ACROSS THE SHADE RELEASE "MADNESS"

PRESS RELEASE:

ACROSS THE SHADE was founded in 2011 by guitarist/vocalist Kamil Sikorski. It turned into a regular band in mid-2014 when Marcin (drums), Łukasz (guitars) and Bartek (bass) joined. So far, Silesian band released EP "Winter is Coming (2017) and album "Hope" (2019). Currently the band performs as a duo.

After almost 6 years band is releasing long awaited second studio album.

Music for new album titled "Madness" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Kamil Sikorski - leader of the band. Whole graphic design (cover artwork & layout) was done by Nikos Stavridakis known as VisionBlack who has in portfolio cooperation with bands as Ad Hominem, Before the Dawn, Dødsferd, Mors Subita and Wolfheart. Album is releasing digitally on January 24, 2025 (pre-save).

The sounds and lyrical themes oscillate around darkness, sadness, loss, and the inseparable relationship between a man and nature.

Musicians comments their upcoming album: “We wanted to make this album a little bit faster and agressive. And also we can think of it as the 'Hope' LP sequel. The name of the album - Madness - is its main theme. When someone encounters many adversities, eventually loses his hope. It can lead to them losing their sanity. The main goal is to overcome the madness. Maybe you can run away from it. Or maybe it will haunt you forever."

10 - Invisible Threads

“Invisible Threads” is a sonic assault that penetrates the darkest depths of existence. This album explores themes of human degradation, unspoken fears, and wars that ravage not only bodies but also minds. A fierce manifestation of death metal, “Invisible Threads” overwhelms the listener with a crescendo of sonic brutality and raw emotions—an unrelenting frontal impact from the first to the last track, destined to leave a lasting mark.

"We wanted to capture the essence of the shadows that dwell within each of us," explains frontman Francesco. "The composition of ‘Invisible Thread’s was a brutal and visceral process. Every note, every word is an invisible thread connecting these shadows to the reality around us. Additionally, renowned Italian street artist SNEM was fully involved in the creative process, visually translating the album's concept into artwork that amplifies and reflects both the music and the lyrics. This album is an invitation to confront your innermost self and dive deep, all the way to the bottom”.
