Early Queensryche and ║ │ │║ Sanctuary are good reference points for the way ║ │ │║ Javelin subtly changes riffs or time signatures ║ │ │║ in their songwriting. They also structure the ║ │ │║ vocal lines in ways reminiscent of the ║ │ │║ aforementioned bands. The guitars a very much in ║ │ │║ the Iron Maiden mold as you can hear in the ║ │ │║ classic twin-guitar work on "Now That I Know" ║ │ │║ but they also mix that up with some down-tuning ║ │ │║ a la A Tortured Soul (e.g. "Falling," which also ║ │ │║ features some harsher vocals). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ I've referenced a lot of other acts and that is ║ │ │║ the problem with Fragments of the Inner Shadow; ║ │ │║ anything remotely catchy or interesting, and ║ │ │║ those moments are not nearly frequent enough, ║ │ │║ sound so strikingly like someone else, you might ║ │ │║ as well just pop in The Warning or Powerslave. ║ │ │║ And the stuff that doesn't sound familiar is ║ │ │║ dull. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Fragments of the Inner Shadow isn't bad but when ║ │ │║ "bland" and "derivative" are the first ║ │ │║ adjectives that crop up in my mind when ║ │ │║ reviewing an album, you can be sure I'm not ║ │ │║ going to recommend you spend much time tracking ║ │ │║ it down. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Help Us [01:00] │ │ 02 - The Arrival [03:47] │ │ 03 - The Cenotaph [04:46] │ │ 04 - Birth Of A Plague [04:59] │ │ 05 - Down [04:21] │ │ 06 - Healing [06:14] │ │ 07 - Falling [06:11] │ │ 08 - Lie To Me [05:06] │ │ 09 - Captured Under Sand [04:33] │ │ 10 - Now, That I Know [04:01] │ │ 11 - Closer To The Pain [05:34] │ │ 12 - Dark Broken Land (Bonus Track) [05:10] │ │ 13 - Season Of Grey (Bonus Track) [04:48] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [60:30 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
