Astral Doors

Notes from the shadows 2014 Digipack (CD)

Since the debut "Of the Son and the Father" in 2003 the Astral Doors carried the spirit of the old heroes like Rainbow, Dio, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple into our time. In 2004 the band performed at Wacken Open Air and Sweden Rock Festival gaining an impressive number of new fans. Successful tours with Grave Digger and Blind Guardian followed in the next years and let the Astral Doors star rising more and more. With "New Revelation", released September 2007, the band climbed on the charts for the first time. After the release of "New Revelation", the band went out on their first big European tour as headliners. It was a blast ending with a triumphal return to Sweden Rock Festival for a smoking appearance. After a line-up change and the signing with the German label Metalville in 2010 the Astral Doors came back stronger than ever. Two great new albums "Requiem Of Time" and "Jerusalem" plus the best of compilation "Testament Of Rock", attended by awesome live performances all over Europe followed.

"Notes From The Shadows" is the next big step in the band's career and sure not the last.

Formed in Borlänge in 2002, accomplished the all but accomplishable: delighting Power Metal fans and traditionalists alike. Simultaneously, the sound's unmistakable kinship to Dio-fronted Rainbow and Dio/Martin-fronted Black Sabbath earned Astral Doors momentum with old-school metalheads who frowned at the perceived blandness and lack of substance in the Power Metal genre.

The debut "Of the Son and the Father" arrived in 2003 to immense critical fanfare, although the crucified priests on the cover succumbed to censorship in Japan where the album was also rechristened (!) "Cloudbreaker". In the following years, Astral Doors shrewdly made it impossible for the audience to forget them by bombarding said audience with new releases, one more breathtaking than the other: "Evil Is Forever" (2005), "Raiders of the Ark EP" (2005) and "Astralism" (2006). The band also performed at the perennial Wacken and Sweden Rock Festivals, and did tours with Grave Digger and Blind Guardian - the latter with particular success. Jerusalem ( 2011) was the best album of the band so far and was followed by a very successful club tour in spring 2012.
