That's what they were written for!"

"Dani Nolden (lead singer), Raphael Mattos (guitars), Ricardo Piccoli (bass) and Fabio Buitvidas (drums) would like to thank everyone around Iron Maiden, Mondo Entretenimento and HSBC Arena for the opportunity, attention and cordiality, as well as the crowd for such a warm reception.

"Alright, rockers... you've been waiting for quite a while to find out what happened during our stay in Europe and now the time has come! We have a bunch of pictures and stories to share with you. As most of you know, we spent two weeks in Europe and played in Bran, Romania and Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina in some of the most amazing locations one could possibly imagine. The Bran concert took place right in front of a castle known worldwide as Dracula's Castle, while in Banja Luka we performed inside of a true Roman castle.
"I would like to start this report differently however... this time, I'll start with the thanks. This would not have been possible if it wasn't for such special people, that did such an impecable job at making these festivals happen, treated us with extreme respect and made the whole tour run as smoothly as usually bands only dream about. There are always a few last minute problems a band has to solve that keep us from fully enjoying the experience and sometimes even turn out to be so bad that the show becomes the only good part of the day. This, however, didn't happen this time. I can't recall being worried at all during this tour. These promoters and helpers dealt with everything so well that us, the musicians, only had to focus on playing. Therefore, Shadowside would like to thank: More...

Brazilian metallers Shadowside, who had previously released their latest disc "Dare to Dream" only in Brazil, have now announced the album will see a worldwide release. "Dare to Dream" is set to drop on May 29th, 2010 via S4/NL distribution and will also include the previously unreleased track "Everlasting Sun" as a bonus song.
Recorded, produced and mixed by Dave Schiffman (Audioslave, System of a Down, Six Feet Under) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera, Rush, Aerosmith and several others), “Dare to Dream” is the band's second album. Shadowside has been on the road since the release of the debut album "Theatre of Shadows" in 2006 and has performed in South & North America and in Spain supporting the likes of Primal Fear, Nightwish, Helloween, Divine Heresy, Kittie and Sepultura.
Shadowside have just been confirmed at two Eastern Europe festivals. The band will perform on the third edition of Rockin' Transilvania in Romania, which takes place from June 18 to 20 in Bran's Castle.

Shadowside Posts "Hideaway" Video
Brazil's Shadowside has uploaded a music video for the song "Hideaway" from the "Dare to Dream" album, which can be viewed after the jump. The album was produced and mixed by Dave Schiffman and Howie Weinberg.

It features the band performing as well as lead singer Dani Nolden playing the main character. The band issued the following statement about the video and recruiting a new bassist:
"The song talks about people who are misunderstood, mistreated and put down by society for their whole lives, for the sole reason of being different and unusual. In this case, we portrayed it on a more personal level and showed a teenage girl accused by her mother of painting masks to disrespect her, to be aggressive, while all she wants is to express herself and ends up hiding who she really is. Also the band officially announces new bass player Ricardo Piccoli, who has been playing for the past few concerts. As well as an experient musician, Piccoli is also a producer."
Piccoli commented: "It was a pleasant surprise when I received the band's invitation and it's a huge pleasure to be part of the Shadowside family. I hadn't been as active as a musician, I was mostly producing. It feels great to be back on stage with these guys." More...
