I hope you, our dear readers, like the result and the interview. Stay tuned and get ready for the upcoming tours of Illumishade.
Illumishade – Another Side Of You
I know, there still are many other new albums of great and rising bands to be released in 2024. But it’s only February, and I might have already heard my “album of the year”. I can’t find any weak point in “Another Side Of You”.
Delain – Illumishade – live 2024
It has been quite a while since I last enjoyed Dutch Delain. I simply needed time to come over the loss of Merel and Charlotte. It finally led to a completely new line-up of the band with founder and keyboarder Martijn Westerholt remaining the only surviving original member. Support band of this tour is no other than Swiss shooting stars Illumishade around vocalist Fabienne Erni and guitarist Jonas Wolf of Eluveitie
Chatting with Marco of Temperance
Marco Pastorino of Temperence: "We are not using any guitar in the backing tracks and also no vocals and choirs in the backing tracks." Now that is a statement in the times of an overload of backing tracks and lip sync by far too many bands.
