Hey folks,

We are proud to announce our new booking agency Continental Concerts GMBH (Children Of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Sonata Arctica, Cannibal Corpse, WASP, ...).

Our album is done! The sound is awesome, we are very satisfied about the songs, and can promise you will be too. We finished recordings at Cave Studios (Switzerland) last week, today is the last day of mix by Fredrik Nordstroem at Studio Fredman in Sweden (Dimmu Borgir, Soilwork, Bring Me The Horizon,...) , and on thursday our album will fly to New York and will be mastered by George Marino @ Sterling Sound (Slipknot, AC/DC, All That Remains, Darkest Hour, ...).

Colin Marks, London UK (Suicide Silence, Aborted, All Shall Perish, Nevermore)  is doing an amazing artwork and some t-shirt designs. Have a look to his previous works: http://www.rain-song.co.uk/

We can't wait to release the album, and hope you will enjoy it!

Hey guys!

Just a quick update to let you know we’re fine. It’s been a long time we haven’t showed you life signs, but actually we never dedicated so much time and effort to the band like these months (so we didn't even have the time to let you all know what is going on). Anyway.. we have been working really hard to record the new album, and we are going to mix it in Sweden next week. We really worked our ass off and did the best of ourselves!!!

We are very excited of the result and are looking forward to let you enjoy the album as soon as possible.

Here you can find some pictures of the Studio

Hi guys!!!

It's time to keep you updated on what's happening with Dreamshade. Things are really going at it's finest and there will be great news soon.

But let's begin with some words about the last months:
This summer we had some really nice gigs where we managed to draw a large crowd. 
We started first with some Open Airs in our country, which were a real success.
We also played some good concerts in Italy and headlined in Germany. All the shows were cool, we had a lot of fun and we recorded some crazy video footage that you'll see soon in a promo video.

 
 
 


The main concerts we had this summer are, of course, the international festivals we went to: Metal Camp Open Air 2009 in Slovenia (with Lamb Of God, Dimmu Borgir, Hatebreed, Dragonforce, Nightwish and more...) and Summer Breeze Open Air 2009 (in Germany, Dinkelsbühl, with Amon Amarth, Opeth, Kreator, Volbeat and more...).

 
 


The crowd was probably the biggest we ever played in front to. It was really exciting and satisfying, and we enjoyed ourselves! We already played last year at Metal Camp Open Air 2008 and it was cool, but this year we had the honor to play on the main stage and to share it with the legendary and incredible bands that played after us, the crowd was horny of getting into the pit, to raise their horns and to make some noise... and it was huge! Also in the party tent at Summer Breeze it was full of people, getting crazy straight after we started to play: the warm hearty welcome we had was awesome and we want to thank all those guys! Also, we met a lot of cool people from major bands, magazines, labels, photographers, promoters.. .. and we partied with some really great fans, too! At Summer breeze we met Anthony Dubois, one of the best photographers kicking around, who took us some unbelieveble photos. http://www.myspace...com/roots_vc Thank you brother! 
In our photo section you can see some shots of our experiences.

 


We felt good in that professional atmosphere on stage/backstage and hanging around at those amazing festivals, and we are minded to take part to a lot more of them next year and in the future. We feel like all our dreams are really becoming true.

 


We are also really grateful to all our supporters, friends, fans, family, bands. Thank you for being part of our project.
Special thanks to Alexis, our best friend-roadie-driver-handyman!

  


Ok.. now some fresh news:

Today/yesterday we started recording our upcoming album “What Silence Hides”. We will be in studio until the end of october and will then mix the whole thing abroad the first week of december. We feel good in this awesome studio and are sure that the final result will blast your ears! The people we are working with are good fellas and really have a professional way to work. It's a pleasure to record the upcoming album with such great people. 
Sera finished recording drums and Rocco will start with guitars thursday.

We'll keep updating the studio news, so glimpse always the Blog/bullettin section ;-)

Have a nice week

Hi guys,

We got a lot of messages from fans asking to send them the lyrics of our songs.

Here they are:

Our Buried Secrets
 Buy this song from iTunes: click here

And our tombs, and our buried body, together, silence leaves us dream.
Darkness will steal us and it will blind our eyes with its immensity.
Victims of eternity, eradicated in the roots,
Extirpated with the evil, we are left with no mercy and no sense.

We are all and we are nothing, but we are together. Can i trust you?

I am losing my soul and i won’t find it.

I fight to save my spirit,i won’t stop myself and i won’t limp
My destiny is in my hands, i’m the only one who can change it.

We will finish something we never started...and we’re blocked in the mystery of our secret.
We will finish something we never started...’cause we’re chained by our buried secrets.

Someone has given us the chance to live together,but we wasted it. 
But now it’s too late, we will remain in the silence.
The walls are strong, the bottom is deep, will you overcome your fear?
I feel you movin’, are you impatient?
You are condemned to stay there for eternity! 

“Frammenti di memorie percorrono la mia mente, la catturano, la dominano e la rendono fragile e docile..perchè?” 


Falling
Buy this song from iTunes: click here

Now it's too late, it's time to go
You left something you never had
When you're walking towards your arm
Searching for the guidelines among the stars

There's no one who can aid you
(It's just a dreamless sleep for me too)
See the death in front of your face
The worst meeting you will have

When you see the reality come back
It’s just your sickness, a new form of attack.
It hurts your brain, it’s cold like winter’s rain 
You feel breeze in your veins,you will rest in your chains.
A state you’ve never been to
Into these world of decadence, I will die and falling down…

I'll carry you where the light's gone
Where the things you created are destroyed
and the words you told me are forgotten
On the path of insanity, you're alone

There's no one who can aid you
It's just a dreamless sleep for me too
See the death in front of your face
The worst meeting you will have

Have you ever been inside the deepest state of convalescence?
Have you ever been a victim of  your own imagination?

