│╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Six years beyond their third album Inner Monster ║ │
│║ Out, Shadowside took time to evaluate their ║ │
│║ songwriting stance and gained ex-Hammerfall ║ │
│║ bassist Magnus RosΘn in the interim, aiming for ║ │
│║ personal distinction. Shades of Humanity as the ║ │
│║ fourth studio record embodies an outlook that ║ │
│║ teeters between commercial musical hooks and ║ │
│║ radio-friendly choruses, while also being ║ │
│║ diverse and dynamic in terms of subject matter ║ │
│║ and heavy metal standards. The 11 songs contain ║ │
│║ logical transitions plus added harmonic moments ║ │
│║ that propel the arrangements into a brain/body ║ │
│║ lock that will keep consumers satiated. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band use a power metal foundation thatÆs ║ │
│║ muscular versus flowery (think Brainstorm, not ║ │
│║ Freedom Call) and build around the constructs ║ │
│║ with lower tuning to add heaviness, plus ║ │
│║ occasional staccato-driven chords û allowing for ║ │
│║ diverse melody choices in the singing department ║ │
│║ not dissimilar to Kobra and the Lotus latest ║ │
│║ recordings. ôBeast Insideö and the follow up ║ │
│║ ôWhat Ifö exemplify this aspect, the latter ║ │
│║ featuring some tricky cymbal juggling and ║ │
│║ keyboard cyber swirls to intensify the ║ │
│║ aggressive atmosphere. ItÆs not easy to tackle ║ │
│║ personal subject matter like the first ║ │
│║ video/single ôAliveö û vocalist Dani Nolden ║ │
│║ discussing her lows and numbness due to ║ │
│║ depression, supplemented by an addictive guitar ║ │
│║ foundation and tasteful leads from Raphael ║ │
│║ Mattos that sit in an Evergrey playbook. When ║ │
│║ you want a faster adrenaline rush with gritter ║ │
│║ vocals, flashy double bass, and uplifting rhythm ║ │
│║ chugs look no further than ôMake My Fateö û a ║ │
│║ probable live staple to make the crowds rise. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ An interesting twist for Shades of Humanity ║ │
│║ comes in many of the topics tackled for the ║ │
│║ lyrics û itÆs not very often you have discussion ║ │
│║ about abortion, moral values, and the Mariana ║ │
│║ dam disaster within their home country of ║ │
│║ Brazil, giving them a social compass that ║ │
│║ engages and connects to their fanbase. It beats ║ │
│║ all that swords & sorcery, magical/mythical ║ │
│║ imagery from other power acts, right? Properly ║ │
│║ seeking out Fredman Studios and Fredrik ║ │
│║ Nordstr÷m to handle the mixing/production ║ │
│║ duties, Shadowside appear ready to gain broader ║ │
│║ acceptance from melodic power metal fans who ║ │
│║ desire heavy and catchy arrangements in a ║ │
│║ slightly similar stance to the Kobra and the ║ │
│║ Lotus or maybe Battle Beast. LetÆs hope we get a ║ │
│║ fifth record out quicker than six years, lest ║ │
│║ they lose the momentum achieved within. ║ │
