The wait will soon be over to finally experience the brand new studio album by Swiss modern metal upstarts ILLUMISHADE. The rising band, fronted by vocalist Fabienne Erni and guitarist Jonas Wolf (both of Eluveitie) and completed with orchestration and synths by film composer Mirjam Skal, bass by Yannick Urbanczik, and drums by Marc Friedrich, will release their Napalm Records debut, Another Side of You, this Friday, February 16! On their new single, modern metal banger “Riptide”, ILLUMISHADE’s rhythm section demonstrates some of its most impactful work on the album.
Another Side of You is the successor to ILLUMISHADE’s acclaimed debut album, ECLYPTIC: Wake Of Shadows. The second coup showcases a more modern approach both lyrically and musically, while still transporting the listener into an immersive world rich with mesmerizing soundscapes (even enhanced by the Budapest Art Orchestra at certain points) and massive and dreamlike vocal lines, marking the perfect start of a brand new chapter for this promising outfit.
“Riptide” is now available via all streaming services worldwide and goes in line with a captivating high-quality music video, alternating between breathtaking beauty and heavy soundscapes.Don’t miss diving into the enthralling world of this illuminating star and check out the official video for “Riptide” below!
