Having heard so much about Jena Galifany's ShadowsForge series, I was delighted to be given the opportunity to review ShadowsForge 4: The Long Way Home so I could finally meet the boys in the band and see what they were up to this time around. You know how rock stars are, you never know what to expect!

What I truly never expected from The Long Way Home was a story that took us so deep into the past of ShadowsForge's drummer Brian Cummings. A troubled youth, Brian grew up in a small town in England and seemed bent on making trouble for his parents. Prone to drugs, alcohol and street fighting, Brian had seen more than his fair share of the miseries of the world even at the tender age of sixteen when we first meet him.
