Self
– Recorded in both English, German, and Swedish the album is
masterfully done. The introduction of the Story Metal concept is
something PRESSURE has done well with every track being a story within a
bigger story about life’s pressures and how the shadow beside you is
always around. From the beginning to the end, PATH OF A SHADOW will
intrigue your conscious mind and you will realize things about yourself
that you either did not know or was too afraid to tell. You will be left
on the edge waiting for the next guitar riff as well as raw yet rigid
and harmonious vocals. The story as life’s pressures has its ups and
downs but that’s reality and that is what you get with this album.
Songs, lyrics, and guitars that tell of your own true self! Reality that
pressures exist, and you can either lay down and be run over or stand
strong and conquer. Life is never easy but PRESSURE provides the tools
to help you on your journey! The Shadow knows the path as he walks with
you and sees it all! He will guide you on your path into the realm of
life’s pressures! Do not worry, the shadow will never leave your side -
he is always around.
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
