Safe Is Just a Shadow is the second studio album by heavy metal band Ice Nine Kills. The album was originally released on July 12, 2010 but was re-recorded and released in 2017, packaged as Safe Is Just a Shadow (Re-Shadowed and Re-Recorded).[1]
Background[edit]
The album was re-released after being re-recorded on January 6, 2017.[2] Vocalist Spencer Charnas described the reasoning, stating "With the evolution of our skills as musicians, and the original producer, Steve Sopchak, having established himself at the top of his craft, we felt this was a perfect time to re-record the album and give it that extra attention that it always deserved. We’ve also repackaged the album with the impressive Toby Fraser produced artwork that was originally supposed to accompany the release".[2]
