The Shadow Cabinet was created in mid 1999 by longtime Bay Area friends Todd Rhynes (drums)and Mark Sharp(bass). Out of an appreciation for goth pioneers such as the Sisters of Mercy and the jangly, unsettling sounds of Lords of the New Church, they have picked up where the icons of their past have left off. Todd and Mark already knew the sound they wanted with this project. The tribal yet melodic rhythm section was already in place and ready for the missing pieces. Soon, they enlisted the help of San Francisco native Michael Sessa, to bring a darkened textured approach. Lando Cerecedes was added for his unique guitar work which rounds out the sound and makes The Shadow Cabinet one of none.
The Shadow Cabinet's debut release "Solitude", is a dark rock master peice with songs touching on styles of heavy rock, gothic and pop. It displays great song writing skills, art and musicianship. Solitude was praised by critics around the globe.
