The song was revisited again in 2010, when it was  completely rearranged and began to form the finalized version that was  eventually released on &#8220;MMXVI&#8221; on August 26, 2016. &#8220;By My Side&#8221; laid the  foundation of the sound that The Grand Masquerade would utilize in  their music.<\/p>\n<p> The video is produced by Owe Lingvall of DreamDay Media, who has  previously worked on music videos for bands such as Eclipse, Hemmerfall  and Kamelot. According to Freddy, the band chose Owe &#8220;because his  previous videos have a darker vibe to them, both his reputation and  completed works are excellent and he creates everything in 3D, so we are  able to get the environment we want.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> The Grand Masquerade has taken their music inspiration from the 80&#8217;s  glam-era rock and integrated the romantic image and mystique of the  Venetian Masquerade. The music is a fusion of melodic and high energy  hard rock, combined with the positive and bouncy vibes of pop-rock,  resulting in a fresh sound that leaves their unforgettable hooks stuck  in your head, while other notes linger with an almost hauntingly  ethereal undertone. <\/p>\n<p> Fans in Sweden may recall a series of commercials that ran in 2016 for  ATG Sverige, featuring the flamboyant rock band Vinnie and The Dreamers.  While the music and image of each band are completely independent of  one another, you will recognize that these are the same talented  musicians, transformed and now performing in their most memorable and  proficient manifestation. <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><span class=\"normal\">www.tgmband.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grand Masquerade, a Sweden based Melodic Rock group is releasing their first official music&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6585\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
