Solshade

Landing on the isthmus somewhere between subtle complexity, melodious motifs, and crushing low-end, Solshade (Madison, WI) weaves mathy-leaning spasms into a thread of contemplative metalcore. Their Silent Pendulum Records debut, "Proxy," pushes further into liminal textures, anthemic choruses, and a penchant for unraveling what it means to be transient.
