Temporal by Shadrane

Embark on a journey through the depths of progressive metal with SHADRANE's iconic debut, "Temporal", now remastered for Bandcamp. Originally released in 2008, this concept album produced by Vivien Lalu & co-produced by Joop Wolters was beset by trials and tribulations, from damaged drum recordings to the devastating loss of an audio computer. Lalu faced the daunting task of re-recording every element from scratch, enduring a tumultuous journey fraught with challenges and setbacks.

Despite the adversity, "Temporal" emerged as a testament to resilience and artistic vision. Lalu poured his heart and soul into salvaging this project. Now, years later, this remastered edition of "Temporal" stands as a testament to perseverance and dedication. However, the loss of crucial studio files cast a shadow of impossibility over any hopes of rectifying the mix.

Featuring an all-star line-up including Virgil Donati and the legendary Bissonette brothers on rhythm, guitar maestro Marco Sfogli, alongside vocal virtuosos Göran Edman, Björn Jansson, and Henrik Båth, "Temporal" is a sonic odyssey that transcends genres. From the blistering intensity of prog-metal anthems like "Temporal" and "She Writes" to the melodic allure of power-metal ballads like "Betrayal" and "Morpheus," each track showcases SHADRANE's unmistakable blend of technical prowess and emotive storytelling.

While the tracks may not adhere to a linear narrative, they are united by a common thread of passion and creativity. This remastered edition serves as a reminder of the journey endured to bring "Temporal" to fruition—a testament to the enduring power of music to inspire, uplift, and transcend. Experience the evolution of SHADRANE's debut and rediscover the timeless vision behind "Temporal" in this definitive remastered edition, now available on Bandcamp.
