And again a CD from the southern lands ends up on my desktop.
Actually, NIGHTSIDE should have grown out of the demo phase. But, unfortunately they lost their deal again, before they could record their debut CD. Not to disappear from the scene in the meantime, the 5 mates decided to record Shadows Weaver own and make it public.
On this EP you will find 6 tracks, which are far away from their early Dissection / At The Gates influenced roots.
Nowadays they present progressive Death Metal. I would like to refer to In Flames. The individual songs stay catchy and comprehensible, so not to get out of hand in complicated guitar hooks, but are still pretty varied. They vary in singing as well as in speed. Brutal Death Metal parts alternating with quiet and progressive sequences. 3 songs are running longer than 6 minutes, this is bad, because these tracks have weak-points. The guys don't seem quite experienced enough at this point to create songs on a constant high level. For sure it still will take a lot of sweat and sore fingers, but the guys are on their way.


Tracklist: Abyss Illusion, Darkness, The Line, Only One, Rain Dance
