Washington, D.C. area metal band A SOUND OF THUNDER recently announced their new album "Tales from the Deadside". The band has now unveiled album artwork by several notable comic book artists. The vinyl edition of the album features an alternate gatefold cover by Barry Kitson, best known for his work on Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and Valiant Entertainment's Harbinger. West Coast Avengers co-creator and classic Shadowman series artist Bob Hall provides interior gatefold artwork based on his classic Aerosmith/Shadowman cover for Shadowman #19. The band is also offering a Kickstarter-exclusive 7" picture disc featuring artwork by Roberto de la Torre (Daredevil, Shadowman) and Russel Dauterman (Thor).

"Tales from the Deadside" is a full-length concept album based on Valiant Entertainment's SHADOWMAN comic book series. The album was recorded at Assembly Line Studios with RIAA-platinum awarded producer Kevin '131' Gutierrez (Shinedown, While Heaven Wept, Raven). "Tales from the Deadside" is set for release on September 25th and will be available on CD, limited colored vinyl, and in a number of exclusive pre-order packages only on Kickstarter. The standard CD edition of "Tales from the Deadside" will feature all-new Shadowman cover artwork, while select backers of the Kickstarter campaign can obtain an exclusive cover featuring Shadowman's arch-nemesis Master Darque.

"The story of Shadowman, his alter-ego Jack Boniface, and the many characters in his world inspired us to create what we believe is our best album to date," said A SOUND OF THUNDER guitarist Josh Schwartz. "We let the story lead us to places our music has never been before, combining all the elements of supernatural horror, drama, action and adventure found in the comics. Of course everything has gone through our own unique Thunderous filter, and all the familiar ASOT elements will be there. The Shadowman's harrowing journey demanded no less!"

A Sound of Thunder was formed in Washington, DC in 2009. Their most recent album "The Lesser Key of Solomon" was released on September 9th, 2014 via Mad Neptune Records and debuted at #43 on the Billboard Heatseeker's Albums chart.
