Propelled by the stunning guitar heroics of brothers Pete and Jake Adams, Virginia's VALKYRIE return with their third full length Shadows, one of the year's best guitar-driven, heavy rock records. Jam packed with harmonized leads, rich solos and melodic, blues-based riffs, VALKYRIE sound like the perfect blend of American style doom rock bands like Pentagram or Spirit Caravan and classic hard rock like Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash, and Deep Purple. Where Pete Adams' other band Baroness focuses more on the modern proggy and poppy side of metal, VALKYRIE looks to proto metal trailblazers for influence while injecting plenty of current day inspiration. Produced by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Leviathan, YOB), Shadows is the perfect summer heavy rock record!

Praise for Valkyrie:
"The ease with which both guitarists' weave in and out of each others' lines is the kind of chemistry only a duo that came from the same uterus can harness." - MetalSucks

"Valkyrie has emerged from obscurity and thrown itself fully into the revival of traditional heavy metal with a Southern twist." - Popmatters

"Adams and his singer/slinger brother-in-crime Jake are a formidable duo in the fine Thin Lizzy school of trade-off, venturing back and forth between homespun melodies and hard, driving riff attacks." - About.com Heavy Metal

"Blend fat-n-heavy cuts of traditional Vitus-styled riffs with generous doses of luminous Thin Lizzy attitude, melodic Maiden guitar antics, and wrap it all up with some of the most delightfully harmonized vocals to be heard in heavy metal today ' that'sValkyrie in a nutshell." - Last Rites
