Paracrona's Ringo Talks of Plans for Shows, Touring, and New Music!

 


Metal act PARACRONA have an album out there, with all new music in the works as well. A tour is being planned out, with a lot of touring and shows and more plans working themselves out. All of this can be found out below.

 

1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.

Ringo: Band History and Members: The band originated from a musical connection formed at the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2007 between vocalist Ringo Christiaan Van Droffelaar and lead guitarist Øystein Hansen. However, the project was put on hold until 2016 when it was revived as a full band. Their current lineup includes Audun Melby (rhythm guitar), from ColdFlesh Gregg Roland Schneider (bass),. The band is known for blending black metal with progressive elements and evocative atmospheres

2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?

Ringo: Well, I was on the balcony when I thought about how to call it, and it just came to me. I said it out loud, like it came from another world.

3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

Ring: That's really hard; there are way too many good bands to name just a few. Also, I'm probably not the best person to ask since I'm mostly locked up in the studio working on music. I don't get to hear much from other bands, and I try to avoid them so I can stay unique and not accidentally copy anyone.

4. How would you describe your style?

Ringo: So, our style is titanium metal—something new. A lot of people agree they can't really place us; they call us symphonic progressive black metal or black death metal,  titanium—more beautiful to look at and the strongest metal there is but with a bit of a lighter sound. That's why we're something new:

5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

Ringo: We released the album Sun God, and people love it. Our inbox is full of positive feedback, with listeners saying they play it every day, so we must be doing something right!

6. Do you have any new music in the works?

Ringo: Yep, we have lots of music in the works and are creating a variety of different songs. For the other album, we didn’t include every song we worked on; only the ones we felt truly deserved to be on it made the cut

7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

Ringo: We’re definitely planning a Scandinavian tour, but right now, we’re looking for a permanent drummer, which is tough because our music requires a lot of skill. Once we find the right fit, we’ll do it as soon as possible.

8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

Ringo: Well, that’s a tough one. It involves a lot of touring, especially big shows, and tackling significant subjects that the songs will cover.

9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

Ringo: You can listen to us on Spotify and Apple Music, or buy our physical CD, which will soon be re-released in stores. You can also check out our merch, including the shirt and belt buckle I wore in our music video, at www.paracrona.com.

10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

Ringo: That’s very skilled and genuinely real music that really resonates with people’s problems.
