Reflections Posts "Shadow Self" Lyric Clip
Reflections has debuted an all-new lyric video for the single "Shadow Self," which can be seen in the player below.
"This album goes through stages. It's a story and every song is a chapter in its own way," says vocalist Jake Wolf. "This track comes from a very dark place. It is about how I let the people I once held close change me and drive me into a place mentally where I developed a second personality. For years, I could not look myself in the mirror. I hated who I was. I had no idea what I believed in, what or who I cared about and I especially had no clue who cared about me.
"It wasn't until the process of writing and making 'The Color Clear' that I was able to find myself again. A person that disappeared through years of physical, mental and emotional abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, more traumatizing events than I care to remember, and years of self harm.
"It's truly a sad and difficult feeling to look back at literally your entire life and resenting everything. But now, when I see myself, I no longer see the product of all of the things I wish I could forget. I see my core, I see what is left of me throughout all of these years of trying to erase every memory from my childhood and teenage years. Unfortunately, I've realized you can't forget the things that make you who you are. It's almost like the person I was follows me every step I take. Just like a shadow."
Reflections will release new album "The Color Clear" on Friday, September 18, 2015 via eOne / Good Fight Music. More...

"In 2000, the band's debut album ('Underdark') was released, receiving high praises and on the strength of that album the band was repeatedly invited to perform live, including an opening slot for Nightwish's show in Curitiba in July 2000.
"In 2002 the band's second album ('Throne of the Alliance') was released and three years later their third album ('Vengeance in Black'). During all this time the band continued their live performances and after some lineup changes (including the departure of Marcelo Caporasso), 2015 finds them with a refreshed lineup and sound as well as their new, fourth, album, titled 'The Battle Sanctuary.'"
