Snowy Shaw

Closing out week number two of S bands is something a little different. It's a Live album that is career spanning and features some guests. Snowy Shaw is known in the metal community for being in about 50 bands throughout his career. Highlights include playing in, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Illwill, Memento Mori, Dimmu Borgir (For about a week), Dream Evil, Norte Dame and Therion. In addition to playing in those bands his also done photo work for a bunch more. Earlier this year he released a Live show from 2011 that spanned his career. Entitled 'Snowy Shaw Is Alive!' is features Snowy playing songs from the majority of his bands and features guest appearances by the likes of Andy LaRocque, Mike Wead, Hal Patino, Mats Levin and Thomas Vikstrom. This is a pretty lenghty album and I had to split it into two parts. Worth a listen, it's kinda a trip to hear some of these songs done his way.
