On Atlas' Shoulders - 'Swallow the Sun' (visualizer video)

Intro
Battered by loss
Emboldened by a call from the deep
Ignited by an inferno of raging ambition
And He who had swallowed the sun
Would let fi re rain onto this world

Verse 1
They locked away my body
But my heart never left you
Kept in the dark
Because they would not see the truth

Bridge 1
Let it rain fire
Onto this world

Chorus 1
I swallow the sun
The desert winds guiding me back home
I swallow the sun
And carry the fl ame to cleanse the wrong

Verse 2
Your touch is like moonlight
Your voice is like a song
It echoes through my dreams
It lets my heart beat ever strong

Bridge 2
My soul’s on fire
Raging desire

Chorus 2
I swallow the sun
I hear the sand whispering your name
I swallow the sun
Returning to where I once came

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Οι On Atlas' Shoulders μας έρχονται από την Γερμανία. Heavy metal συγκρότημα ("On Atlas' Shoulders - Heavy Metal from Germany!" μας συστήνονται), το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε προ επταετίας (το 2018) και χαρακτηρίζει την μουσική του κάπως έτσι:

«Memorable melodies, an impressive vocal range and backing vocals combined with harmonized guitar riffs, powerful solos and thundering double bass characterize their sound.»

Οι Γερμανοί metallers έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Invictus" 2020 και "Hyperion" 2021 οι δύο πρώτοι), ένα ep ("A Dystopian Prequel" 2022) και μπόλικα singles. Το (αυτοχρηματοδοτούμενο) τρίτο full length album των Γερμανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "AION" και βρίσκεται ήδη εκεί έξω (από τις 17 Ιανουαρίου 2025).

Bio: «On Atlas' Shoulders - Heavy Metal from Germany! Memorable melodies, an impressive vocal range and backing vocals combined with harmonized guitar riffs, powerful solos and thundering double bass characterize their sound.

The band was founded in late 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany, by Marius Bönisch (vocals) and Benjamin Chadwick (guitar) and completed with Björn Anders (guitar), Leonard Pick (drums) and Philipp "Sam" Brecht (bass). They released their debut album “Invictus” in 2020, second album "Hyperion" in 2021 and EP "A Dystopian Prequel" in 2022.

The name On Atlas’ Shoulders originates from the saying “standing on the shoulders of giants”. In science and philosophy, this theme implies that all progress is made by building upon previous discoveries. Individuals such as Albert Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton resemble the so-called “giants” who made essential breakthroughs and enabled further research and progression.

Instead of remaining in their shadows, progress is made by standing on their shoulders and using their knowledge as a catalyst for future discoveries. On Atlas’ Shoulders transfers this concept into the musical realm. Musicians and bands are influenced by the preceeding musical giants, build upon their work and transform the music into something new.»
