Very melodic modern death metal with strong metalcore influences

WHAT SILENCE HIDES is a very consistent debut from Swiss band called Dreamshade. This melodic and accessible album has crystal clean, modern production that combined with keyboard parts results in extremely sweet sound. While it can be considered as a drawback, this effort is redeemed by some well constructed, catchy melodies and technical prowess of the musicians. The band rushes like a galloping horse without a moment's rest. If any slowdown happens, it lasts for maximum ten seconds.

Dreamshade draws on traditional melodic death, more modern solutions taken from metalcore and even some symphonic ideas - there are parts rooted in classical music which is admirable. Some of them bring associations with Within Temptation as well.

Recommended to all fans of modern melodic death metal and metalcore. If you're looking for something nice, fast, well played and written, you should check it as well. This is a good album that maintains the same artistic standards from the beginning to the end.
