ILLUMISHADE - Sets Release Date For Sophomore Album And Shares Second Single/Video

Swiss modern metal upstarts Illumishade has set 16 February 2024 as the release date for its magical sophomore record and Napalm Records debut, Another Side Of You. 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, Illumishade skillfully balances all things both dark and light on Another Side Of You.             

The band has just shared another forthcoming album's single, "Here We Are", where Erni's radiant charisma shines brighter than ever with her crystal-clear vocal delivery. Wolf's guitar work is as blazing and emotional as ever, while a fresh dose of modern prog brings a cutting edge to the band's elaborate songwriting. The song impresses with a stomping chorus and an exciting variety in its middle passage and arrives alongside a stunning music video.       

Illumishade on "Here We Are": "'Here We Are' is an anthem to the essence of being in the here and now. It tells about accepting the legacy of history, acknowledging our current standing as a foundation from which we can move forward".

Another Side Of You is the successor to Illumishade's acclaimed debut album, Eclyptic: Wake Of Shadows (2020). 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) and massive and dreamlike vocal lines, marking the perfect start of a brand new chapter for this promising outfit.
 
Illumishade adds: "Marking the beginning of a new era, our album Another Side Of You bridges the tangible and the ethereal. It's an odyssey to the many facets of human emotion but also the challenges we all face in this ever-changing world. Another Side Of You is about grounding in reality, yet also letting the music carry you to places unknown".
