Killer French webzine VS-WEBZINE.COM has reviewed our debut CD. Better late then never especially when you consider they gave us a score of 19/20!

Not only that…read this:
“The year is far from being finished but I can affirm it right now: ‘The last of my kind‘ is my album of the year 2007!”

And for those of you who read French:
“Je n’aime gu¨re ©couter un CD en boucle. G©n©ralement apr¨s une ©coute, je passe un autre style (surtout dans le heavy) mais avec celui-l c’est incroyable comme j’aime me le passer encore et encore ! Et pour ªtre s»r de mes propos, j’ai volontairement pris le temps de l’©couter un tr¨s grand nombre de fois avant d’©crire cette chronique. Pour ªtre franc, jamais je n’ai autant ©cout© un CD avant de le chroniquer. Preuve que si l’on adh¨re leur musique on ne s’en lasse pas facilement ! Le probl¨me c’est que l’on en vient ne fredonner que ces refrains entªtants ensuite€¦ la limite de l’obsession.”

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
US melodic metal band CRESCENT SHIELD is excited to announce they are nearing completion of songwriting for their sophomore record. The album, as yet untitled, promises the same high quality songwriting, tight musicianship, and true metal spirit as their worldwide critically-acclaimed debut THE LAST OF MY KIND. However, this time the band promises a more complex record with more intricate riffing, a powerful speedier approach, and more epic song structures while maintaining the strong melodic hooks and passionate delivery their fans have come to expect. Some of the song titles follow:

Lifespan
Under Cover of Shadows
10,000 Midnights Ago
The Grand Horizon
Temple of the Empty
Tides of Fire

Five of the songs have been recorded in demo form at the band’s home studio. The band plans to record the album sometime early next year with well -respected metal producer Bill Metoyer. The record will once again be released on Italian label Cruz Del Sur Music.

CRESCENT SHIELD is also slated to play KEEP IT TRUE X Saturday 5 April 2008.
