'Winter's Embrace' is the long-waited 3rd full-length of Hamar, Norway's quartet TO CAST A SHADOW. The artwork was designed by renowned artist Costin Chioreanu (At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Draconian, etc.). “Winter's Embrace” was released via Kolony Records on June 24th, 2016. The album was mixed and mastered by Rikard Loefgren at Leon Music Studio in Sweden (Deathstars, Vomitory, Enforcer, etc.)
The band started out as a female-fronted gothic metal act, but have with this new album moved in a heavier, alternative direction, while maintaining their overall doomy sound. Their new release is an album of 'doomed heavy metal', as the band likes to define its style. Male vocals are now predominant, thanks to the huge contribution by the new singer Nils Stenmyren.