I'll carry you where the light' s gone
Where the things you created are destroyed
and the words you told me are forgotten
On the path of insanity, you're alone

Exploding inside, burning brains through the flame of the worst fired disease.
Any justice for you, you’re the victim of your sufferings.

Falling down, into the world that binds us
trying to find, a better way to save yourself
going down, you live the shattering of your life
don'f forget, you're alone on the edge of reality

From the distant chaos of your mind that decline, of this shock,
This sensation of block that you rock, all this blood
Covers your eyes and penetrates your soul, makes you blind
Disability of living inside, any exceptions for anyone,the eternal downfall of mind!
Downfall of mind.


The Chosen One
Buy this song from iTunes: click here

And my mind now creates a new sensation
I’m trying to breath but I’m under suffocation
I left my world, I’m pulled in this inferno
These flames, this hate that makes me eternal.

And all I’ve ever tried to find, and all I’ve lived, all useless
My exertion, my pains, all useless.

Have I an aim in my life too? ”Find the roots of your source, of your race!”
Parallel connections give me the memory of a vision divine.

And also if I’ll die, the only thing I’ll know is that I tried.
Dead but satisfied.

I hear those whispering voices, coming from within.
This sensation, this madness, I am the chosen one!

This amnesia takes me to the daily nature of a time of freedom.
My strength is waning, these aura of war. 

And also if I’ll die, the only thing that I’ll know
Is that I tried.
A bidimensional world, and I’m in between..
Simultaneously  confused, and I can’t understand
‘Cause I’m dead but alive.

Celestial bodies show me the gods of the past (the gods of the past)
that opened the bowels of the Earth to disown them.
So why am I the victim?


Damned Visions
Buy this song from iTunes: click here

Totally wet, I’m followed by someone
The sky cries water, the blade is sharp
The blood is poured on the ground by the weapon
Everything blind, I can’t see my opponent

The bodies lacking of life, are suffering images
I can’t hear any sound, because my senses now are obscured!

I’m confused, I don’t know where I am
This strange landscape, these damned visions 

You live the dream! You feel the dream!
You can’t escape, you are just trapped!

I can’t believe it, I can’t explain this,
Is it just an illusion?
My senses are blinded, my body’s blocked
What the fuck is happening?
What the fuck is happening?
          
Totally wet, I’m followed by someone
The sky cries water, the blade is sharp
The blood is poured on the ground by the weapon
Everything blind , I can’t see my opponent
                  
The bodies lacking of life, are suffering images
I can’t hear any sound, because my senses now are obscured!

You live the dream, you feel the dream
You can’t escape, you are just trapped.
You live the dream, you feel the dream
You can’t escape, you are just trapped.

I can’t believe it, I can’t explain this,
What the fuck is happening?

You live the dream, you feel the dream
You can’t escape, you are just trapped.


Venom Of Life
Buy this song from iTunes: click here

First you feel burn, then you feel pain, now you feel nothing.
Why am I suffering for you?
Destruction, illusion, I’m in a prison of fusion
And the blood drains from my hands!

Why?
The venom’s in my veins, how can I get away all of my pain? 
This is the venom of life!

In the silence, it brings you down in the darkness!
You can’t think now that you’re dead
It destroys you, it removes your memory
And there is nothing left to do!

Go!
 
Voices, visions, noises from outside.
I can feel the passage of  Death.
Now it’s begun my last fight.
I hear crying, am I already dead?
Looking inside your eyes.
And I can’t explain.

I hold your hand and I guide you on this path
I know where we’re going, you haven’t an idea.
In this cold embrace of icy winds, we are searching
for salvation, together!

You killed me with your sick words
You killed my soul and killed my own
I injected you my venom of life
Will you remember me now?
Will you remember me now?

How?
The venom’s in my veins, how can I get away all of my pain? 
This is the venom of life!

In the silence it brings you down in the darkness!
You can’t think now that you’re dead
It destroys you, it removes your memory
And there is nothing left to do!

Fuck!

Voices, visions, noises from outside.
I can feel the passage of Death.
Now it’s begun my last fight.
I hear crying, am I already dead?
Looking inside your eyes.
And I can’t explain.

I hold your hand and I guide you on this path
I know where we’re going, you haven’t an idea.
In this cold embrace of icy winds, we are searching
for salvation, together!

You killed me with your sick words
You killed my soul and killed my own
I injected you my venom of life
Will you remember me now?
Will you remember me now?

Hi there,

So.. there are some great news: we're glad to announce that this summer we will play at both Metal Camp and Summer Breeze open Airs !

- Summer Breeze Open Air 2009 - August the 12th


"DREAMSHADE hail from the Italian part of Switzerland and have focused on very melodic Death Metal. Doing so they are as far away from Metalcore just as they are from wacky song structures without the necessary aggression. The relation between epic, melody and a kick in the teeth is pretty even, indeed. Despite SUMMER Breeze the boys will also open up the Slovenian Metal Camp festival which makes them one of the scene’s hopefuls with a reason (...) "


- Metal Camp Open Air 2009 - July the 3rd - 4:45 p.m

We hope to see you all at this amazing holiday/festival of 7 days. We will open the Main Stage at 4:45 p.m on friday, July the 3rd. 


See you all there :-)

All the best,
Dreamshade
