Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing staggering instrumental virtuosity, Shadow Gallery's sophomore release is a towering achievement in 1990s progressive metal. 'Carved in Stone' features incredibly complex, multi-part epics highlighted extensively by lush vocal harmonies and prominent flute interludes. The record's fiercely technical guitar and keyboard duels are heavily influenced by the grandiose theatricality of classic 70s prog rock.
