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
Promised to dust
"Saw the light", "Felt the touch".
You're lost, lost in a world you
Don't want to know, face it.
Weak after ages of reign,
Hidden, hoping against hope.
Proud of this scenery with
Eyes that can't see, blinded by the Light.
As if He had made it for you alone.
The truth has always been
Spread out to your gaze, you know.
Why’d’you care 'cause we are all Promised to dust.
Gates of this alternative world
Wide open, to breed these empty minds.
Proud of this scenery with
Eyes that can't see, blinded by the Light.
As if He had made it for you alone.
The truth has always been
Spread out to your gaze, you know.
Why’d’you care 'cause we are all Promised to dust.
Why oiling your own nails?
Why carrying your own cross?
What grace do you expect?
Guess what I see, looking at you.
I'm giving up, giving up, giving up on you.
Waiting for Light to crack the sky,
For all I know, you stand for nothing.
Why’d’you care 'cause we are all Promised to dust.
If an eye's above us, let the balance decide.
Game on.
Game on, got one shot to waste.
If God has a plan for us,
Why are you, why are you so afraid to die?
Weak, after ages of reign,
Hidden, hoping against hope.
Left to your own judgement,
Pray on, 'til being reduced to...

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
