Shade and Dust is an Alternative Death Metal band born in 2015, nearby Nantes, in France.
Different influences such as Lamb of God, Gojira, Sepultura or Devildriver lead them to combine the Death brutality and the Thrash riffing with some alternative keys. On the words side, the band approaches themes like fatality, absurdity of life, time or perceptions through their own view.
On stage, one thing is for sure, the five musicians don’t want you to remain indifferent. Emerging from the shade for their very first time, the group ends up victorious at the Vignoble Nantais musical tournament 2017.
The adventure begins and the shows to follow are getting more and more important. Note, the Motocultor Metal Fest warm up 2017, Amarok Metal Fest 2018 or Nantes Metal Fest 2018. Great experiences allowing them to share some scenes with bands of national stature such as Deficiency, Malkavian, Heart attack, DeathAwaits, Flayed or Sticky Boys.
Shade and Dust enters 2019 at a turning point. New scenography for a new show, designed to carry their first album : Erode. Produced in Clisson, at the Vamacara studio (Loudblast, Dagoba, Joey Jordison, Les Tambours Du Bronx, Otargos,…).
Crossing the path of Aephanemer and Pensées Nocturnes at the Keudfest, Shade and Dust is well determined to step out of their homeland to show off more of loud stuff.
The journey has just begun.

lyrics

Exhibit A

What?
Where am I?
And how did I get there?
Calm down,

Turn the clock back, come to yourself, now.
No-one is there to see the mess, not yet.
Let's face it.

Boy, what have you done?
This shame is yours.
What a great scene of your inglorious games.
Lifeless white flesh to feed your guilt, it's gone too far.
Was it meant to be?

Exhibit A…
You're such a waste, a hopeless case!
How long will you try to hide it?
Resurfacing, exhibit A 'der these eyes of mine.

It's getting worse, now the day breaks.
The first rays of light reveal the playground
Of your insatiable thirst in dead silence.

No compassion,
I already knew you're such a lost cause.
Accept it or not, twisted you are.
So lost there's no solution to clean your soul.

Fast, you used to live fast.
Into the lust you thrived.
Fast, to get the best from all,
The further you climb, the higher you have to fall.
You wished it would never end but still,
Can't you remember me
Foreseeing your loss?

Go back, go back in time,
Before everything profoundly changed.
This world of yours was becoming so unstable.
Kept afloat by me.

Exhibit A…
You're such a waste, a hopeless case!
How long will you trying to hide it?
Resurfacing, exhibit A 'der these eyes of mine.
Under these eyes of mine,
Under these eyes of mine…

about

Shade and Dust Nantes, France

Du chaos comme de l’harmonie. Oscillant de l’un à l’autre pour trouver son équilibre, Shade and
Dust veut sa crise identitaire transformée en force. Une force tranquille dont la puissance est mise
au service d’une inspiration se souhaitant parfois bienveillante… Parfois beaucoup moins. ... more
