The Shadow Inside is the sixth album by the American thrash metal band Sadus, and their first in 17 years, released on November 17, 2023, via Nuclear Blast.{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/sadus-announces-first-album-in-16-years-the-shadow-inside|title=SADUS Announces First Album In 16 Years, 'The Shadow Inside'|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|access-date=November 17, 2023|date=September 1, 2023}} Production of the album can be traced back to August 20, 2017, when Darren Travis confirmed that Sadus would be releasing new material. In October of that year, Travis posted two videos from the studio teasing new music from the band. Former bassist Steve Di Giorgio was not part of the reunion. The album was recorded in Trident Studios.{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sadus-working-on-first-new-music-in-over-a-decade/|title=SADUS Working On First New Music In Over A Decade|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|date=November 27, 2017|access-date=November 27, 2017}} It is the last Sadus album to feature drummer Jon Allen, who was fired from the band in 2024.
