European juggernauts Dreamshade have returned with a polished sound and the drive to make a name for themselves in the active rock scene, all of which can be heard and felt on their new album Vibrant. The record is out December 9 via Artery Recordings.

Ahead of the release, the band has premiered the new song "Up All Night" over at Revolver. Listen and learn more about the song here.

Since their inception in 2006, the quintet has steadily released new music that has allowed them to tour the world. The band released its first EP, To the Edge of Reality, in 2008. The EP quickly gained much well-deserved attention and landed the band performance slots at some of the most popular European music festivals, such as Metal Camp Open Air, Summer Breeze Open Air, and Metalfest.

Dreamshade's constant touring schedule soon captured the attention of Spinefarm Records/Universal Music, which signed them in 2010. In 2011, the band went on to release their debut full-length, What Silence Hides. As they toured heavily behind the record, they also released music videos for "Wide Awake," "Eternal," and "Miles Away." This activity fueled their ever-hectic touring schedule, which went on to include the Finnish Metal Expo, Germany’s Rock Hard Festival, the Czech Republic’s Basinfirefest, and Bulgaria’s Kavarna Rock Fest.

In Fall 2012, Dreamshade were finishing up their second album and touring Switzerland on new singles. Their second full-length, The Gift of Life, produced by the band along with Jacob Hansen, was released in January 2013. After this release, the band toured the U.S., Europe, and Asia, all the while maintaining their European fanbase that brought it to the forefront of the genre.

Now, they are releasing Vibrant via Artery.

In what is proposed to be their seminal work, Dreamshade reflect upon relationships of all kinds. The band recognizes the effects that familial relationships, romantic relationships, and long-lasting friendships have upon one's life. Recognizing that shifts in those relationships can either strengthen or weaken a person, the new record is a call to learn and grow from inevitable change.
