Description

2023 double album re-issue with bonus tracks

Reflections Of A Shadow turned out to be Rage’s last American release for a long time, the band being an unfortunate casualty of Noise Int.’s label problems and the growing disinterest in all things metal in 1990. ‘Reflections’ at the time was still not up to par of Perfect Man but it was still a quite solid record. The first half of the record is only so-so, with Flowers That Fade in My Hand being a touching tribute to Peavey Wagner’s father, but it slowly builds as the record wears on. By the time you reach the title track, you’ve hit the great tracks that make this album so endearing over time. Rage was slowly blending a better sense of melody, partly due to Wagner’s ever-improving vocals. A larger sense of song dynamics gives the record a wider array of attack. This album also features the Extended power EP from 19991 as well as rare demo tracks
