Ex-Nevermore vocalist Warrel Dane passed away on December 13, 2017 while recording his first solo album in 10 years at Orra Meu Studio in São Paulo, Brazil. The recording sessions started that fall, and enough of Warrel's tracks were captured to complete the eight-track album.
Century Media has announced Dane's final solo album Shadow Work will be out on October 26, which Jens Prüter, Head of A&R & Stefan Franke, Product Manager of Century Media say is 40 minutes long.
“We are looking forward to release these 40 minutes of music in October. We and many other workmates at Century Media Records have known Warrel for years, have been through thick and thin, and are fans of his art just like the many, many people supporting him since the 80s. The dedication his band, Travis Smith and our team invested in completing Shadow Work was astonishing and the entire record carries an eerie atmosphere of Warrel already feeling that this might be his last work. It is heartbreaking that he was right in the end. Rest in peace, friend.”
A single from the album and pre-orders will both be available on August 31. As always, rest in peace, Warrel.
