Shadow Gallery is a six-piece American band from Pennsylvania. Their name is taken from the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and their musical style can be described as progressive metal.

The band has a reputation amongst fans for complex song structures and virtuoso musicianship and have been compared to contemporaries Dream Theater, Queensrÿche and Symphony X. Despite the many complex passages in their songs Shadow Gallery manages to combine them with tight songwriting, production and performance. Their songs are frequently long with instrumental pieces in the middle. Their music is hard at times, soft at others, providing an interesting variety to the listener.

Shadow Gallery's drummer, Joe Nevolo, owns a music studio in Neptune City, NJ, where Jason Rullo, the drummer for Symphony X, also taught for a number of years.

The band has reportedly never played a live show.[1]
