Biography

Shadowside is a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in 2001 in the city of Santos, São Paulo. The group officially began its activities with the release of a self-titled demo EP, catching the public's attention by opening for Nightwish in São Paulo, which generated high expectations for their first studio album, Theatre of Shadows, released in 2005.

Throughout their career, the band built a solid international reputation with tours in the United States and Europe, having toured alongside major names on the global scene such as Helloween, W.A.S.P. and Gamma Ray. Albums like Dare to Dream and Inner Monster Out consolidated the group's success, with the latter featuring prominent production and guest appearances by international musicians, as well as the collaboration of Roger Moreira from the band Ultraje a Rigor.

In 2015, the lineup featured the addition of renowned Swedish bassist Magnus Rosén, formerly of Hammerfall. With the release of the album Shades of Humanity in 2017, produced in Sweden under the direction of Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd, Shadowside reaffirmed its prestige in the national and international heavy metal scene, appearing on best-seller lists and receiving awards around the world.
