Shadow of the Talisman are an alternative metal band from Flint, Michigan (USA) that takes concept rock to the next level while striving to unite all facets of the metal scene through complex musical journeys and heart-wrenching lyrics, and a community where every metalhead can find something perfect for them. As Above, So Below is the bold concept album by Shadow of the Talisman, introducing us to The Dark One, who chooses to recruit and resurrect a broken man to transform him into a killing machine soon known as The Outlaw. The album is a gorgeous tornado of genres and mediums swirled into one of the greatest horror stories ever told through funky, break-oriented alternative metal featuring powerful vocals and intricate, raucous instrumentals.

Formed in November 2022, the five musicians were united through college and musical networking between the cities of Port Huron and Flint, which led to a powerhouse line-up that wasn’t afraid to explore new sonic realms, masterclass songwriting, and relentless live shows. Mike Smith’s vocals are determined by raw guttural power, high tenor raunch-and-roll, and sweet serenades. Zack Harrison’s guitar work wails and bends with melody and soul, and Owen Summerland shreds every measure with thrash-fueled execution. With Eli Kinney crafting such addictive bass grooves that rock us hot through the heart and the hips, along with Kyle Williams being the aggressive rhythmic and technical backbone, Shadow of the Talisman truly fire on all cylinders.

When the band started to write original music, it became clear that the product was a melting pot of days past and tomorrow’s hits. As they progressed in their career, each new song pushed the boundaries, every live show exceeded the last, and “The Shadowed” community continued to grow until the band reached a milestone, playing The Machine Shop. Following that, each show further solidified the growing public demand that the band record their music professionally. Starting with a small release of “The Outlaw,” the band was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding their riffs, song structure, and overall musicianship in the 5-minute track.

As of today, aside from the shows that Shadow of the Talisman would headline, numerous national acts have invited them to be the opener for local performances. Most importantly however, the As Above, So Below album is being released to the public through Eclipse Records. Every day, more and more people are discovering the band that unites metal subgenres of the past and present while continuing to carve the way for the industry’s future. Follow Shadow of the Talisman on social media, be sure to stream their music, and catch them at live shows for a truly unforgettable experience.

As Above, So Below is scheduled to be released by Eclipse Records on February 21, 2025.
