"Music is our weapon, for people to use any way they can…to relate to, be empowered by, or in any way to be enlightened." Cast In Shadows derived their name from Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave", which shows a parallel between ancient knowledge and modern misconception. They create a powerful sonic landscape- a place where diverse influences blend into a singular musical result which is driving and aggressive, yet soaring in melody. Drawing on influences from Sevendust and Tool, to Incubus and Metallica, their decades of combined musical training have given rise to a collection of beautifully crafted songs that are the hallmark of this newly formed, yet visionary band.

Always paying meticulous attention to detail, the single-minded focus to the growth of the band and its music has produced a wide range of tracks from the compelling "In Your Eyes" and "Find My Way" to the empowering "The Chains That Bind."
Cast In Shadows was formed in 2003 in Long Island, New York. After spending years together playing local shows and releasing a few demos they are now ready to release their first full-length album "The Divided Line" in early 2009.
