SHADOWLIGHT (WHITE VINYL)

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."
