“The new single ‘RISE’ is one of our strongest songs ever, in my opinion,” says guitarist/vocalist Fernando “Fella” Di Cicco. “With a face-melting opening riff and an epic chorus, this song will take listeners on a wild ride and show them a heavier and darker side of Dreamshade. We always love to try and add new elements to our discography and this song came so naturally. We wanted a track that could add some ‘spice’ to our live setlist when needed — and this is it! The tune is about fighting all kinds of oppression and embracing the fact that it’s okay to be different in a world of clichés.”
Dreamshade will appear at Greenfield Festival in Switzerland and at Metal Capital Festival in Finland this year.
