Since formation in 2020; the quartet in question have only this here debut album in their discography so far entitled: "Reality Unveiled". 10 tracks ranging at around 47:23 SHADOW TRIBE arranges an intricately designed formula of some heavy-hitting Melodic Metal developments.

Opening up with the melodic opera: "Splinters Of A Hologram;" this monolithic tempo shreds with full force, amplified adrenaline & boisterously bouncy fretworks implement a gnarly fabrication in creatively harmonic hymns that trud into battle...executing keyboard symphonics that thunder with uniquely versatile vehemence. Blistering frolics charge into a barrage frenzy of punchy jumpiness and a borderline foundation on riveting rhythms that revel with angelic heaviness. Consisting of Kimmo Perämäki on vocals; the frontman excels at a clean but high-pitched perseverance on throaty pipes that roar with synergetic elan, elegantly exquisite and euphonic but mellifluous singing shrouds with theatrical yet sophisticated substance. "Christaromancy" flamboyantly crafts an intriguing attribute that manifests this meticulous aesthetic in which spellbinds souls with marvellous performances with sturdy tightness, while tempestuously storming with trailblazing impact.

Simo Pirttimaa rifts with ripping guitar hooks; chugging into a groovy calamity, frolicking with progressively tenacious technicalities & a complexly dexterous dynamic on quirky vibrancy...skyrocketing with killer laceration abilities that showcase sonically seamless riffing finesse. "Headstrong" drills a chiselling organic on momentous yet primitively raw songwriting musicianship; this maelstrom pursuits with upbeat strikes, catchy drum hammering from Petri Heinonen bombards eardrums with rumbling reverberation, rambunctiously pummelling with profusely robust piledrives that embellish in an experimental hybrid on persistent panache &  steely precision...stomping with wildly rushing sharpness that portrays this quaking pandemonium on distinctively distinguished expertise. "Speck Of Stardust" examines captivating chords, and electronic strings merge together with the synthesized keyboard boundary... bulldozing with rollicking ramifications & pleasing systematics.

Audible bassist Marko Pukkila injects an infectiously venomous thump onto speakers with this rompy strife; solidifying crunchy grinds, and chunky revels that resonate with resounding remedies. "Connection" flourishes with more volatile triggering; tasteful skill that results with tribal yet sublime orchestration, arming a brimming embellishment on zestfully traditional musicalities and a marvellous prowess on methodical flexibility. "A World Taken Hostage" distils at a fluid characteristic at polished sound production; while providing a strong yet stylish éclat. Establishing massive screams, and adventurous ambitious guitar/keyboard synth solos for maximum variety while immersively inventive embodiments possess you to rock with horns held high as you sing along. "Many Tears To Go" constructs thrilling smacks while rompy yet ballad-esquire juxtapositions ooze out a healthy dose of acoustic-like transitions; until more synths converge into the rapidly swift nimbleness of the guitars and pounding drums.

"We Weren't There" oscillates with scorching riff patterns that clobbers into a memorable spiral on overarching appeals in instrumental brilliance; choir-like gang chants, tuneful jingles & prodigious yet radically prestigious wickedness wonderfully organises salubriously outré artistry. Advancing onto the penultimate track: "Stolen Fate"; another chorus driven buoyancy in which supplies a dulcet silver-lining of some splendid yet mandatory Melodic Metal trials that will whorl your soul with refined ramifications, and concrete splendour. Overall concluding "Reality Unveiled" with the finale epic: "Instant Heaven" which forges hardened firepower; haste and this other-worldly serenity on soaring subtlety, enriching a concrete grit on elevated yet this mesmerisingly majestic spectrum of relentless yet motivating musical qualities.

Bottom line; I am compelled to say that SHADOW TRIBE certainly outdone themselves with this one, "Reality Unveiled" is a cosmetic ritual of modernized Melodic Metal grandeur & a grandiose spectre on an enthralling but hypnotic harnessing of efficacious Metal wonders.
