After the first, self-released album of THE NIGHTCHILD - a two-headed band from Donetsk (Ukraine) - named "The Other" (2009) was a big success, now the second album "Another Shadow" (2010) will be re-released as a special and analogue remastered version on afmusic.

The band's roots in the dark times of the 80's Gothic Rock-movement and they clearly maintain its gritty sound without letting the listeners miss neither musically innovations nor an extraordinary sound. The mostly emotional vocals, the well-aimed use of guitar and keyboard and the driving bass guitar comp all the pieces - from faster ones over catchy mid-tempo-songs up to emotive ballads.

This re-release has completely been re-recorded and extended with three bonus tracks from the EP "With Me" (2010). Actually it comes up with guest appearences of three singers: Dimitry Flo (DoppelgängeR) in "Insects In The Amber", Alien Moongazer (Spectral Blight) in "The Nameless Ghost" and Marie Himmelsweit (Puppet Lane) in "With Me", whose voices perfectly entwines with THE NIGHTCHILD’s music.

With the re-release of "Another Shadow" as a special edition THE NIGHTCHILD presents an album, which definitely can compete with the classics of gothic rock and offers a pretty gloomy atmosphere associated with intoxicating, emotional melodies, which simply carry along.

The "Another Shadow" re-relaese will be published on the 1st of March 2011 on afmusic as a free downlaod and will be available in all well-known online stores too.
