Apocalyptic Metamorphosis with Wasumit Wongwai, Pratchaya Phadungthin Wasumit Wongwai: We kind of start with the album’s concept, what we would like our album to be as a final product. And then start writing the materials, majority guitars and bass and drums, then all come together, tweak here and there to fit our style. We always…

A Pale Blue Dot with Kevin Calì, Fella Fella: With this record, we gathered every era of the band. People who followed us over the years can expect to find familiar sounds from every album as well as completely new styles of Dreamshade music. We felt free to write whatever sounded DS to us in…

Upheaval with Apostolis “Yage” Karydis I (Apostolis) joined the band during the writing process of Upheaval, so my involvement in the writing and recording process was something that influenced the outcome. Also, having the experience from the previous album helped refine some of the processes this time around. Since we all have some sort of…

Together they blend their influences of American metalcore and European symphonic metal, combining the best that both genres offer. Nathan and I wrote most of the…
The Ronin with Bushido Code ‘The Ronin’ is a record we are super proud of. It’s an album that we really felt we hit out of the park when it was done. As far as the creative process, Derrick Voricci (guitars) writes the bulk of the riffs, and then we cut the song out of…
Into The Nothing with Wretched Tongues Wretched Tongues is a five-piece Deathcore outfit from the Northeastern United States.

Mountain Fever by Davidavi Dolev ‘Mountain Fever’ is by far our most colourful work yet. As such, we demanded the deepest pre-production process we have ever gone through; we wanted to share with the world all of the flavours of who we are as musicians and all of the spices of our geographical region. This…
To the Power of Eight with Stefan Schmidt “To the Power of Eight” is Van Canto’s 8. Album, this time we recorded with 8 musicians! Van Canto does not want to repeat too much when recording 2 albums. Each of our albums has a different mix, a different artwork, a different approach. This time, we…
Supreme and True at Night with Besatt We have been working on the album (with breaks) for almost four years. We had several tours for which we also had to prepare during this time. So the writing process itself wasn’t as long as it might seem, but we’ve changed the way we create new songs…
Blackened Sky by Rioghan The current situation with covid didn’t affect our work at all. We did most of the writing before the pandemic hit, and it took a while before it came to Finland, so we were “spared” during this particular process. Of course, live shows are non-existent right now, but that didn’t matter…
Starbourne Traveler with Mikael Dahl For many years I presented complete demo versions of the songs with guitars, bass, vocals and programmed drums and what ended up on the records was pretty much copies of those demo recordings. With the new line-up, I felt it was time to involve the others because they really wanted…
Sisters of the Moon with Alex ‘Sisters of the Moon’ It’s a two-song EP with covers of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Sisters of the Moon’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Die Young’ recorded at our studio. The idea came to us when Arthur joined the band, and we wanted to show everyone what he could do. ‘Sisters’ needed a…
Tears of Fire with Ulthima The pandemic restrictions hit just when we started the album recordings but fortunately, it didn’t really affect us in the process of recording other than having to postpone a few sessions but we tried to make the best of it and also I think in a way it stretched the…

The Demon behind My Mind with Ophelias Eye Ophelia’s Eye is a band from Switzerland with influences both from Gothenburg’s Melodic Death Metal sound and the early metalcore era of 2003.

Unity in Time with Huw We’re really excited to release the new album ‘Unity in Time’; although we’ve had a couple of EPs in recent years, it’s been a while since we’ve been able to do a full-length album, and we can’t wait for people to hear how we’ve grown and developed. Hopefully, they will…
