Coming out the 2nd wave of Polish black metal, Moontower were one the names that stood out in this scene of dangerous and violent music from that era. With contemporaries like Ohtar, Selbstmord, Kataxu, and Gontyna Kry this scene defined itself as the most potent in all of European black metal for that time period. With several great demos and a split cassette with Ohtar, Moontower were and continue to be one of the most productive Polish bands of that time. In the Shadow of the Wolf was released as a debut mini album of sorts back in 2003, and to this day stands as the band's finest acheivement (in Seed Stock's opinion of course). Although it's a short intro, 2 songs, and one cover song release the quality of this style of black metal is worth its weight in blood. This is cold and melodic black metal that aschews some the trademark Polish atmosphere for outright intense riffs and more violent rhythm shifts. This re-release acts as the expanded edition, and comes with extra rehearsal tracks and covers from that era. Limited to 250 copies with hand assembled covers/pro-printed covers.
