UMUR
"The Shadowpath" is a re-issue of Swedish death metal act Moondark´s 1993 first demo recording in album form. It should not be considered the band´s debut full-length studio album. "The Shadowpath" was released through Xtreem Music in May 2015. Moondark was a very shortlived group who formed, released a demo, and then disbanded all within the year of 1993. Several members of Moondark went on to form Dellamorte.

Stylistically the material on the 7 tracks, 35:12 minutes long demo/album is a murky, heavy, and slow- to mid-paced type of old school death metal with a goregrind type growling vocalist in front. This is dark, brick heavy, and relatively primitive death metal and although it has it´s moments the simplicity of it all and the rather one-dimensional nature of the material make this a decent but not great release. A 2 - 2.5 star (45%) rating is warranted.
