PRESSURE: Path Of A Shadow - Reviewed By Hard Rock Info ! Check it out here at this link; http://www.hardrockinfo.com/reviews/2021/3.html#pressure-pathofashadow

They begin with a track that is as long as 11:40 minutes, and then they continue with 14 more songs. Why? Can't you understand that it's insane to do like that? And that first track is absolutely not good either, so nobody wants to hear it. And I find it hard to believe that too many wants to hear as much as 15 tracks of this band. PRESSURE comes from Sweden, and they mix Swedish, English and German lyrics. And another thing that might not be to their advantage, is that those Swedish songs are sung in a dialect that sounds funny somehow. But even though I complain a little, they have some good stuff among all these tracks. And the reason why there is as much as 15 tracks is simply because some of the songs are available in both Swedish and English. So o.k. then.. But just this time boys. "Path Of A Shadow" is not just the debut album from this trio, it's also a concept album based on life. But then they call their music story metal. - Hard Rock Info

Path of a Shadow: The Prelude

Lost in an ocean of terror and dishonor, you realize you are nothing but alone. You fall to your knees, whispering along the breeze, but the waves do not even reach you. You reach out to the stars, but they move further away. You swim and swim, but you drown until you decide to rise from the waters. Lit by the moon, you glisten in glory as you see me reflected on the sands you once hated. Unlike the waves that ignore, my support outpours. Unlike the stars that turn back, I’ll keep you safe from the pack of wolves that desire to devour you and have you gated. I am your Shadow, and this is my path. A journey that starts with you and concludes our wraths. They say ignorance is bliss, but I say to know is better than to dismiss. Now hear me!

The Band:

Who are Pressure I hear you ask? Well if you had to tag them with a genre the one that fits best is a ‘melodic rock’ but they’re so much more than that. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden and with vocalist Olof Jönsson you can always guarantee soaring, athletic and committed vocals. Together with a twin guitar sound coming from songwriter and lead guitarist Simon “Siirpo” Forsell and Emil Salling. Their work often focuses and embraces the pressures felt from everyday existence. Their lyrics ably demonstrating that there are two sides to every story - the good and the bad. Every song has a double meaning and they truly see music as a tool to handle the different pressures thrown at us from the modern world.

The band began their journey together in 2018, and since then they’ve worked tirelessly developing their sound and live performance, their aim? To make memories with their fans and to an epic musical soundtrack.

A quote that can summarize their lyrics is: “How can you tell a story about life if you haven’t dared to live life to its fullest!
Pressure is all about every story, every moment, every Pressure!

“They are pioneering what they are calling Story Metal, which is combining heavy metal with elements of melodic rock, with a lot of focus on vocals in way to convey a story within their songs,” -FIRST ANGEL MEDIA
