On Atlas' Shoulders - 'AION' (feat. Jeff Black)

INTRO
10, 9, 8 ...ignition sequence has started...
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

This is Omega 3-1-4. We have received
indecipherable signals from a place far
beyond human reach. On our mission to
explore the unknown, we are about to enter
the Andromeda Nebula.

What is this? I sense... mortality.
Behold my presence. For I am that which you
cannot fathom. Without limit. Eternal.
I am... Aion!

CHORUS
Far and wide
Planets align
I command eternal time
With one word of mine
You cannot defy
(Aion)
Bow to me
Supreme deity
I’m spinning the wheel of time
They live and they die
In the blink of an eye
(Aion)
VERSE 1
I am absolute, I am the breath of life
I am present, past and future, afterlife
Oceans, mountains, creatures and man bow
to me
For I am beginning and the end

CHORUS

VERSE 2
I am day and I am night, peace and strife
I am the four seasons, I’m the circle of life
Earth, water, wind and fi re follow my stride
The rise and the fall of the tides

I’m going to step off the L.E.M. now.
It’s one small step for a man
One giant leap for mankind.

INTERLUDE
As we fl y into the sky
Beyond our planet’s earthen ties
We wonder
Aion...
Outside the realm of what is known
Witnessing the celestial
The zodiac
To guide our way

VERSE 3
Suddenly, in awe we sense a cosmic touch
Are you life or death, say: are you one of us?
I am without equal yet an equal judge
The blows of my hammer are steadfast

CHORUS

OUTRO
Aion
Serenity
Aion
Eternally

This valley of history has seen mankind
complete its fi rst evolutionary step into the
universe, leaving planet earth and going
forward into the universe.

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 εξαετίας (το 2018) και χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους 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.»

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Invictus" 2020, "Hyperion" 2021), ένα ep ("A Dystopian Prequel" 2022) και μπόλικα singles. Το τρίτο full length album των Γερμανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "AION" και αναμένεται το επόμενο έτος (στις αρχές του 2025), με το μουσικό βίντεο του ομότιτλου τραγουδιού να προετοιμάζει το έδαφος.

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.»
