French heavy metal outfit Sins of Shadows are gearing up to release their third full-length album, The Last Frontier, on May 5. And they’ve already dropped the first single, “Tell Me Why,” with a new video.
This upcoming record, which features Tasos Lazaris on vocals, is described as more direct and heavier than what came before. It’s a step towards a sharper, more dynamic, yet still melodic sound, bringing a renewed sense of urgency to their work.

The Sins of Shadows Sound
Musically, Sins of Shadows pulls from the energy of NWOBHM bands like Iron Maiden and Saxon. But you also hear the ambition of progressive and power metal acts like Symphony X and Iced Earth, mixed with a heavier edge akin to Megadeth or Testament.
Their twin-guitar harmonies, much like Thin Lizzy, add a touch of warmth and classic feel to a sound that’s modern and powerful. It burns with intensity and a passion you can feel.
