Polish metal collective SHADOHM â uniting current and former members of Vader, Decapitated, Hate, Antigama, Batushka, and more â presents the new video for âBlurred,â preceding their Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment debut, nearing March release on Selfmadegod Records.

SHADOHM unites several experienced Polish metal scene veterans, founder and drummer PaweÅ Jaroszewicz, with vocalist Adrian Meissner, guitarist/vocalist RafaÅ Åyszczarz, guitarist Jakub Åliwowski, and bassist BÅaÅ¼ej Kasprzak, who collectively deliver the pure, unadulterated darkness of black metal, energy of groove metal, and heavy melodies of doom metal through absurdly low-tuned notes. Their debut, Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment, is a modern combination of styles, citing acts like Architects, Lorna Shore, Meshuggah, Gojira, and Katatonia, shocking to the listener from start to finish with five tracks of melodic trance with amazing vocals that will take you to another dimension of modern metal, created by a conglomerate of experienced professionals.

The drums were recorded at Santa Studio (Behemoth, Obscure Sphinx) by MikoÅaj Kiciak, Filip HaÅucha, and Sebastian Has, the guitars and bass were recorded at Heinrich House Studio by Filip HaÅucha, the vocals were recorded at Santa Studio by Sebastian Has, and the tracks were mixed and mastered by Has at Santa Studio. The cover art was created by vocalist Adrian Meissner and Michal âXaayâ Loranc (God Dethroned, Kamelot, Nile), and the photography was handled by Aleksandra “Kosa” Majak.

Jaroszewicz comments: “Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment is a commentary on how I perceive the surrounding reality and is inspired by everything that I encountered throughout the years. It is a form of releasing the pressure and frustration growing within for many years, a form of catharsis, a sort of therapy â coming to terms with my demons and finding the strength to pursue my goals against all odds.”

The crushing new single from SHADOHMâs Through Darkness Towards Enlightenment, âBlurred,â is delivered through a captivating video filmed and edited by Adrian Meissner with lighting by Mateusz Bulatewicz.
