Tampa-based death rock/goth artist SINISTER SHADOWS is proud to announce that his self-titled debut album will be available as CD and digital release on March 26th viaThe Doorway To label.
“Sinister Shadows” was created out of the love of death rock and goth rock from the Eighties and Nineties – bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, and Nick Cave.
SINISTER SHADOWS‘ mastermind,Ryan Michalski (Idiot Robot, Ryan Cosmonaught), ran a video magazine called “The Gothic Box” in Tampa Florida years ago and went to such venues as The Orpheum and The Castle. SINISTER SHADOWS wants to bring back the darkness, romance and flair that has been long missed of this sound and movement.
Today you can have a foretaste of what you might expect from the album with “No one home but me,” here available as a lyric video:
The album was recorded at Ryan’s RPM Studios in Tampa throughout 2025. The album sees the participation of Ryan’s longtime music partner Clint Listing (The Slumbering) for an intro and outro to the record.
