ACROSS THE SHADE

ACROSS THE SHADE was founded in 2011 by guitarist/vocalist Kamil Sikorski. It turned into a regular band in mid-2014 when Marcin (drums), Łukasz (guitars) and Bartek (bass) joined. So far, Silesian band released EP “Winter is Coming (2017) and album “Hope” (2019). Currently the band performs as a duo.

After almost 6 years band has released their long awaited second studio album.

Music for new album titled “Madness” was recorded, mixed and mastered by Kamil Sikorski – leader of the band. Whole graphic design (cover artwork & layout) was done by Nikos Stavridakis known as VisionBlack who has in portfolio cooperation with bands as Ad Hominem, Before the Dawn, Dødsferd, Mors Subita and Wolfheart. Album was released digitally on January 24, 2025.

The sounds and lyrical themes oscillate around darkness, sadness, loss, and the inseparable relationship between a man and nature.

Musicians comments their upcoming album: “We wanted to make this album a little bit faster and agressive. And also we can think of it as the ‘Hope’ LP sequel. The name of the album – Madness – is its main theme. When someone encounters many adversities, eventually loses his hope. It can lead to them losing their sanity. The main goal is to overcome the madness. Maybe you can run away from it. Or maybe it will haunt you forever.“
