"Shadow on the Wall " is a single by musician Mike Oldfield , released in 1983 by Virgin Records . English rock singer Roger Chapman performs vocals on the song and it is taken from Oldfield's Crises album.[3] The song was a hit single especially in Germanic countries.
The music video for "Shadow on the Wall" depicts an interrogation scene and was directed by Keith McMillan .[4] The song also features on Roger Chapman 's compilation albums, such as 1994's King of the Shouters where the song has been 'remastered'.
An "acoustic" mix and a 5.1 surround sound mix were released on the 2013 reissue of Crises .
The song has been covered by a number of artists including Swedish metal band Arch Enemy .[5]
The B-side is "Taurus 3", a short, fast-paced flamenco-guitar piece, which is notably different from Oldfield's long multi-themed pieces, "Taurus" and "Taurus 2", on QE2 and Five Miles Out respectively.
