_{“Chasing Shadows” is the third full length studio album from Black Tide; a band based in Miami which has been around for more than ten years and has toured with some of the biggest names in rock music. The album was released on 16th October through Pavement Entertainment; with promotion in the UK being handled by our friends at Stampede Press. I have to admit that I didn’t know that much about Black Tide and “Chasing Shadows” proved to be a pleasant surprise as I was expecting to hear something different. The labels “thrash metal” and “hardcore” that had been applied to the band led me to expect something that might be a little too heavy for my usual tastes; but the band has clearly moved away from the sound of their early albums.}
