Propelled by the stunning guitar heroics of brothers Pete and Jake Adams, Virginia'sValkyriereturn with their third full lengthShadows, one of the year's best guitar-driven, heavy rock records. Valkyrie'stwin harmonized guitar leads and clean dual vocal assault matched with a strong nod to classic doom and heavy metal creates a psychedelic and heavy sound that pays homage to classic heavy rock bands like Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy while bringing to mind the pastoral and organic sounds of Pagan Altar and Jethro Tull. With no regard to current trends, or retro-rock posturing,Valkyrierides on with a true, classic, heavy metal assault that has turned many heads with its impressive live shows and soul-stirring conviction.
Praise for Valkyrie:
"Shadowsis Valkyrie's third album and first for venerable metal outpost Relapse, and it's a guitar lover's dream. Riffs and solos come fast and frequently on its seven epic tracks, which split the difference between Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy." -Noisey

"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

"It's a deftly performed, richly textured record full of godhead riffs, doomy melodies, and - as you'd expect - fucking ridiculous guitars." - Stereogum

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