“Progressive metal drawing influence from many genres such as rock, metal, jazz, alternative and instrumental music… Living Bridges is a culmination of musical styles, concepts and several years of writing.”  Comments the band on the release and follow-up to their 2011 Aeonian Sequence EP.

The four-piece from Limerick, are also happy to announce that they have signed to independent Irish label Out On A Limb Records for the release.

Comments Shardborne on the signing, “We’re delighted to be working with the guys in Out On A Limb. Any help we can get getting our music out is greatly appreciated! They are really great people to be working with and they are on the same page as us about the release of the album and how to work with our music. We’ve been aware of the label for quite a while so it’s nice to be added as part of the OOAL family.”

Out On A Limb Records joint owner Ciarán had this to say about the label’s newest signing , “When [Shardborne] sent us on Living Bridges for a listen, it really exceeded my expectations. I knew a good few of the tracks from hearing them live but hearing the whole thing together brought it to a whole new level. They’ve got their shit together in every way possible, and they’re good guys too, which is an important thing when you’re running an independent label like ours.”

Renowned illustrator Duncan Storr [Skyclad] created the Living Bridges artwork. The album was recorded by the band’s Ben Wanders and Ciaran Culhane and went on to be mixed and mastered by producer Jamie King [Between the Buried and Me, Scale the Summit].
