[@ILLUMISHADE]

Thank you for watching! 💎🪶 LYRICS: ⬇ Riptide Trace my steps And follow me to where the riptides roll All that you hide inside will arise You’ll feel obsession flood your soul We’ll kiss the lips of despair Let it reach over you And devour all of your hope Let it be the moon (The moon) To your sun (Your sun) You’ll feel alive again Release yourself And listen duly to the sirens’ call All that you hide will run free Oh, but the body conquers all Let it reach over you And devour all of your hope Let it be the moon (The moon) To your sun (Your sun) You’ll feel alive again Let the waters run and let the rivers play Let it all succumb in tidal disarray Let it come undone and let it break away Break away, break away We’ll kiss the face of despair Let the waters run and let the rivers play Let it all succumb Let it reach over you And devour all of your hope Let it be the moon (The moon) To your sun (Your sun) You’ll feel alive again

[@alfredogarciabalderas6588]

Your lyrics made me remember that I have dreamt two dreams. In one Jesus (my daughter) showed me the middle finger. In the second heaven told me ALL.

[@alfredogarciabalderas6588]

The idea of accepting all spiritual communities doesn't sound bad if you look from the right angle. I've been watching reptilian aim. Without my nature they had been always lost. They pretend they're better than us, because they can't be us. Air corporation need to update to us. WITHOUT REASON EVERYBODY IS LOST

[@weikalice]

besitos 😃

[@markusvotterl2463]

Ich freue mich auf den 08.03. in Zürich 🤘 Hoffe ich schaffe es wieder in die 1. Reihe 😀

Thank you all for your feedback and your support! 💎 🪶

[@verminkillah6622]

Woah, are you the singer in this video? If so, you are not only talented, but beautiful also. 😁

[@Shehzain]

I love it!

[@xulfurric]

Amazingly illuminating our shade 💙❤️🩶

[@chrismorris6865]

Thank you, Fabi! See you when Illumishade plays in April!

[@darrenswan728]

Amazing song Fabi❤❤❤❤

[@GARYBLONDER]

A quality, sophisticated slice of Modern Metal. What it lacks in a hook it makes up for in being start-to-finish glorious. I loved the vocals, the flowing melody, the smooth interchanging of movements, the arrangements and a production that gives a great listening experience. It left me wanting it to be longer. A must for the Prog/Modern Metal playlist. My Score: Very Good 4*

[@chrisrobinson7728]

Bravo, give that girl a hand! 👏 Oh wait, she already has more than enough…

[@leilaiduhoze8350]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dominikawilgocka1169]

One of the best female voices, your voice flows deep into the soul. You are the best Fabienne❤

[@azidihaqeem7882]

Jonas is amazing guitarist

[@rpf23543]

What an amazing band, awesome riffs, melodies and solos….and the best: Solar guitars 😉😀 See you soon in 🇨🇭

[@gronkgrunk]

We're truly blessed to have a new song released today! The melody, the arrangement.. that solo, and not forgetting Fabienne's angelic vocals. Loving it! 🤘🏻❤

[@UnderTower]

Wow! What a surprise! Very nice song and so talented band!

[@avi1179]

@2:29 ufff that guitar solo

[@RonyRaven]

Yep, it is amazing, one more great solo to figure out 😊

[@kent_toysoldiers]

Fantastic song! 😘

[@chriskohout5628]

1st time hearing the band, Illumishade. I absolutely love'em. The song, "Riptide" kicks ass. Great song, great video.

[@lanneren]

Excellent video and fantastic band 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🎤🤘🏻💀🤘🏻excellent performance

[@raulaguilar9768]

This is the best song i´ve come across so far this 2024, it´s by far my favorite song from Illumishade! Can´t stop relistening to it, it has so many details, it keeps being interesting after so many replays, it must have been so hard to push the complexity to the max without ruining the melody, balancing the catchy melody and all the instrumental spice, the vocals are so good!, it´s awesome when bands achieve this kind of songs, keep bringing us this kind of music please!

[@NerdysseusYT]

Man, Tingilya Cosplay killing it! :)

[@benjaminzdrojowy4838]

I love this song so much and the character in the video is haunting and super cool. Love this sound.

