Metal does a wonderful job of transcending international barriers once more with this upcoming release. From the infamous French/Canadian metal rockers NightShade comes a tour de force of face-melting rock and roll in the form of their 4th studio album, "Predilections." After years of dominating the French Metal scene and expanding into Europe, the U.S. and Japan, the band is looking to expand their reach with an incredible album full of power, range and badass hooks that helps redefine the genre as a whole. With a sound similar to artists such as The Devil Wears Prada and Bring Me The Horizon, the band uses their face-melting skills to entice the audience with incredible music. Rather than using a steady buildup like most artists, NightShade begins the album at a full level 10 and keeps it there throughout the entire album, showcasing spine-tingling vocals and heavy riffs throughout. With songs such as "Sentient," "Enclave" and "What Dreams May Come", the album is a whirlwind of amazing music and talent that can only be described as a thrashing good time. With the album due out this upcoming week on February 12th, Metal fans from around the world are going to want to be sure to pick up their copies of NightShade's "Predilections," and see for themselves why time and time again this band has proven to be a force of reckoning in the metal world!
