Toothgrinder‘s Phantom Amour hit stores back in November, and as Kieran said in his 8.5/10 review, “they have carved themselves a new direction, while retaining that which made them great in the first place.”

Today the band has released a new video for their ‘The Shadow’ single, which front man Justin Matthews told Revolver Magazine, “is based on myself, but also everyone in general. You just have to watch out for your shadow. Every time I come home from tour I have a one-week jet-lag period. Like, ‘Oh wow. I can’t talk like that, my family’s around.’ You forget: Turn on the other switch.”

He went on to say this about the video, “What I like most about this video is one can see the Shadow character depicted in such books as The Stand and The Dark Tower series — two favorites of mine. I see the Shadow character and immediately get taken back to stories such as [the Bible’s] Cain and Abel, Harry Potter, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Lord of the Rings to name a few. This song was a ton of fun to put together, and the video displays that perfectly. I hope everyone can appreciate the concept and learn to tame their own shadow.”
