On Atlas' Shoulders - 'Rise Above' (official visualizer video)

Verse 1
Passed out in the mud
Heavy weighs the cross
Worn out to the bone
Yet far from a loss
No one recognized
This wretched machine
Thrown into the pit
Never to be seen

Chorus
A new beginning
We rise above
So far apart
Yet united hearts
Stand up with me and
Let’s rise above
Fighting with fire
Against all odds

Verse 2
Lights on, engine hum
Coming back to life
What was lost is found
Reassembling
Like a solar flare
Into overheat
Engage overdrive
Towards victory

Chorus x2

Outro
A new beginning
We rise above
Stand up with me!
Let’s rise above!

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.»
