has a guest appearance on the track “The Journey”. Mixed and mastering of “Trapped InThe Shadows” was handled by Achim Koehler (Primal Fear, Brainstorm, Sinner).
