Shadow of the Talisman

Composed of Mike Smith on vocals, Zack Harrison and Owen Summerland on guitar, Eli Kinney on bass, and Kyle Williams on drums, Shadow of the Talisman strives to unite all facets of the metal scene through masterclass songwriting, riveting live performances, and a community where every metalhead can find something perfect for them.

Formed in November 2022, the five musicians all drew inspiration from various forms of rock and metal, which led to crafting original music that was a melting pot of days past and tomorrow's hits. As they progress in their career, each new original pushes their music capabilities, every live show exceeds the last, and The Shadowed community only continues to grow.

As of today, numerous national acts have invited Shadow of the Talisman to open for local performances, radio stations all across South-Eastern Michigan are playing their originals, and their debut album, "As Above, So Below," is garnering stellar acclaim. By drawing influence from many metal subgenres, the twisted tale of The Outlaw and The Dark One is told through an epic 48-minute story featuring heart-wrenching lyrics, relentless riffs, and thunderous drums to ensure that the world knows that the Talisman rules over all.
