Hi, I noticed to my surprise that Shadowland are included in MMA. I like the band, but do not see much Metal in their music. For those of you who don't know them, Shadowland is a Neo-Prog band fronted by Clive Nolan (Arena, Pendragon) and Karl Groom (Threshold) who made three albums in the 90's and have recently reunited and released a box set and a live DVD. As I said, I can't really see what's Metal about them. If anything, Arena (another of Nolan's several bands) is more "Metal" than Shadowland. Or maybe not? What's you take on this? |

I'm honestly not sure how this band got on MMA, especially listed as "traditional heavy metal". It must have been an error in the development stage of the MMA. Shadowland should be deleted ASAP... something like this could ruin the credibility of the site. If someone else (preferably another collab. or an admin) supports this, I will gladly delete them.

Delete, Delete, Delete . Shadowland are neo-prog to the bone. They have absolutely nothing to do with metal.------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Yeah, deleting them is probably for the best. Good thing I asked before posting my reviews for their albums.

Did anyone check the profile was only for the English band?
There is also a Swedish Prog Metal band of that name.
They released an excellent album "Falling" in 2007.
If it was the standard Last FM import it may have referred to both.

Well, the Musicbrainz bio on the MMA page had no mention of this band, and was just referring to the neo-prog band. I don't recall "Falling" being on the artist page either. ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

That's right. The bio, band pic and discog (that has now been removed) was unambigously for the British Neo-Prog band with Clive Nolan and Karl Groom and only their three albums (Ring Of Roses, Through the Looking Glass and Mad As A Hatter was listed). I don't know any other bands of that name, but there might indeed be several others. After all, it is a very good band name, so no wonder there are several bands with that name out there. |
