Led by vocalist David Häusermann, guitarist and vocalist Mauro Gugerli, guitarist Tristan Meier, bassist Loris De Notaristefano, and drummer Michael Teufelberger, the heavy new Swiss band Vicious Rain has unveiled their latest single, ‘Shadow Dancer’.
This release further solidifies Vicious Rain’s presence in the music scene and coincides with the highly anticipated announcement of their debut album, »There Is Beauty In Letting Go«, out on October 11th via Arising Empire.
‘Shadow Dancer’ tells the story of two people who, despite their profound love for each other, recognize that they might not be the right person for the relationship to flourish. This song is a testament to the complexity of relationships and the strength required to honor love by stepping away. It speaks to the enduring connection and mutual support that remains, even as they go their separate ways.
“In ‘Shadow Dancer,’ we wanted to explore the theme of love that transcends circumstances. It’s about two people who part ways not because they lack love, but because they respect and support each other enough to understand that they are not the right person for each other, or the timing isn’t right. The song is a celebration of that kind of mature, selfless love”, says Mauro Gugerli.
Formed in late 2022 Vicious Rain is an alternative metalcore band hailing from Baden, Switzerland. who bring several years of professional recording and live show experience.
Combining influences as intertwined singing/screaming vocals – with a pinch of hope-infused singalongs, screaming melodic leads topped with crushing breakdowns – embracing everything from the heavy side of the genre all the way to the more intimate melodic side. The band‘s spirit is marked by their shared belief in the importance of solidarity and the role of the individual accomplishment of a common vision. Lyrically the band expresses their stance on recent and recurring personal matters without mincing their words. Believing that self reflection is the key in order to grow.
