"Shadow and Claw deliver a technically proficient and emotionally resonant, with a quality that rewards repeated listens." - Mão da Glória

"...the vocals sound like a horrifying creature of the night, trapped in eternal damnation." - Evert's Band Promotion
"Shadow and Claw draws on both the ambience and the harshness of nature for an impressive debut in Whereabouts Unknown." - Metal Storm

Dying Earth Blackened Sludge om Boise, ID
Chaotic, contemplative and fierce, Shadow and Claw emerges from Boise as a new force of Idaho heavy metal. With their blend of Cascadian black metal, desert sludge, and oceanic ambience, the trio is primed to become known as a band that carves out their own path in music with demoniac fury and haunting elegance.
