    Very first album CD

    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

Ordalium

Keep your head down.
Here comes the storm, let it pass without sound.

Leave it to fate, the odds decide.
Thanks to the tricks you made up,
Wich may be tempting, wich may enthral.
Protected from life? From any wound, from every scar.

Oppressive silence for a face to face,
Somehow broken by shackles clinks.
No matter how hard I pray,
Hiding it from sight won't make it all disappear, disappear.

As the duel begin, will I hear the wind
Telling me, in a haunting whisper,
You've only cast my curse?
We're both cursed.

First dazed, am I blind enough
To place my life in their hands?
Drop it, I rather
Go my own way and refuse
Your sick ordalium.

Waking up,

In a theatre of lies, dismiss!
Drifting away
From clouded vision of life you created.
Tear it down.

Here comes the time for
The world to change,
For the smoke and mirrors you detained us in
To fall apart.

Aren't you done now? I wanna break the game.
No one will take the first step for us.
No matter how hard I pray,
Hiding it from sight won't make it all disappear, disappear.

Is there anyone to weigh
The scale of evidences?
I'll pick the road that
Keeps me away from your sick,
Your sick ordalium.

If it was up to me,
I'd take you down to set ourselves free.
Will this ever ends?

Are you done? Ordalium.
Are you done? Ordalium.
Are you done? Ordalium.
Are you done? Sick ordalium.

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.
