For SHADOW SMILE, independence is king.
They crowd-funded their debut album ‘Signed In Blood’ so they could be free to create the music they are passionate about without interference from labels or management (funded by the fans, for the fans).
Now they are taking this self-funded DIY attitude Live on tour.
Having dominated the main stages at esteemed UK festivals including Call Of The Wild, Winter Rocks and Mayhem Festival, as well as opening for bands such as Skid Row and Terrorvision, Sheffield’s Shadow Smile have now set their sights on headliner status.
The tour will cover much of the UK in two legs (or Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) with an individually curated line up for each city.
“We really wanted to make sure we were supporting grassroots venues and artists with a similar ethos to our own”,
said frontman Connor McGovern.
“We realised we had to be in full control of the tour to do that, so we’ve hired the venues ourselves, booked the bands ourselves and will be managing each event ourselves.”

Shadow Smile are:
Connor McGovern – vocals
Adam Smith – guitar
Ethan Goebel-Todd – bass
Joe Fletcher – drums

Taken from their newly released and acclaimed debut album ‘Signed In Blood’, Shadow Smile unveil news of their ‘Before Every Fall’ lyric video.
The Sheffield (UK) four piece launched their long awaited crowd-funded debut album on the 18th August 2023.
A concept album exploring how the Seven Deadly Sins ideology still impacts upon modern life and our society.
Over the course of two years, Shadow Smile have been finely crafting anthemic metal-edged tracks under the guiding hand of Daniel Jeffery at Treehouse Studios (UK).
Since forming in 2019, the independent releasing band have propelled themselves onto the British metal scene, gaining an army of followers, headlining shows and making festival appearances, along with garnering support from both independent and national media.

The track is the final offering in a trilogy of singles lifted from their debut concept album ‘Signed In Blood’ launching this summer.
‘Suck The World Dry’ contains all the ingredients that has helped establish the Sheffield (UK) foursome as one of Britain’s most exciting new rising metal acts.
Brutal guitar riffs, pounding rhythmic grooves and diligent song dynamics all provide a backdrop for guttural vocals that launch into anthemic hook-lines.
Shadow Smile continue to fuse modern metal stylings with reverential echoes of yesteryears stadium rock grandiosity.
An attention grabbing formula that has earned the independently releasing band a growing legion of fans across the UK and far beyond.
Alike their previous singles ,’Suck The World Dry’ was produced by Daniel Jeffery at Derbyshire’s highly regarded Treehouse Studios (UK).
Shadow Smile also confirm their entirely crowd-funded debut album ‘Signed In Blood’ will be officially unleashed on the 18th August 2023.

Want to know more about the ‘Legend Of The Shadow Smile Cult’?
There are many stories surrounding Shadow Smile.
Some say they’re a Heavy Metal band just like all the rest and others say there is something more sinister at work.
Shadow Smile first began releasing music in late 2019.
These unholy sounds combine huge riffs reminiscent of metal titans such as Avenged Sevenfold and Ghost with the contemporary stylings of modern bands like Bring Me the Horizon and While She Sleeps.
Since their emergence, Shadow Smile have been seducing impressionable metal fans into their cult.
Each of their shows is lined with a sea of Shadow Smile t-shirts and their music videos are filled with fire, druids and scantily clad ladies.
Some say they are ‘corrupting the youth’ and ‘spreading a satanic message’ but a spokesperson for the alleged Shadow Smile Cult reassured us:
“Don’t be afraid, you will be welcomed among the creatures of the night… in the end”.
Exciting times lie ahead for the rising British act who continue to maintain underground credibility whilst radiating with commercial potential.
‘Hellbound Heart’ was independently released on April 21st 2023 & now available on major digital platforms.
