By the end of the summer, The Shadow of Time had done it's intended job as the band found it's first full line-up in the addition of bassist Ben Kelleher and Damian Jarzabek on drums.

This line-up made it's live début in Fred Zeppelins, Cork on the 9th of January 2009 - almost exactly a year after the release of the first demo - showcasing some of the new songs for the first time. It was at this gig that the band first made contact with Declan Synnott (
