"TALES FROM THE DEADSIDE" is the latest album from heavy metal band A SOUND OF THUNDER. Recorded at Assembly Line Studios with RIAA platinum-awarded producer Kevin '131' Gutierrez (Shinedown, While Heaven Wept, Raven), the album tells the story of Shadowman, one of the flagship characters of Valiant Entertainment's comic book universe. A SOUND OF THUNDER's style is defined by a classic blend of melodic heavy metal, rock, and prog. Powerhouse front-woman Nina Osegueda has been called "the love child of Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson" and sets every song on fire with her soaring vocals. Fans of Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, King Diamond, Blind Guardian and even Rush will find much to love about A SOUND OF THUNDER. On "TALES FROM THE DEADSIDE" the band combines their trademark style with sparing but effective use of narration, voice acting and soundscapes to tell the story of SHADOWMAN in a non-stop 60 minute musical journey. "The story of Shadowman, his alter-ego Jack Boniface, and the many characters in his world inspired us to create what we believe is our best album to date," says guitarist Josh Schwartz. "We let the story lead us to places our music has never been before, combining all the elements of supernatural horror, drama, action and adventure found in the comics. Of course everything has gone through our own unique Thunderous filter, and all the familiar ASOT elements will be there. The Shadowman's harrowing journey demanded no less!"
