Genre-defying Alternative Rock band Paraline are back with a new music video entitled “One Shot, One Kill“. This is the fourth music video from their new EP album Sound Weapon which was recently released on March 1, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Leo Andersen, and the album was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paraline.

“There is hardly a musician in the world who does not respect Kurt Cobain’s legacy.” says lead vocalist Leo Andresen. “If every generation has its day when music died, then for ours, that day was April 5, 1994 – almost exactly 30 years ago. This is why the theme of this video was extremely important to us. Since the song itself was originally written about Kurt, I am glad that we had the opportunity to realize this idea. The question ‘Why he did it?’ haunts me as a musician and a compassionate human being, and I wanted to pay respect to the bright but short path he took. This video was something completely new for us. We were not just shooting something abstract; we were talking about a real person for whom we have a lot of respect. We felt our responsibility and had an unusual feeling of uneasiness because of it. We were making a music video about a man we never knew, but who had an incredibly strong influence on all of us and possibly the whole world. He shaped the musical taste of more than one generation of listeners and musicians and did a lot for us personally, for which we will always respect and love this man.” Lead guitarist Kirill Langley continues, “There was something very chilling about this production. Even though we created the video from a place of respect and love, researching and reimagining the scene and props was hard, emotionally and mentally. We did something of an alternative history at the end of this video, but it’s still open for interpretation – it’s up to you to decide if the man in black is real or is something like The Grim Reaper.” Bassist Alex Shustoff adds, “We created four music videos on our own within the past six months. We starved and almost froze to death with ‘Icarus’, almost got electrocuted with ‘Hyperdynamic’, and this time… was more about an emotional struggle. The first time I saw our guy in character, I thought I’d seen a ghost! And let’s just say guns and drugs are no toys… I hope that somewhere in the parallel universe, all our heroes: Layne, Chester, Keith, Chris, Kurt, and many more are doing well. This is for them.”

The new EP titled Sound Weapon by alternative rock band Paraline is a battle cry straight from the soul. Packed into a military box featured on the album cover, this “weapon” thematically explores the glory and tragedy of mirrored duality through its music: parallel lines symmetrically perfect yet never connecting, like the brothers in the band. Musically, the groove is the key to the cages of the lockup, and it was recently released on March 1, 2024. The regal guitars open the war-chest, and the vocals are a smooth and lustrous searchlight chasing fear to the shadows and demons back into their snake pits. Plainly, the band takes rock music to a new level. The lyrics, interpreted literally, explore the chains and shackles of society, friends gone wrong, politics and relationships, and denials leading to emptiness. Moreso, however, this album is an epic example of what is most coveted in any art form. Sound Weapon is a sketchbook for the listener’s past and a launching pad for unrequited, bold imagination. Whether you see heaven, cold hell, the dazzling skin of the sun, or a sinister mist underneath a low moon, this record paints pictures that celebrate your journey and make your mystery rich and immortal. Now it is your turn to find out – what is in the box.

So far, the band has released four music videos from the album for the songs entitled “One Shot, One Kill”, “Hyperdynamic”, “Icarus”, and “1999”. Watch them all at this location.

Paraline (alternative rock) are back with a new music video entitled “Hyperdynamic“. This is the third music video from their new EP album Sound Weapon which was recently released on March 1, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Leo Andersen, and the album was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paraline.

“Hyperdynamic” is a strong and balanced track, an uncompromisingly powerful wall of sound.” says lead vocalist Leo Andresen. “This song encompasses all the strong aspects of our sound at the moment, serving as both a personal manifesto and a guide to our philosophy on life. For many of our close friends, this song is a cherished favorite and it was important for us to celebrate it with a music video. It was a challenging task – to visually reinforce and even amplify the song’s dynamics, so I’ll let you be the judge if we managed to achieve this.” 

Lead guitarist Kirill Langley continues, “We always push ourselves to the limit. We try to do something interesting and unusual, something no one has ever done before, and something that we will be proud of years from now. We greatly appreciate the people who love our music, and we give it our all to surprise and impress them. We want listeners to have a great time with Paraline and experience real emotions! In that sense, “Hyperdynamic” stands as a captivating piece of work. And I believe this video brings us closer to our listeners and alternative rock fans worldwide – by showing them something they haven’t ever seen before.” 

