Rising Shadows started back in 1996 under the name Shadow of the Concealed. Within the first year of existence The Gathering was made. The demo however remained unreleased due to quality reasons. Work instead began on a second tape called The Seventh Gate.
The release in autumn 1997 coincided with the change of bandname into Rising Shadows. Still the only person involved was Fredrik Klingwall. Another cassette was recorded to promote the change of name but it wasn´t exactly wellspread.
The first Rising Shadows release worth of it's name came over a year later. In autumn 1999 DELIRIUM was released. It passed by rather unnoticed and Fredrik started writing more filmmusic and solowork instead. While Rising Shadows more and more plunged into oblivion.
Early 2005 the track 'Vacui' was contributed to the Waerloga Compilation; A Tribute To Uglakh. Along with such acts as The Soil Bleeds Black, Za Frûmi, Sagor & Swing, Autumn Tears and many more.
In February 2006 the debut album FALLING DEEP WITHIN was recorded. And was released by Argentinian label Twilight Records in September. The response on the album has so far been overwhelming.
An unreleased track called 'Dead Cold' appeared on the Radio Rivendell compilation released by Waerloga in May 2007. Next step will be finishing the second album.
Soon the shadows will rise again!
