ALBUM REVIEWS

 

Encrucijada – www.encrucijada-melodic.com.ar - 5/5

 

"… absolute creativity of their singer, miss Dani Nolden ... powerful voice, but sometimes so melodic that it fits perfectly to SHADOWSIDE’S melodic metal ... one of the most interesting propositions of the latinamerican metal ... an album full of good taste due to its melodies and compositions of the highest level."

 

Metalzone webzine - www.metalzone.com.br - 9,5/10

 

"... a PERFECT metal album."

 

Roadie Crew Magazine – www.roadiecrew.com - 8,5/10

 

"Undoubtely this record consolidates once and for all Shadowside’s career and shows we’ll still hear a lot from this band, and very well."

 

Metal Vox – www.metalvox.com.br - 10/10

 

"what a wonderful voice for a Heavy Metal band, do not expect angel-like vocals … (Dani) has an outstanding vocal power. Rough and strong voice … great singer, as well as gorgeous … what the guitar duo ... did on this album is impressive… put this album on the CD player ... If your neck stays still, you’re definitely dead and didn’t know it!"

 

Novo Metal Webzine – www.novometal.com - 9/10

" ... when I heard the Theatre of Shadows CD, from Shadowside, I got very excited ... … I risk saying they will be one of the next big bands from Brazil."

 

Rock Hard-Valhalla (formerly Valhalla Magazine) – www.valhalla.com.br – 9/10

"(Shadowside) managed to record an album that can be considered one of the best ever released on the national scene."

 

Rock Brigade Magazine – www.rockbrigade.com.br – 8,5/10

 

"Dani is a good looking singer, but she’s more like Bruce Dickinson meeting Sharon Osbourne in a pub than like Tarja Turunen running in slow motion to her argentinian husband in a flower field. The girl is enraged and is just right for the wonderfully executed heavy noise played ... It’s strong heavy metal, well played, something from people talented to compose and execute their job well. Congratulations to the band for the album!"

 

All the Bangers – www.allthebangers.com.br – 4/4

 

"... the CD is killer, excellent, no doubts one of the best ever released on the national scene. Great riffs, precise and fast rhythm section and a magisterial singer ... Killer work, high level Power Metal, competent, not dated and totally aproved!"

 

Whiplash – www.whiplash.net - 9/10 

" ... a band capable of going through heaviness and melody not losing their identity. ... A great debut. A CD that deserves respect and to be checked out ... Now it’s hitting the road!"

 

...And Heavy Metal for All  - www.andheavymetalforall.com.br – 10/10

 

" ... a virtuous quintet and with complete domain of what they’re doing. Great songs … will easily please the fans of the genre. A great stand out is singer Dani Nolden, who stays quite far from the already tired lyrical voices, showing her own line of highs and lows (oftenly confused with masculine vocals). Well played and right fitted solos  ... An album that should be heard by every metal fan."

 

LIVE REVIEWS - WITH HELLOWEEN

 

Metalzone – www.metalzone.com.br

 

"The band was great, formed by musicians on professional level that have everything to standout in the industry … And reception from the crowd was unbelievable. Vibrating even with songs they didn’t know … The group (this might be surprising!) made the audience scream just as much or even more than the main act, pleasing everybody and being warmly applauded at the end of the presentation."

 

Metal Revolution – www.metalrevolution.net

 

"The band’s presentation was of the highest level and impressed everybody … everybody in the band are great, however, I have to comment about the beautiful singer Dani Nolden with her unique timbre, as well as great stage presence, she showed an absurd control over the crowd, infecting everyone with her excitement. During the short but efficient gig, Shadowside was a very pleasant surprise and did one of the best performances I have ever seen an opening-act do."

 

Roadie Crew – by Aírton Diniz (Editor) - www.roadiecrew.com

 

"(bandmembers) showed why Shadowside’s work got the attention and interest from Seven/Universal Music … Presenting a setlist based on their recently released album … Shadowside made the crowd scream in their hometown from the beginning to end of their concert."

 

Novo Metal – www.novometal.com

 

"They’re all good, but the standout is singer Daniela Nolden … an unusual powerful voice, she knew how to cheer up the audience … On their debut CD, they already proved themselves as great songwriters. On that night they also proved to be good live, with a dynamic and overpowering show."

 

Whiplash – www.whiplash.net

 

"Vampire Hunter, with its catchy chorus, opened the gig in a very exciting way, with singer Dani Nolden commanding the crowd, which during the whole show, applauded and vibrated with the band ... great work from the guitar team … the rhythm section ... are no joke at all, being it clear on the ‘punch in the face’  Illusions ... … they did more than just a regular open-act concert, as they showed a lot of personality, stage presence (singer Dani Nolden in special) and quality in what they presented."
