"Shadows" is the long-awaited debut album of heavy metal veterans ExpiatoriA, and it will be released on November 4th, 2022, via Black Widow Records and Diamonds Prod. on cd and vinyl.

Despite the band's long history, "Shadows" only features new compositions the band has been writing in the past few years. All fans of traditional, punchy heavy metal and doom will find something intriguing in the songs. Their atmospheres will also appeal to prog and gothic lovers. This mixed musical offering results from the varied background of the band members.

The songs are enriched by David Krieg's intense vocal delivery. David is also the primary author of the lyrics, and his writings deal with the concept of mystery and the dark side of things, where "dark" doesn't necessarily mean "bad" or "evil"... but just "hidden".
