With eleven tracks and 56 minutes, the good news is that Wolf have filled it with strong, muscular Heavy Metal.Shadowland is Heavy Metal that crosses the cleverness of Megadeth with the Metal confidence of Dio.Shadowland crosses the cleverness of Megadeth with the Metal confidence of Dio.@wolf_metal_official @centurymediarecords
