Die Stockholmer Prog Metaller bzw. Hard Rocker PARALYDIUM, die gerade erst den Weggang ihres Sängers Mikael Sehlin bekannt gaben, streamen heute den ersten Song von ihrem “Universe Calls” Langeisen, das am 23. August herauskommt. Der mit dem neuen Sänger Alexander Lycke eingespielte Track ist dabei spielerisch dem Prog-Genre absolut angemessen und schafft es trotzdem auch für weniger musiktheoretisch Interessierte, einen sofort gut hörbaren und hard rockigen Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Und das können wirklich nicht alle Bands von sich behaupten.
PARALYDIUM erklären zur Auskopplung:
„Sands Of Time“ takes you on a journey through vast deserts where a man rises to power, destined to dominate the world. This powerful track blends mighty melodies with hard-hitting riffs and grooves, setting the tone for the album and offering a glimpse of what’s to come..

Lyrics:
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
