Espen and Erik decided to make a band, and called Espen's big brother Hallvard in late spring 2006. They jammed a bit, but didn't start practicing for real until Hallvard's other band broke apart around midsummer.
In august they booked their first gig, and found out they needed a vocalist. Hallvard talked to some people, and in september he met Jacob. Jacob needed about 1 min to get the job.
Since then, Shadework has played a number of venues in and around Oslo, though writing music has been the priority the whole time.
Shadework is progressive, melodic and sometimes melancholic rock with a touch of power metal for flavour. The band take pride in making original music and not sound like any and every other band out there. They spend a great deal of time and effort in writing the best possible music they can. The songs are not simple, but in addition, the emphasis lies not on technical show-offs or dificult structures and progressions, but on the music.
The band is currently working on an EP that will hopefully be available sometime in the spring of 2009. The songs are all recorded and in the post-recording/ pre-publishing phase.
