Paralydium - 'Sands Of Time' (official music video)

Raised to conquer the sands
Seize the deserts and make them his own
Pleas, their crestfallen wails
Could not alter the coming age

One by one will rise to the call
Ignite the crowd for succession
The breaking point, there’s no turning back
To the crucified

And the sun will rise
Over the dunes of a distant tomorrow

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don’t let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

The battle cry
From far away
Inside the dark he would find the prey
Within the mace, a demon's gaze
A life in the shade

In starlight, the path through salvation
Rising up from the dark
The kingdom before him in dormancy
To seek, to claim the throne

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don’t let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

Years, went rapidly by
As he governed with dismay and greed
At last his rule was to end
By impalement he faded out

And the sun will rise
Over the dunes of a distant tomorrow

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don’t let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise
Engulfing his soul evermore

Το 2015 δημιουργήθηκαν στην Σουηδία οι The Paralydium Project από δύο εν' ενεργεία (Jonathan Olsson, Georg Härnsten Egg) κι ένα πρώην (John Berg) μέλος των Dynazty. Την ίδια χρονιά κυκλοφόρησαν το ντεμπούτο τους, το ομότιτλο ep.

Προ πενταετίας, το 2019, μετονομάσθηκαν σε (σκέτο) Paralydium συνεχίζοντας ακάθεκτοι με τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο, ο οποίος τιτλοφορείται "Wolds Beyond" και κυκλοφόρησε την επόμενη χρονιά...

Ο διάδοχός του βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Universe Calls" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του καλοκαιριού μέσω της Frontiers Music srl...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Progressive act Paralydium emerged under the guidance of John Berg, a visionary with a passion for blending powerful riffs, melodic landscapes, cinematic atmospheres and hypnotic grooves.

Paralydium's music, influenced by metal, prog, and classical film scores, creates a unique sonic atmosphere — a journey that transcends the boundaries of space and time.

Paralydium upcoming 2nd release through Frontiers Records “Universe Calls” promises a diverse palette of hard-hitting riffs, atmospheric textures, seamless transitions, and the complexity of distinct songs interwoven.

Demonstrating an enduring quality, it serves to deepen the listener's immersion into the unique universe crafted by Paralydium.

After the gloomy years marked by the pandemic and global lockdowns, a period characterized by a lack of activity, the focus shifted to planning the future.

John, desiring to transcend previous achievements, aimed to amplify the progressive elements that defined Paralydium's essence.

With the addition of the new vocalist, Alexander Lycke, the ensuing chapter unfolded as a landscape of vast progressiveness, resulting in explosive musical outcomes.

The synergy of accomplished musicians and Alexander's immersive performances has ushered Paralydium into an exciting new era: "Universe Call".»
