Shadow Of The Sun is a brand new band formed by Dylan Thompson, former guitarist/vocalist with The Reasoning. The other members are Matthew Alexander Powell, Lee Woodmass and Rhys Jones (who was also in The Reasoning at some stage apparently). I don't know how I'd classify them - at this early stage does it matter? Maybe melodic metal? I think they show great promise. You can listen to four demo songs on their website http://www.shadowofthesun.co.uk/ (under Media > Music). There is a CD of demos available at gigs, and shortly online we are promised.
CD currently only available at gigs
The band is touring with Heather Findlay (ex-Mostly Autumn, or Mostly Humdrum as I like to call them!) in November - check out www.heatherfindlay.net . There are a few other gigs in the pipeline too. I hope to catch them soon. I'm really excited about this band, it will be good to hear Dylan free from The Reasoning.

Only just come across this blog - I saw them play with Heather Findlay at the Robin2 in Bilson, and they are really good live.
Rhys Jones was the original drummer with The Reasoning - he was the original drummer with Magenta as well, when Matt Cohen was on bass. Older fans will remember him and he is on some older media (such as the Baja Rock tour video with Magenta).
Hopefully their website is being overhauled very soon, in time for upcoming releases...
Thanks for dropping in here, Wednesday. Shadow Of The Sun are a band with huge potential. Check out Sankara too!
