Shyfrin Alliance will issue its new lead single and forthcoming album’s title track, In the Shadow of Time, on 9 May 2025 via all major digital platforms. The release advances the project’s Kabbalah-informed mission—Music of the Mystic, Mystics of the Music—by framing time not as a character but as a veil that conceals agency.
The song’s premise is explicit. “I want to know who is there – in the shadow of time,” sings Eduard Shyfrin, whose bass-baritone carries the inquiry with unadorned authority. Rather than personifying time, the lyric proposes a hidden force operating within its shadow and invites listeners to rise above Good & Evil to observe that influence from an elevated perspective.
Recorded in Paris with a cadre of top-tier French rock musicians, the track presents a dramatic, immersive blues-rock design. Thunderous drums, a layered arrangement, and Shyfrin’s commanding vocal presence drive a trajectory that tightens into a Black Hole of emotion before releasing into the measured pull of the Pendulum. The result is precise in construction and expansive in impact.
In the Shadow of Time follows the group’s debut album Upside Down Blues and the acclaimed single Buddha Blues, and it functions as the thematic cornerstone of the second album. Drawing on abstract expressionist art and sustained philosophical inquiry, the single provides a meditative yet urgent study of the unseen forces that contour human experience.
Eduard Shyfrin—Ukrainian-born, a classically trained pianist, businessman, and bestselling author—integrates ongoing study of science and Kabbalah into a unified artistic approach. “The nature of time is the greatest mystery,” he notes. “We don’t know what it is, we cannot define it – but we feel its force. This track captures the torment and awe that come from facing that truth. It is a wall we cannot escape – the Wall of Time itself.”
The single will be available on all major services from 9 May 2025.
