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
Lies to cover lies
Another wicked way to lead innocence
To another disillusion, grab my hand, come.
Can you see it, at first well intended then, acting on its own.
Didn't see it growing and growing to take over control.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to cover an iron hand.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to set them up in a golden cage.
This is still the world you thought you knew,
Without artifice.
Here comes the time for you to rule,
Follow me, come.
Queen in the shadows, you
will have the whole world to redesign.
Imperium built by words shaping your reign,
Everything will be just fine.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to cover an iron hand.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to set them up in a golden cage.
All conflicts have gone away, life reaches perfection.
Embrace our jaded mind,
Reach out for the truth to lead them by lies.
We'll wait for the end of time,
I'll be watching from afar.
I've lost my faith, I gave up the fight.
Come, another wicked tale
goes on, on and on.
Will you listen or tell it,
Pick a side, come.
Here comes the last page of your ingenuous time.
At once your honesty becomes a selfish virtue.
Watch them wallow in their sea of illusions.
Turning a blind eye, ignoring their chains.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to cover an iron hand.
Lies to cover lies to cover lies to set them up in a golden cage.
Living in deny is the key to a peaceful life,
Until the truth comes out to tear the world down.
Do not trust me, I never wanted to
Set yourself free, I believe in you.
Do not trust me, I never wanted to
Set yourself free, I believe in you.
Do not trust me, I never wanted to
Set yourself free, I believe in you.
So, lies to cover lies to cover lies to create a life beyond this hell.
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
