PARIAHLORD – Mirrors

“Mirrors” is PARIAHLORD’s most ambitious and complex work to date. The album’s eight tracks guide listeners through a journey of historical events and personal experiences, all wrapped in a sophisticated and abstract musical narrative. The band pushes its boundaries with a sound that’s both more refined and experimental, blending a stronger doom influence while maintaining their signature melodic style.

Produced once again by Martin Buchwalter at the renowned Gernhart Studios, “Mirrors” marks a new chapter in PARIAHLORD’s evolution. The band’s chemistry and dedication to pushing their craft forward are evident throughout the album.

Track Highlights:

• The Hole in the Wall: An acoustic-driven piece that sets the tone with its raw and heartfelt melodies.
• Nachtmahr: A haunting track that leads the listener into dark, eerie soundscapes.
• Oneironaut: The most progressive song PARIAHLORD has ever written, showcasing their technical prowess and creativity.
• Elysion: Captivating riffs and melodies make this track one of the highlights of “Mirrors”, where heaviness and catchiness are perfectly balanced.

Band Quotes:

Philipp Röttgers (Drums): “Musically, we have developed even further without losing our roots. The songs are more versatile, but still just as heavy. We’re excited to see how the fans react.”

Carsten Schmitt (Vocals/Guitar): “‘Mirrors’ is a further development of our sound. It’s darker, more emotional and at the same time more complex than ‘Vultures’, but without losing the energy and pressure that our fans love.”

Jan Kurtze (Bass): “Each track has its own identity, but as always in our case, they all come together to form a larger picture. With ‘Oneironaut’ in particular, we really pushed ourselves musically.”

Production Credits: Recorded, mixed, and produced by Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart Studios, “Mirrors” continues the band’s collaboration with one of the most respected heavy music producers in Germany.

Reviews (a selection)

“Mirrors” von PARIAHLORD ist ein Album, das mit handwerklicher Präzision, einem dichten Sound und Liebe zum Genre aufwartet. Die Produktion ist hervorragend, die Musiker beherrschen ihr Handwerk, und Fans von Stoner Rock und Stoner Doom werden hier viele vertraute Elemente wiederfinden. Besonders hervorzuheben sind der fette Bass-Sound, die fuzzy Gitarren und die durchdachten Kontraste zwischen kraftvollen und ruhigeren Passagen. – Stormbringer.at

Stoner Metallers PARIAHLORD return with their new album “Mirrors” and the record has quite an uncompromising and abrasive quality with brutally honest lyrics that you don’t initially expect. The album is quite progressive and superbly melodic with a slight Alternative sound that operates with a rough and ready determination which makes “Mirrors” quite a thrilling album to listen to. – Outlaws of the Sun

PARIAHLORD ist mit ‚Mirrors‘ ein ebenbürtiger Nachfolger zu ihrem erstklassigen Debüt geglückt. – Musikzirkus Magazin

Die veränderte Stimmung, steht der Musik von PARIAHLORD ausgezeichnet und zeigt eine Band, die stilistisch immer mehr wächst und gedeiht. – Musikreviews.de

… präsentiert das Trio einen düstereren und kälteren Sound als zuvor, der geschickt und kreisrund über einen roten Faden gespannt wird. (11/15 Punkte) – Betreutes Proggen
