Are you a fan of Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, Satyricon, or In Flames? Get ready to rock your world with PARACRONA! PARACRONA was born when Ringo Christiaan Van Droffelaar and Øystein Hansen crossed paths at the W:O:A metal festival in 2007. They combined their musical prowess to form a unique sound they lovingly refer to as 'Quantum Realism Metal' or 'Titanium.' Their music is a powerful blend of various metal styles, prog rock, classical music, and even pop. Beyond delivering a feast of atmospheric melodies, PARACRONA's lyrics emphasize spiritual growth, resistance against oppression, and the exploration of personal experiences. Their music is not just an auditory experience - it is a reflection of the life journey of its creators. Despite facing significant challenges, including a global lockdown and a cancer diagnosis, Ringo and Øystein pushed forward to complete their album. Mixed and mastered by the legendary Fredrik Nordström at the renowned Studio Fredman, the album is a testament to their dedication and resilience. Their team also includes Baard Kolstad, who breathed life into the tracks "Carry The Cross" and "Thriller" with his drumming skills. The background vocals are enriched by the enchanting voice of Siri Valdman, the Burning Spirit of Maat. At their live performances, you will see Ringo on vocals, Øystein on lead guitar, Gregg Roland on bass, Laszlo Juhos on drums, and Audun Melbye on rhythm guitar. Each member contributes to making each performance as intense and memorable as their recordings. |