[@peggygurley3731]

I absolutely love your music!

[@michaeldrayer5429]

Sounds killer! Can't wait to hear the whole album!

[@michalina_malisz]

Sooo cooool! 🔥 Great job, Illumishade!!! 😍

[@olivierconcerthallfrance]

TOTALLY AWESOME ! i hope to hear Ruptide in Switzerland ! 🤘🤘🤘

[@dominiquemortier7699]

Trop impatient d'entendre ce que nous réserve ce groupe talentueux. Les derniers morceaux sortis démontrent déjà un groupe très au dessus de la moyenne dans ce genre musical que nous adorons. La concurrence est rude mais il y a évidemment une place au sommet pour cette formation. Longue vie au groupe pour notre plus grand plaisir

[@KillerKojak]

Totalement d'accord.. ce band c'est hissé dans mon top 20 des meilleurs metal-mélodiques groupe (avec une chanteuse) de tous les temps !!! Dans mon playlist régulier depuis 2 ans env...

[@dominiquemortier7699]

Je reste un petit poil sur ma faim avec ce morceau. Les musicos sont excellents et le chant est divin mais le morceau en lui même est un poil en dessous des dernières compos... enfin à mon avis

[@ANOTHERKIND]

This album will be the best album of the year! 🖤

[@fritsyt2090]

Just love it like always! You guys are like a force and a rising star!! 💎🤘🏻

[@tadhg1959]

Yesssss! Illumishade, continues to impress!

[@ArseAOfficial]

Nice! cool work on drums! \m/

[@vincentkneuss3692]

De l'originalité qui fait progresser le Metal vers le meilleur, superbe travail ! 👍🤘🤘

[@naraiskandar4313]

Goddess. 💜

[@paulpiekos5834]

great song cant wait to see you goes in Toronto next weekend!

[@greenfaery25]

I loved seeing you guys and meeting you in Seattle! Thanks for signing my patch!!!

[@robingelebal8447]

Great melodic slammer song!

[@lexicalvoice]

Thats a thick groove, with a catchy hook, I got caught in the riptide!🌊

[@RomainOHara]

I had to listen to it a few times so it could grow on me like the masterpiece it is. So rich and complex. I can decide whether the sound feels happy or out there. I love it 🔥🤩🔥

[@NAAIL97]

First Elettra Storm now this band , 2024 symphonic metal looking very promising 😮

[@playgamescarlos]

I just watched music video by ILLUMISHADE! Their song is nice! Great instrumentals & vocals! The lyrics are gnarly there! :D The video is all good to me. The fog (from crew's Fog Machine) is cool, the lighting & camera movemen w/ video shots are a PLUS! :D The costumes arw enchantingly neat! The crew members did a terrific job making music video with ILLUMISHADE! Bravo! 👏

[@zephyr835]

The vocal start of the chorus is a great hook, and the 7/8 pattern for the second verse is sneaky. I also really like the effect on Fabi's voice coming out of the solo; it's a small thing but adds a fitting edge, especially for that part of the song. Well done, Illumishade! This really rewards going deeper (no pun intended) as a listener. 😄

[@kirkswinney1189]

This is very interesting! I like it!!

[@MasaHeadbanger]

Awesome!🥰

[@RonyRaven]

Awesome 😤🤘🏻💜💙

[@seanchiarot]

[@kenjones2312]

Another fine song, looking forward to the album on Friday. I need to get to the show in Toronto.

[@Zet4reticuli]

I am completely speechless.... What a fucking masterpiece of a song and production. Everything is perfect and on point. i don't know what else to say except that this is the best metal release i have heard in many many years. 🤘

[@azidihaqeem7882]

I agree 💯 Plus Jonas favourite guitarist is van halen and megadeth band

[@Zet4reticuli]

@@azidihaqeem7882 Jonas is amazing & incredible: 100% taste and no useless non-beneficiary showcase of his skills. Everything he does supports the song/production, a true craftsman.

[@sergeant008]

Thank you for awesome music!

[@rainmaker6676]

Ce groupe est extraordinaire et si créatif...Il mériterait des millions de vues...Et Fabi est je pense l'une des plus belles voix de la planète...Good job et longue vie à vous. ❤🇨🇭❤
