On Atlas' Shoulders - 'Gears of Life' (visualizer video)

Caught in between
I’ve come and gone
Drifting between worlds
Not knowing home
Fear of what will come
Am I capable?
Scratch the rust from my springs

Come at me, ‘cause I’m ready
I will show you what I can do

Chorus
Unraveling life’s mysteries
I want to know
A magic thrill of making discoveries
The gears of life are turning

They told me no
So I bowed down
‘Til my back broke in two
And I lost my crown
Like a machine
I stopped functioning
Time to repair what’s broken

Et cor contritum cum audacia
Accende ignem animae tuae
Vive!
Faciem vero - Veritas tua
Libera te et leva caput tuum
Invenies quod videbatur amissa

Yeah, I’m ready
I will show you what I can do

Chorus

Gears of life

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.»
