Shadowside has uploaded
the video for the song Hideaway from the Dare to Dream album, second studio
effort from the Brazilian Metal band. This album was produced and mixed by
Dave Schiffman (System of a Down, Audioslave, Avenged Sevenfold and others)
and Howie Weinberg (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera, Rush and
others), and reached position number 4 in the Brazilian Metal
charts.
The video, directed,
produced and edited by Luiz Felipe Amorim, took place in an abandoned garage
in their hometown Santos, Brazil. It features the band performing as well as
lead singer Dani Nolden playing the main character. According to her, the song
talks about "people who are misunderstood, mistreated and put down by society
for their whole lives, for the sole reason of being different and
unusual. In this case, we portrayed it on a more personal level and
showed a teenage girl accused by her mother of painting masks to disrespect
her, to be aggressive, while all she wants is to express herself and ends up
hiding who she really is".
Also the band officially
announces new bass player Ricardo Piccoli, who has been playing for the past
few concerts. As well as an experient musician, Piccoli is also a producer.
"It was a pleasant surprise when I received the band's invitation and it's a
huge pleasure to be part of the Shadowside family. I hadn't been as active as
a musician, I was mostly producing. It feels great to be back on stage with
these guys.", said the new member. Current lineup is Dani Nolden (vocals),
Raphael Mattos (guitars), Ricardo Piccoli (bass) and Fabio Buitvidas
(drums).
