PERSEIDE Ignite a New Chapter with Haunting New Single ‘Shadows’

French rock/metal visionaries PERSEIDE return with “Shadows” — an evocative and cinematic single that marks the dawn of a new era for the band and heralds their forthcoming third album. Blending rock, metal, and American punk energy with atmospheric electronics, “Shadows” captures the fragile pursuit of illusion — where dreams of fulfillment dissolve into echoes of emptiness and deceit.

Through mirrors, masks, and relentless chases, “Shadows” paints the desperate escape of souls running from truth — trapped in a labyrinth of desires they can never satisfy. The result is a haunting reflection on humanity’s eternal struggle between light and deception, amplified by PERSEIDE’s signature melodic hooks and raw emotional power. 

Since their formation in 2010, PERSEIDE have carved out a distinctive place in the French and international heavy scene. From early recognition under OrageRock to sharing stages with Soilwork, Betraying The Martyrs, Cancer Bats, and Protest The Hero, the band’s evolution has been one of fearless reinvention. Their signing to WormHoleDeath in 2020 led to The Only Thing and a follow-up record, Pieces (2024), both establishing them as an unstoppable creative force. 

Now, in 2025, “Shadows” stands as both an awakening and a reckoning — a foretaste of the next PERSEIDE era. Behind the layers of reflection and distortion, one truth remains: in chasing the light, we must first face the darkness. 

From Lyon to the world — PERSEIDE return, reborn in the shadows.
