Dreamshade release new song ‘Lightbringers’
DREAMSHADE have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Lightbringers, is taken from the Swiss metallers’ upcoming new album, A Pale Blue Dot, which is scheduled to be released in March next year, via self-release.
The upcoming album was record was mixed and mastered by Danish Grammy Award-nominated producer Jacob Hansen [VOLBEAT, AMARANTHE], who also worked on the band’s The Gift Of Life album. The album also welcomes two special guests. On Stone Cold Digital you’ll find Italian singer Rose Villain, while on Nothing But The Truth, you can hear DARKEST HOUR frontman John Henry. The song was recorded on the road in February 2020, when DREAMSHADE guitarist Fella was filling in on DARKEST HOUR‘s 25th Anniversary Tour.
Speaking about the new song, frontman Kevin Calì says, “we’re all living a unique historical period in 2020 in which we move away from each other, keep our distances and lose touch. Everyone feels that need to return to the light and get out of this moment that makes us feel imprisoned.
That’s why we decided to release Lightbringers as the first song. It’s a special one for us. Written and recorded during lockdown. We knew we wanted to come back to our fans with a track that could hit them hard, bringing back our very own sound from The Gift Of Life record and modernising it.
The lyrics urge today’s generations to take care of one another and the beauty that surrounds us. It’s also an invitation for young people to reflect on the future. I believe we have a commitment to find a balance in life, to always try to improve ourselves and take care of this Pale Blue Dot.”

When deciding on a title for their new album, the band were “looking for something that could hold the meaning of both the importance and the futility of certain values as we know them. A distant look at humanity and our planet as a whole, as everything that’s important for us on Earth seems just so insignificant in the great scheme of things, compared to the universe,” says the band. “Selfishness and individualism have no place in the bigger picture, and this makes more and more sense to us as we wrote the record just before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and most of it was recorded and produced during lockdown, with a very different approach and experience than what we’re used to.”