Bassist Alex Shustoff adds, “Each music video we make becomes increasingly difficult, and the filming of ‘Hyperdynamic’ was exceptionally demanding. Like any other creative endeavor, it was a voluminous and multi-layered process: preparation, execution, walking a path that neither you nor any of your acquaintances have walked before. At the same time, it is a very fulfilling process. You have to figure everything out, become an engineer, a pyrotechnician, or a stunt performer in one day with no chance for mistakes. Such challenging tasks and stress really develop you, and you learn something new every time and become morally and physically stronger…or you break, there’s no other option. You rarely think about this as a viewer, but now I’m on the other side of the curtain, and I can say that not everyone can handle it. But when you see the result, these songs and these videos – it’s incredibly cool. I can’t wait to perform this live now!”

Paraline (alternative rock) are back with a new music video and single entitled “Icarus“. This is the second music video and single from their upcoming EP album Sound Weapon which is scheduled to be released on March 1, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Leo Andersen.

“I could only describe the making of this video in three words… cold, unbelievably cold. For me personally, it was the hardest project we’ve ever done, but I’m damn happy with the result!” says bass guitarist Alex Shustoff. “When we were preparing the script for the video, I couldn’t imagine that the filming process would be as challenging as the story of Icarus and his father. On the day before, it snowed so much that it was impossible to drive to the location, even in an off-road vehicle specially prepared for the harsh winter! We essentially had to create a mile-long road with our own hands. As if that weren’t enough, nature rewarded us with strong winds and extremely low temperatures. We managed to survive, but it was a real test of our physical abilities and our characters!” Lead vocalist Leo Andersen adds, “The story of Icarus is very interesting in itself. It is a multifaceted story about a dream, about the struggle for oneself, one’s destiny and one’s future, and about the sacrifices one has to make for it. We saw ourselves in this myth and that’s how the song was born. You may see yourself in this story too, in which case we can only sympathize with you and hope that Icarus will support you and let you know that you are not the only one fighting for what you think is right. Despite the seriousness of its subject matter and its heavy sound – it’s a very tender and even heartwarming song, and we really wanted the video to support that feeling and we believe we accomplished this!”

PARALINE is an alternative rock band with a spectacular genre-defying fusion of insightful lyrics and haunting melodies that carry a profound and symbolic undertone denouncing totalitarianism, imperialism, and barbarism. The band just signed a worldwide deal with Eclipse Records and they just premiered a new music video and single entitled “1999” which is a powerful statement about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Middle East, and war itself. The band have also announced the availability of pre-orders for their upcoming EP album Sound Weapon which is scheduled to be released on March 1, 2024 via Eclipse Records.

“This was the loudest video shoot we ever did,” says bass guitarist Alex Shustoff. “We are a rock band and used to loud noise however, this was intense because we used real AK assault rifles with blank cartridges, and all the fire, explosions, and shots in the video were real. This is a very important song, because it is about the conflict in Ukraine so we wanted it to be accompanied by a music video. All our songs address serious themes and contemplate things that need to be discussed, but in today’s reality, this song is unfortunately particularly relevant. Since we film all our videos ourselves, we occasionally face limitations and difficulties that we don’t always manage to overcome. This time however, the theme is too serious to allow unclear expression.” Lead vocalist & guitarist Leo Andersen continues, “In this video, two opposing soldiers meet in open conflict. A battle ensues, and at its end, two indistinguishable people, literally enemies a minute ago, again take their original positions, ready for the cycle to repeat. The straight corridor symbolizes the inevitability of a direct confrontation, the absurd one-sidedness of all modern conflicts, and the lack of maneuvering space—people just clash head-on for no apparent reason, and the outcome is always the same. When anyone dies, it’s a tragedy because they lived, loved, grieved, worked, laughed, and then everything ended in a moment just because a total stranger declared them an enemy. They might have become the best of friends under different circumstances, who knows?”
