Description

Shadows in the Deep is the second album by the Swedish death metal band Unleashed.

Some people say this is the top of Unleashed work, that Shadows In The deep is for Unleashed what Master Of Puppets is for Metallica, well let's analyze this one now.

Johnny Hedlund is the master mind of Unleashed, not only did he wrote all of the lyrics in this album, but he also wrote all of the arrangements and music in it except for a couple of songs which are "A Life Beyond" and "Shadows In The Deep" where the music was written by Fredrik.

You know what you're gonna get with Unleashed: songs which alternate between fast/slow and mid-tempo, galloping, almost punk-like songs, Viking and anti-Christian lyrics, and, for the most part, precise and well-written songs. So if you've heard any Unleashed album before, don't be surprised that this album also follows their tried and true formula. However, what Shadows in the Deep has, which many of their other works do not, is total quality, from the first to the last track.

Fans of Where No Life Dwells will listen to this and immediately realize how similar many of the songs are on this record. It's amazing that, even this early in their careers, Unleashed knew it had a good thing and stuck with it. The AC/DC comparison isn't far off for Johnny and Co. But fortunately, there's a great sense of songwriting ability within the band. Songs like The Immortals and Onward Into Countless Battles, combine excellent lyrics with Unleashed's steady formula of riffs, consistent drumming, and not-flashy/not-brutal yet very effective vocal work. While their debut was a little rawer, this one is a lot clearer and fuller. The guitar tone is ultra-thick and chunky, which gives a lot of these songs power. The drums sound GREAT on this record. Anders Schultz gives his usual performance here, with lots of variation between up-tempo thrash beats, blasts, and mid-paced gallops/beats, but the drum tone really sets it apart here.

This is the original version from 1992, lacking the Venom cover “Countless Bathory” included in later versions.
