The debut album by the magical band PARHELYON (meaning 'sun dog' in English) is titled "From Dark to Light" and will be released on 24 October 2025 via Metalapolis Records. PARHELYON's music is a mystical blend of symphonic and bombastic heavy metal, featuring ethereal and melodic gothic elements, as well as the angelic vocals of Tanja Hansen. The four-piece band consists of the congenial duo of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Michael Vetter, and singer Tanja Hansen, who is also responsible for the profound lyrics and meaningful vocal melodies. They are supported by the fantastic rhythm section of bassist Frank Herold and drummer Bernd Heining. "From Dark to Light" is likely to appeal most to fans of ethereal female vocals combined with spiritual lyrics, deep and passionate guitars, melodic and mysterious harmonies, and hypnotic beats. The album is characterised by heart and soul, joy and deep happiness, a penchant for detailed perfection balanced with
authenticity and special dedication. As a special surprise, Parhelion was able to secure Michelle Darkness from END OF GREEN as a guest vocalist for the song "Luminus". His dark vocals and powerful growls make him the perfect Luciferian counterpart to Tanja's angelic
singing. Stefan Leibing (ex-PRIMAL FEAR) was responsible for the mixing and mastering, fine-tuning the sound to perfection.
