Defences - Shadowlight - LP COLOURED

Future alternative metal greats Defences return with their stunning new album "Shadowlight". Following strong support in the form of millions of streams across their catalogue of releases - the band from Hertfordshire, U.K., now present their label debut for Long Branch Records. "'Shadowlight' stems from a period of solitude and deep reflection, as we explore what it means to accept your inner darkness", comments the band. "Acknowledging, understanding and ultimately accepting it for what it is, learning how to sit with it or use it to change your outlook. The album sees all sides of this, tying in the parallel of the artistic process itself and what it is to create. To open yourself up to the possibility that you may not achieve what you believe in your core to be something you deserve, that you may not reach your potential. This cycle of disappointment and self sabotage is commonplace, with nothing left but to chase a sense of absolution and validation forever out of reach."
