BIOGRAPHY:
They exhibit a great combination of very aggressive extreme metal with keyboards both mighty and melodic. Great Riffs, Memorable Hooks, Ultrafast Drums, growling vocals, soaring keyboards, and melodic symphonic guitar lines power a Debut that will establish them on the scene instantlyFinland's answer to Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of FIlth and Crimson Moonlight! Orchestration as well as Melodic and Crazy Guitar Lines. Rivel Records. 2004.Parakletos are hailing from Osterbothnia in Finland. In this region most people speak Swedish and that's why they are singing in the cool Swedish language. (Nice to hear some black metal in Swedish!) Before I start talking about music I want to give the band credit for the megacool booklet that truly is metal to the bone. When it comes to the music there are many great tunes to enjoy. Something that sets this band apart from many other black bands is that the music has plenty of melodic harmonies and tasty guitar riffs. Music is overall both varied and well thought out. This makes the music very enjoyable. I totally love the lyrics! They are as Scriptural as they can be. Parakletos have even done a black metal version of the Lord's Prayer! Many lyrics are taken directly from the Bible and I can really feel the presence of God on the whole album. I really feel uplifted in my spirit when I listen to this cd and it draws me closer to God(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
