Whilst influenced by Folk music, Hand Of Kalliach creates minimal use of traditional instruments, instead lifting rhythms, time signatures and patterns from Folk music and adapts them for distorted guitars.

The tracks of Shade Beyond range in atmosphere from the charged energy of In Tempest Wrought and White Horizon, to the raw aggression of Fathoms and the darker intonations of Fàilte, and to the more classic metal punch of Overwhelm.

Line-up:

Sophie Fraser • Vocals, Bass

John Fraser • Vocals, Guitars, Drums

The overwhelming mixture of the multi-talented pair is truly as unique as it is hypnotic – just dare to imagine a deeply lovely voice like Sarah Brightman’s, as in White Horizon, where the vocals then soar into gripping epic visions of world escape!
