If you listen to the first few intros, you'll think Shaphal is an electronic artist. However, Shaphal is a metal band from Brazil. The line-up features Arnon Mello, formerly of South Diesel. Shaphal plays metal with some progressive elements, as they combine electronica with metal. This is evident in the first two songs, as well as in Stronger Than All. Some of the other songs are more straightforward, like Nobody Separates with its galloping riffs. The electronics in the music add to the overall dark sound. Though the sound quality could be improved greatly, it's refreshing to hear a band trying to incorporate new elements to the normally so conservative metal scene.
