Foul Body Autopsy return with the first part of a new trilogy.
If you know Foul Body Autopsy then you are aware a lot of material comes from Tom’s own struggles. “Shadow Without Light” is him not only tackling a personal loss, working through bereavement but having the strength to still want to help others as he explains:
Basically it’s about going through grief following the death of a loved one. I am doing three singles following my experience going through the grief process and maybe it can help someone else along the way.

For me, this is one of the heaviest tracks I’ve heard from Foul Body Autopsy, musically there feels like the track almost has a black metal edge to it but the familiar guitar sound and raw emotion are still at the forefront.
The release comes with two remixes with Synth Remix in particular being phenomenal! Now, admittedly I have been on a bit of synth kick recently but even if I hadn’t I would’ve still had the same reaction. I adore this version because it still maintains the feel of the original. Easily something that I would pick for my radio show and on a live DJ Set. Is it wrong the first thing I wanted to do was put on OutRun with the sound off and just play it to this on repeat? thought not.
The Hybrid mix is a nice blend of the previous synth element but whereas the synth one was instrumental this one still contains some of the synth elements as well as guitar and vocals.
As for the inclusion of remixes with Shadows Without Light: Part One and each of the subsequent EPs that will follow, Tom says:
I added the remixes because I have always loved the idea of 12″ singles. The whole idea of them was to make life easier for DJs so you would usually have an extended version of the single for dance clubs, but it later expanded into the original single with remixes and extended versions. I wanted to do something like that with this release and the two following releases, parts two and three.
Another emotional release equated with genius.
