MOONSHADE - REVEAL NEW SINGLE/LYRIC VIDEO FOR "BLOOD OF THE TITANS"!
[2022.05.06]

Portuguese melodic death metal band MOONSHADE have revealed their new single and lyric video for the song "Blood of Titans" to be featured on the band second album "As We Set the Skies Ablaze" to be released on the 22nd of July 2022!

The band comments: "Who are you?
Sisyphus, punished by the gods for his pettyness, doomed to a kafkaesque existence?
Or Prometheus, punished by the gods for the glory of bringing Fire to Man?
Enter the second single from 'As We Set The Skies Ablaze', to be released in one week. Where Epitaph called for the salvation of Mankind from the natural hecatomb it created, "Blood Of The Titans" screams for our redemption through saving us from ourselves.
Join us in the revolution to end all revolutions.
You are expected."

COUNTRY: PORTUGAL

MOONSHADE - RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR "EPITAPH"!
[2021.04.08]

Portuguese melodic death metal band MOONSHADE have released their new music video for the single "Epitaph".

The band comments: "Around 2050, the most dire consequences of global warming will be irreversible. By then, a quarter million people will perish yearly as a direct consequence.
Yet, there is still time. We are incredibly proud to share this song with you, hoping that you will share it, and its message, with the world.
Protest, make your leaders know your vote depends on their grasp on carbon emissions.
Vote, get informed and support political associations with a true climate agenda based on the current scientific consensus.
Rise above this fate most dire we forged for ourselves.
Otherwise, consider this our 'Epitaph'.

Join us in the revolution to end all revolutions - the one that will save all there is to save.
You are expected."

BIOGRAPHY:

In 2010, guitarist Pedro Quelhas and drummer Cristiano Brito left gothic rock band Deep Cut, determined to venture into a new project. Soon after, they joined forces with guitarist Dinis Martins, bassist Rúben Oliveira and lead singer Ricardo Pereira, and founded Moonshade.

Influenced at first by northern Europe’s recent wave of melodic death metal bands, and with a clear goal of combining melodic and extreme elements, they released “The Path Of Redemption”, their first EP, which came out solely in digital format and was produced by Pedro Quelhas himself. After a few concerts, came the first lineup changes: Cristiano and Rúben left the band and bassist Afonso Aguiar joined the ranks.

In 2014, the band released their second EP, entitled “Dream | Oblivion” – their first work to be released in physical form. The album, which featured Luís Neto as a session drummer, was also produced by Pedro Quelhas, and its release was accompanied by the release of the “Goddess Eternal” single, as well as the addition of drummer Sandro Rodrigues to the lineup. In 2015, guitarist Daniel Laureano and keyboard player Nuno Barbosa joined the band, marking the dawn of a new era for Moonshade, who spent the next couple of years performing on some of Portugal’s biggest stages, such as Vagos Open Air, Pax Julia Metal Fest and Morbid Spring Fest, among others.

At the tail end of 2017, Afonso left the band and keyboardist Nuno became the band’s new bass player, a function he accumulated with his former one. This lineup recorded the “Sun Dethroned” album, the band’s debut full length. The record, a conceptual piece exploring the balance between good and evil, and its necessity in life, was released by Spanish label Art Gates Records, in 2018.

After a string of successful shows and Sandro’s departure, the band announced their first international shows, as part of the Dethroning Stars Tour, alongside fellow northern Portuguese band Apotheus, and featuring Diogo Mota as a live drummer.

Already peeking at their tenth anniversary, Moonshade are more alive than ever, in their constant aim to musically redefine the beauty within chaos, death and despair

BIOGRAPHY:

In 2010, guitarist Pedro Quelhas and drummer Cristiano Brito left gothic rock band Deep Cut, determined to venture into a new project. Soon after, they joined forces with guitarist Dinis Martins, bassist Rúben Oliveira and lead singer Ricardo Pereira, and founded Moonshade.

Influenced at first by northern Europe’s recent wave of melodic death metal bands, and with a clear goal of combining melodic and extreme elements, they released “The Path Of Redemption”, their first EP, which came out solely in digital format and was produced by Pedro Quelhas himself. After a few concerts, came the first lineup changes: Cristiano and Rúben left the band and bassist Afonso Aguiar joined the ranks.

In 2014, the band released their second EP, entitled “Dream | Oblivion” – their first work to be released in physical form. The album, which featured Luís Neto as a session drummer, was also produced by Pedro Quelhas, and its release was accompanied by the release of the “Goddess Eternal” single, as well as the addition of drummer Sandro Rodrigues to the lineup. In 2015, guitarist Daniel Laureano and keyboard player Nuno Barbosa joined the band, marking the dawn of a new era for Moonshade, who spent the next couple of years performing on some of Portugal’s biggest stages, such as Vagos Open Air, Pax Julia Metal Fest and Morbid Spring Fest, among others.

At the tail end of 2017, Afonso left the band and keyboardist Nuno became the band’s new bass player, a function he accumulated with his former one. This lineup recorded the “Sun Dethroned” album, the band’s debut full length. The record, a conceptual piece exploring the balance between good and evil, and its necessity in life, was released by Spanish label Art Gates Records, in 2018.

After a string of successful shows and Sandro’s departure, the band announced their first international shows, as part of the Dethroning Stars Tour, alongside fellow northern Portuguese band Apotheus, and featuring Diogo Mota as a live drummer.

Already peeking at their tenth anniversary, Moonshade are more alive than ever, in their constant aim to musically redefine the beauty within chaos, death and despair
