Formed in 2006, Dreamshade built their first lineup for more than a year. 2 years later they released their debut EP "To The Edge Of Reality" and played at some of the most prestigious Euro festivals such as MetalCamp 2008 and 2009, Summer Breeze Open Air 2009, Metalfest 2010 and more.
In September 2010 the band signed with Spinefarm Records/Universal Music. January 26th of 2011 saw the release of the band’s debut album "What Silence Hides" worldwide. The record was mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Sweden and mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York, USA. A special edition of the album containing a bonus track "It's Worth A Try" was later released by Universal Music Japan. 3 videos were shot: "Wide Awake", "Eternal" and "Miles Away". After the release Dreamshade promoted the album in several European festivals all through 2011 including Finnish Metal Expo, Metalfest, Rock Hard Festival, Basinfirefest, Rock Harz and Kavarna Rock Fest.
During the summer of 2012 they recorded their 2nd album "The Gift Of Life" (which came out on January 25th, 2013). The production and recording of "The Gift Of Life" was done in the band's own studio while Jacob Hansen (Denmark) took care of the mixing and mastering. Videos were shot for the songs "Photographs" and "Consumed Future". The lead single "Photographs" was released in October 2012. A Japanese edition (with 2 live bonus tracks) will be released.

Dreamshade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where all the pain seems so far and noise sounds like distant echoes
Watching the world change its course
Like fellas in the carnage of a retreat
We are here, hand in hand, with sparkling eyes and hearts full of hope
We are here, in the reign of serenity
We grew up in the sandiest storms, redefining our dreams
We rest here on the roof of the earth enjoying this eternal moment
As long as we'll be together, we'll be unbreakable, invincible, immortal
Together we'll never surrender: united as one
Watching the world change its course
Like fellas in the carnage of a retreat
And we are here
We grew up in the sandiest storms redefining our dreams
We rest here on the roof of the earth enjoying this eternal moment
I've changed my life for you, I've lost my hope,
I've broken hearts so hard, I'll never let you go
Eyes are crying, voices are screaming but I am still here with you
The lyrics to Dreamshade's song "Eternal" speak of two people who have persevered through hardship and have found a sense of peace and hopeful serenity on the roof of the world. The surrounding noise and pain are distant echoes as they watch the world change its course, likening it to the chaos of a retreat. Despite growing up in sandy storms and redefining their dreams, they find rest and joy in this eternal moment.
The lyrics hint at a deep connection between the two individuals, as they declare that they will be unbreakable, invincible, and immortal as long as they are together. They will never surrender, united as one. The last few lines of the song suggest a selfless dedication to the other person, with the singer having changed their life for their partner and swearing to never let them go even in the face of sadness and chaos.
Overall, "Eternal" is a song about finding peace and joy in the midst of a tumultuous world, anchored by a strong connection between two people who have weathered the storms together.
