User Album Review
On the band’s fourth album Shades Of Humanity, featuring former HAMMERFALL/JORN bassist Magnus Rosen, SHADOWSIDE have addressed a wide range of challenging topics ranging from depression to abortion and even the wanton environmental destruction of the planet’s ecosystem - in this case, the deadly 2015 dam breach in the Brazilian province of Mariana as recounted in the track “Stream Of Shame”. That said, there’s more to SHADOWSIDE than them simply being a metal band with a talented frontwoman whose lyrical topic matter addresses issues more comparable towards Bono than Joey DeMaio. Dani Nolden is clearly an entertainer first, preferring to use her music and her voice to have the greater impact as a catalyst for change rather than having to preach. Her vocal prowess on tracks such as “Alive” and “Beast Inside” in particular highlight her impassioned yet powerfully melodic tone. Her bandmates aren’t no slouch either when in front of the mic; Magnus Rosen and guitarist Raphael Mattos can deliver some fiery backing vocals, particularly in “Beast Inside” and the melodically haunting number “Drifter”. Finally, the dual production magic of Fredrik Nordstrom bring out the band’s most energetic and spontaneous performances to date.
