"Inner Monster Out"! That is the title of Shadowside's brand new
record. Third album in their career was produced, mixed and mastered by
Fredrik Nordström, one of the most important Heavy Metal producers
nowadays, at Fredman Studio, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Nordström is known
for his works with At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, In
Flames, Soilwork, Evergrey, Hammerfall, Bring me the Horizon and many
others.
Female lead singer Dani Nolden commented on the
title origin and sound of the new material: "'Inner Monster Out'" is
about letting your hidden persona show through, and about everything we
always classify as not normal in human beings. The lyrics deal with
everyone's fears, reactions, perversions, personality disorders and
although it can be seen as a dark album, it also makes it clear that we
all have a little bit of crazy and disturbed in a certain way. It's a
musically intense album, with lots of angry guitars, bringing together
the best of Dare to Dream and Theatre of Shadows, but with new and
better things that we didn't try before. I'm especially proud and happy
about the result we achieved on this album... we wrote and recorded
songs that we like to hear and play and it's by far our best material so
far. I can't wait to have it in my hands and then performing it live!"
The
official tracklist will be announced in the next few days. However
Dani Nolden (vocals), Raphael Mattos (guitars), Fabio Buitvidas (drums)
and Ricardo Piccoli (bass) have already revealed some of the song
titles. The title-song "Inner Monster Out" features Björn "Speed" Strid
(Soilwork), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity) and Niklas Isfeldt
(Dream Evil) as guest singers. "Gag Order" was part of the setlist on
the most recent European tour as W.A.S.P.'s special guests and received
high praise.
“Inner Monster Out” will be released on June 7th under North-American label SHP Records (Universal Music).
