Swiss modern metal upstarts ILLUMISHADE have just unveiled their new single, Cloudreader, cut from their magical sophomore album and Napalm Records debut, Another Side of You, out February 16, 2024. The band is fronted by vocalist Fabienne Erni and guitarist Jonas Wolf (both of Eluveitie) and completed with orchestration and synths by film composer Mirjam Skal, bass by Yannick Urbanczik, and drums by Marc Friedrich.
Cloudreader follows the band’s recently released song Here We Are, shimmering as an accessible, uplifting anthem with highly dynamic and intricate drum work that descends upon the listener’s heart like a warm autumn sun. The new track comes with a visually palpable music video, matching perfectly with ILLUMISHADE’s breathtaking melodies.
ILLUMISHADE on Cloudreader: “‘Cloudreader’ describes our human journey as an ever-flowing tide of decay and renewal from which we can harvest a devout humility. Deeply remedial at its core, this song is a pathfinder for individual peace.”
