Hi there!
I am Costábile Salzano Jr., press agent for Shadowside, the rising star of the Brazilian Metal music and one of the most exalted bands in the country and abroad.
Founded in 2001, a daring and bold band, releasing a self-titled EP. With that CD, they surprised everyone and got the media's respect, being excellently reviewed and building a very strong and loyal fan base for their music full of personality and competence, having a very solid instrumental work and Dani Nolden's unique vocals, being one of the few in the world to have a strong yet melodic female voice such as hers.
After several gigs with excellent audience response, they were asked to be the opening act for the Finnish band Nightwish, at Credicard Hall, São Paulo, and the result couldn..t have been better: the crowd of 7000 people went crazy and reviews were great, some even considering Shadowside better than the main act.
Even independently, they reached a stand out position in the national scene and their work broke the Brazilian frontiers and had an impact in some places in Europe and Japan, selling out all the CD copies and several gigs in only one year of existence. That performance got them co-headlining a few gigs in 2002 with Shaaman, supporting the German band Primal Fear in half their Brazilian tour and playing a special gig in 2004 with Mark Cross (former Metalium and Helloween) and Edu Falaschi (Angra) as special guests.
After this big initial success and an outstanding tour the band entered the studio again to record new material, the now highly praised Theatre of Shadows. The Dancing in the Shadows Tour started in March 2006 with Helloween, in Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and Santos with amazing audience response and more dates are currently being scheduled around the world.
Shadowside has recently been awarded best band, best album, best live act and best vocalist of 2006 by several respected media vehicles and journalists, such as Airton Diniz at Roadie Crew Magazine and Rafael Carnovale at Whiplash.net The band are now writing the second full album, to be recorded during Summer this year. They promise to deliver an album full of energy, heaviness and intensity, combined with one of the most powerful female vocals ever heard.
