Shadow Gallery is an American progressive metal band formed in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, United States, during the early 1980s, originally under the name Sorcerer. After changing their name to Shadow Gallery (taken from the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore) and recording a short 8-track demo, the band was signed to Magna Carta Records in 1991. Shadow Gallery's eponymous debut was released the following year in Japan and Europe. In mid-2005, Shadow Gallery released their fifth studio album, Room V, on the European-American independent label InsideOut.
The band has been compared to contemporary progressive metal bands Dream Theater and Symphony X. The members of Shadow Gallery have also collaborated with other progressive metal bands. Dream Theater's James LaBrie contributed backing vocals to the song "I Believe" (which appeared on Shadow Gallery's 1998 album, Tyranny), and in return Shadow Gallery members have contributed to LaBrie's side projects (such as Mullmuzzler).
Shadow Gallery is the debut album by the progressive metal group Shadow Gallery, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music).

THE GATHERING THE NIGHT BEFORE
Time has come
The dawn shall see us off again
Glory rides
The star shall be our watching guide
We know
God is ready
And he's willing
To fill our veins it takes my mind away
Hot sun
Splitting thunder
Deafening
Violent storms
We sail atop the highest waves in search of our viking gold
And turn our backs into the night
We sail into the night
As the mighty desert wind blows through the mountains
Still she sails our trusty ship across the sea
And we raise our glasses high to this good life
See our torches brandish light upon the free
Cowards running to the hills no courage in their eyes
Shadowed terrors prey on them no mercy in their eyes
Their battle's over long before they have a chance to pray
But we shall stand steadfast our ground
Unmoved through the day
Let us drink to the spirit
That has given us the power
To rule with the mightiest of swords
Through all of the
Land
VOYAGE;
DEAD CALM;
APPROACHING STORM;
Our ship now listless drifting aimlessly through the tide
This calm before the storm screams over high
This must be madness cause the sky is growing blacker
Than the shadow of a dead star in regression of it's power
If the darkness that sorrounds you leaves you nowhere you can run to
I implore you fall down to your knees
And pray these tentacles released their grip
STORM;
Well you and I do not belong here
Will we return
I cannot believe
Strong winds
Twisting and tearing our sails off
I'm hiding my eyes
You are fading away
ENCHANTMENT;
LEGEND;
Misfortune paints their lonely story
A thousand years shall endure
Unfold the tale of that dark day
Their mystics ship so far from sure
They sailed away
Into
Another sea
A mystery
To us all
Beware the waves
You sail upon
In ships so strong
It is our belief
This story's true
