Shadeworks is the one-man project of Arnaud Nicolas (current drummer of Belgian Metal band Icy Winds and ex-Obsidian). Solo recordings started back in 1998 (under the name of Icy Winds At Dusk) with the first demotape " Endless Snowfields ". That instrumental was nothing but a rough sketch of what was to follow... Anyway, it got some favourable reviews in underground zines and some copies were spread around the world.
Two years later, the project changed its name into Shadeworks, the underlying idea being : to make something more professional, though still weird. The second demotape " Lights Hiding in 8-D Architectures " was recorded in May 2000. It had a better sound quality and got very encouraging comments in a lot of zines, magazines and webzines. Some tracks were also included on underground compilation tapes.
The brand-new " Sooty limbs " demoCD has been recorded in April 2001 on a digital 16-track home studio. The female vocals were performed by Icy Winds" singer Fae.
A huge promo-campaign will be developed in order to complete Shadeworks" excellent pressbook and find a label interested in releasing the project"s first album.
