A very minor local band that never garnered any sort of notability. None of the sources presented in the article are valid, as they consist of personal sites (Myspace, etc), youtube links, sites that do not even mention the band, or are defunct. The only place that actually gave any sort of writeup on the band was a student-run university paper, which is not enough to establish notability. Searching for additional sources also came up with no results. None of the claims of notability presented in the article (opened for more notable bands, has fans on Myspace) are acceptible signs of notability. Rorshacma (talk) 19:47, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Delete - The group is not notable at this time, Google News archives provided two German reviews [http://www.terrorverlag.de/rezensionen/shadows-far/as-black-turns-red/ here] and [http://www.burnyourears.de/reviews/cd/8888-shadows-far--as-black-turns-red here] for their second album, Shadow's Far. I'm not fluent with German but both of them appear to be insignificant. Despite that I have added "music", "2008" and "New Jersey" to my search, I have not received additional results. I'll admit, the university news article was detailed but appears to be the only evidence. Considering that the news article was published three years ago, it's likely that they continued performing locally and MySpace-based, receiving little to no coverage (probably blogs).

- :Those two German pages are actually reviews for an album titled "As Black Turns Red", by the band named Shadow's Far. Similar name, but they're not actually about the same group. Rorshacma (talk) 21:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Ah, I see it now. Hmm, now it's more grim for the article. SwisterTwister talk 22:57, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

- Delete as per nom. Likely COI too, tone reveals someone from the band or close to it wrote the article. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:12, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources for this group; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time. Gongshow Talk 16:30, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
