Shadows Hold – Bound In Chains (Digital/CD/Vinyl/Cassette Album – Cold Transmission Music)

Shadows Hold, an American solo darkwave and post-punk project based in Los Angeles, released their debut album “Bound In Chains” via Cold Transmission Music in multiple formats including digital, CD, vinyl, and cassette. The record showcases two contrasting sonic approaches: the first half features darkwave aesthetics with Cure-influenced guitar work and atmospheric synths paired with cavernous vocals, while the second half shifts toward a more synth-driven electro sound. The album compiles previously released singles such as “Nexum,” “Divine,” and “Glass” alongside new material, with some tracks reworked for this collection. Though the reviewer praised the album’s dual nature and successful debut status, assigning a rating of 7.5/10, they noted a minor weakness in song brevity, wishing several tracks had been allowed greater development.
