On May 1st internationally, Shadow Kingdom Records will release a special split mini-album between Savage Master and Mystic Storm, The Power / Wandering Time, on 12″ vinyl format.

Featuring three exclusive new tracks from both bands, The Power / Wandering Time brings together two of traditional metal’s most exciting modern forces! Of course, those who follow Shadow Kingdom – or just true HEAVY METAL, in general – should already know the one-and-only Savage Master. Continually one-upping their craft, delivering classic after classic album, Savage Master are still riding high on the career highpoint of 2025’s Dark & Dangerous, so what do they do here? Unload three ANTHEMS of the highest order! Moody and magickal, Savage Master’s side of the split shows why they’re (STILL!) one of the hottest bands around, and whets the appetite for their next full-length – they have The Power indeed! Not to be outdone, Mystic Storm deliver three of their own magickal bangers on the B-side. The astute will already know their From the Ancient Chaos debut album from 2021, and while it’s been five long years since any new recording, the Russians bring their uniquely bewitching speed metal to a fever pitch here. Tempering thrashing rage with occultic atmosphere, epic dynamics, and some of the best falsetto vocals currently around, their Wandering Time tracks should quickly turn the heads of the unaware – not for nothing are they called Mystic Storm! Shadow Kingdom is honored to unite these two powerhouses on one 27-minute mini-album that’s sure to be ESSENTIAL listening!
