ILLUMISHADE, featuring ELUVEITIE members, releases new single 'Heatwave'
26-05-2026
Following the release of the melancholic, groove-laden “Paralyzed” in May, Swiss modern metal outfit ILLUMISHADE, featuring ELUVEITIE vocalist Fabienne Erni and guitarist Jonas Wolf, releases their new Napalm Records released single “Heatwave”, featuring Adrienne Cowan (SEVEN SPIRES). “Heatwave” is out now on all streaming platforms and comes with an accompanying music video.
Watch “Heatwave” below.
Erni says: “Adrienne‘s versatility never ceases to amaze me. Her powerful screams, expressive clean vocals, and unique artistic voice made this collaboration something truly special. We felt that this song needed exactly the kind of intensity and character that only she can bring.”
Cowan adds: “Impending doom, Phrygian dominant melodies, nasty riffs (and I mean that in the best way)… ILLUMISHADE cooked a feast of many of my favorite modern metal flavours with ‘Heatwave’, and the pleasure of being Fabienne’s dark counterpart at the end of the world was the cherry on top. They’re all such wonderfully skilled and hardworking musicians, and I’m very happy to be part of this song. Thanks guys!”

Fabienne states: “We’ve come to a point of stepping out of the cocoon. It feels like a soft revolution led us to this version of ILLUMISHADE — defying comparisons to other contemporary metal bands. It’s essentially our very own thing.”
Adds ILLUMISHADE guitarist Jonas Wolf: “We found a place where a towering heaviness meets a soothing kind of melancholia. We’re curious to see where this song will lead us next.”
