PAEAN

Formed in 2009, PAEAN is an Estonian Progressive Death Metal group that lyrically mixes together existentialistic, psychoanalytical and mythological narratives, where the conceptual fictions are accompanied by massive, complex and yet atmospheric diversity of extreme metal soundscapes, deriving inspiration from death/doom/black metal and ethereal acoustic interludes adding to the grim atmosphere. Prosaic lyrical concepts are brought to life by Kevin's powerful vocals. His bassplaying along with Magnus's drumming forms the rhythmical foundation onto which Heiko and Endrik lay their crushing riffs and soothing harmonies.

Scorn of Eternity (2015)

"Being towards my own death, not only I am in agony, knowing my final and painful demise, - but also in total discord and suspense. I am in constant fight between my savage will of flesh and "high-consciousness" - the torment of all humanity.."
Paean's debut album after (2011) Livium is conceptually a mixture of 20th century existential philosophy and psychoanalysis which is written in form of fiction, where the protagonist in order to end his sufferings less painfully, must give up human metaphysical ideals about the world, gods and the self - where the notion of "eternity" exists.
