Finland's CROWNSHIFT Announces New Album 'The Shadows We Buried', Shares 'In The Dead Of Night' Single

Finnish modern metallers CROWNSHIFT will release their second studio album, "The Shadows We Buried", on January 29, 2027 via Nuclear Blast. Celebrating the announcement, the quartet has premiered a thunderous new single, "In The Dead Of Night", accompanied by a striking official music video.

Following the impact of their critically lauded self-titled debut, CROWNSHIFT — then comprising seasoned musicians known for their individual histories in iconic acts such as NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, WINTERSUN and FINNTROLL — have quickly elevated themselves from an exciting collaborative project into a dominant standalone force. Extensive international touring, standout festival appearances, European support runs alongside heavy metal royalty like DIRKSCHNEIDER, and an acclaimed showing on the 2025 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise have honed the group into a razor-sharp live unit.

Now, that raw touring kineticism fuels "The Shadows We Buried". The forthcoming record represents a natural yet daring evolution of the band's signature sound, interweaving modern melodic death metal riffs with progressive flourishes, soaring vocal hooks, and dark, cinematic breadth.

The lead single, "In The Dead Of Night", sets the stage with relentless rhythmic drive and sweeping atmospheres, showcasing the band at their most focused and intense.

"The Shadows We Buried" track listing:

01. The Portal
02. I Will Give You War
03. All Hail The One
04. The Shadows We Buried
05. In The Dead Of Night
06. Gone Before Tomorrow
07. Behold The Crown
08. Fuel My Curse
09. Until The Silence Falls

NIGHTWISH and WINTERSUN bassist Jukka Koskinen was a member of CROWNSHIFT from the latter band's inception until this past June. He has since been replaced by Kevin Apostol (ATLAS, ASSEMBLE THE CHARIOTS).
