Behind The Tracks: Let Shades Do - A New Unworld (Single) (2025)

With their new single “A New Unworld”, let ShadeS do unveil a powerful and visionary piece of music that blends traditional heavy metal with bold, international influences. The track emerges from the creative minds of guitarist and composer Alex Under and vocalist and lyricist Candice Hellish, delivering a dystopian narrative wrapped in crushing riffs and evocative atmospheres.

Set in a post-atomic reality not too distant from our own, the song reflects on the spiritual and existential crisis of modern identity. “A New Unworld” confronts the listener with themes of dissolution, transformation, and the blurring boundaries between self and society.

The track features legendary guest appearances by Zachary “Zak” Stevens (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) on vocals and the globally renowned guitarist Neil Zaza, who delivers a soaring and emotional solo. Completing the line-up are Oliver Holzwarth on bass and Enrico “Chan Choosy” Cianciusi on drums, adding depth and cohesion to the sound.

The official music video, directed by Alex Visani, features Italian adult film actress Roberta Gemma in a symbolic and provocative role that enhances the unsettling, dreamlike quality of the visual concept, set in decadent and eerie scenarios.

“A New Unworld” is not just a song—it’s a dark and immersive journey through the fractured landscapes of our inner and outer worlds.
