"Five mates from Lugano, a tiny little town in Southern Switzerland, who decided they could change Melodic Metal" Formed in 2006, Dreamshade built their first lineup for more than a year. 2 years later they released their debut EP "To The Edge Of Reality" and played at some of the most prestigious Euro festivals such as MetalCamp 2008 and 2009, Summer Breeze Open Air 2009, Metalfest 2010 and more. In September 2010 the band signed with Spinefarm Records/Universal Music. January 26th of 2011 saw the release of the band’s debut album "What Silence Hides" worldwide. The record was mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Sweden and mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York, USA. A special edition of the album containing a bonus track "It's Worth A Try" was later released by Universal Music Japan. 3 videos were shot: "Wide Awake", "Eternal" and "Miles Away".
