Interview with Dani Nolden and Raphael Mattos at www.Showlivre.com

My dear Babies in the Dark!

Yesterday, Raphael and I recorded an interview for a HUGE web TV show at www.Showlivre.com . We had a chat with host AD Luna about our careers, with and without Shadowside, the new CD Dare to Dream and the upcoming tour. We also recorded a little ad for an exclusive Showlivre contest that will give away Shadowside CDs, t-shirts and doo-rags!

Of course the best part of the whole thing was Rapha trying to memorize his lines for the ad but failing miserably... I'll try getting my hands on those recordings just so I'm able to make fun of him during the whole 16 hours long flight from Brazil to Sweden next week , Ops.... my horns are showing...lol

The show featuring Shadowside will be aired in a couple of weeks so I'll keep you updated until then. Meanwhile, here's a little teaser:

Shadowside - "Dare To Dream" (2009

Review by Tony Cannella - Femme Metal Webzine - www.femmemetal.net

Rating 9.0/10

Brazil'sShadowsidemade quite an impression on me with their fantastic 2006 CD Theatre of Shadow. I was instantly drawn to the power and passion of that CD and the fierce vocals of Dani Nolden. The band plays no frills unadulterated heavy metal and they have returned with their newest CD Dare To Dream. Having already been a fan of the previous CD, I looked forward to this one with much anticipation.

"Nation Hollow Mind" is the frenzied opener and it sets a great tone for what is to follow. This song has a great chorus and melody that sinks it's claws into you and won't let go. r apheal Mattosalso deliveres a fantastic guitar solo here. "In The Night" is next and is great showcase for the powerful vocals of Dani Nolden. Her voice is just so strong and it has so much power that she is fast becoming one of my favorite vocalists and she will definitely make her mark in the metal genre. There is no let up whatsoever as "Last Thoughts" pounds through the speakers. More undeniable power and rhythms that has been the hallmark of this band. This song just has a relentless melody. "Hideaway" is next and although it starts off slow it quickly builds up steam and settles nicely into a mid-tempo rocker with nice pace to it. Next up is the first single release "Baby In The Dark" and it's easy to see why this was chosen as the single. It definitely has the ability to appeal to a wide range of metal and rock fans in general. "Ready Or Not" is next is instantly a favorite thanks to it's catchy chorus that just sticks in your head after one listen. "Time To Say Goodbye" is a nice ballad that offers a change of pace and this track really stands out. Other highlights include: "Memories", "Wings Of Freedom", "Life Denied" and the final track "Dare To Dream".

I am not sure if Shadowside has surpassed Theatre Of Shadows - that would be a monumental task but with Dare To Dream they have - without a doubt - recorded a worthy follow-up. Dare To Dream features 11-songs and 47-minutes worth of high quality metal from a band that is also of a very high quality
