Swiss modern metal upstarts Illumishade unveil their 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 balances skillfully between dark and light on "Another Side Of You". Erni's radiant charisma shines brighter than ever with her crystal-clear vocal delivery. Wolf's guitar work surely seems as blazing and emotional as ever, while a fresh dose of modern prog brings a cutting edge to the band's elaborate songwriting. The successor to Illumishade's acclaimed debut album, titled "Eclyptic: Wake Of Shadows", "Another Side Of You" showcases a more modern approach in both lyrics and music at times, yet still transports the listener into an immersive world rich in mesmerizing soundscapes (even enhanced by the Budapest Art Orchestra for certain parts), massive and dreamlike vocal lines, marking the perfect start of a brand new chapter for this promising outfit...
