Shadowside

Established in Santos, Brazil, in 2001, Shadowside is nowadays one of the biggest names in Brazilian heavy metal. Since 2010, Shadowside has been touring worldwide and have played in 30 countries so far, both as a headlining act and as a support for legendary bands such as Iron Maiden, Helloween and W.A.S.P.

Fronted by Dani Nolden, one of the most powerful and praised female voices of current heavy metal, their discography includes the albums Theatre of Shadows (2007), Dare to Dream (2009), Inner Monster Out (2011), an album that brought them international notoriety as they reached #9 on CMJ’s Loud Rock Charts, remaining in the top 15 most played bands in the USA radio stations for 6 weeks in a row, hit #26 in the best-selling album charts in Japan, according to BURRN! Magazine, and won the 11th Annual Independent Music Awards in the Best Hardcore/Metal album by popular choice.

The new album Shades of Humanity (2017) was produced, mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden by producers Fredrik Nordström (Arch Enemy, Evergrey, Hammerfall, Bring me the Horizon) and Henrik Udd (Architects, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Dream Evil).

The new album explores deep and controversial subjects such as depression, abortion, stories of overcoming difficulties, the Mariana dam disaster and mankind’s moral values, and branches out in musical ways nobody expected, although never leaving behind the heavy riffs and catchy melodies that have always been their trademark.
