Biography

PARRIS   HYDE   is   the   new   band   of   Parris   Scaglione,   singer,   musician   and composer born in Milan, Italy. After   a   career   that   began   in   1986   and   which   saw   him   founder   of   bands   such as   Bonecrusher,   Middle   Ages   and   Waywarson,   in   2013   Parris,   tired   of   having to   depend   on   other   musicians,   decided   to   get   back   in   the   game   and   created his   solo   project   named   Parris   Hyde.   From   the   beginning   it   was   clear   the intention   to   create   a   character   more   than   just   a   musician,   starting   from   the name   Parris   Hyde   ,   an   evident   reference   to   the   Dr.   Jeckill   and   Mr.   Hyde double   personality.   The   music   also   followed   the   same   direction   and   the   first songs   were   provocative   and   disturbing,   as   well   as   the   image   was   shocking and horror. Based   on   these   premises,   the   first   4-track   EP   "I   killed   my   wife   with   a   knife" was    recorded    in    2014,    mainly    made    to    start    spreading    the    name    on specialized   press   and   webzine.   On   the   occasion   of   the   Christmas   holidays, the   single   "Metal   Bells"   was   released,   a   metal   version   of   Jingle   Bells,   with twisted lyrics. In   2015   while   Parris   was   working   on   the   first   full   length,   he   was   encouraged by   the   musicians   with   whom   he   was   occasionally   meeting   for   jam   sessions   to turn   his   project   into   a   real   band.   Thus   was   born   the   first   Parris   Hyde   line-up, composed,   in   addition   to   the   same,   by   Roby   Kant   on   guitar,   Max   Dean   on bass and Karl Teskio on drums. In   June   2016,   the   first   album   "Mors   Tua,   Vita   Mea"   was   released   via   the record   label   "Free   Mood   Promotion".   The   album   despite   a   debt   of   classic Metal,   already   denoted   an   originality   and   variety   of   contents,   as   highlighted   by the   specialized   press   .   In   support   of   the   album,   two   official   videos   were   made   : "Life   on   the   Line"   and   "2nd2no1".   At   the   same   time,   an   intense   live   activity began, with shows with a strong theatrical content. At the beginning of 2017 Paul Crow took over from guitar. The    following    year,    in    May    2018,    the    EP    "Undercover    I"    was    released, containing   in   addition   to   an   unreleased   song,   unusual   covers   such   as   "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga and "Living next door to Alice" by Smokie In   the   same   year   the   ambitious   short   movie   “Mors   tua,   Vita   Mea”   was   made,   a real   cinematic   trailer   whose   soundtrack,   composed   by   Parris   Hyde,   does   not consist   of   a   classic   Heavy   Metal   song   but   rather   an   orchestral   and   symphonic piece. A   series   of   changes   in   the   lineup   led   to   the   current   situation   in   which   the   band is   made   up   of   Parris   Hyde,   on   vocals   and   guitar,   Roby   Kant   on   bass   and   Karl Teskio on drums. In   the   following   years   the   band   committed   to   the   composition   and   recording   of the songs that will make up the new album Continuing   a   tradition   of   Christmas   songs,   for   Christmas   2020   the   unreleased single   "Santa   Wears   No   Mask"   is   released,   an   ironic   criticism   of   the   situation generated by the Covid-19 pandemic The   second   album   "Unlock   your   freedom",   finally   sees   the   light   in   March   2022, released   by   the   record   label   "Missleader   Records":   already   from   the   fantastic cover,   created   by   the   graphic   studio   "Saber   Core",      this   is   clearly   the   album   of maturity   for   Parris   Hyde:   the   songs   become   more   particular   and   structured:   a sort   of   intelligent   Metal   both   in   musical   and   lyrical   contents,   with   references   to both modern and classic and with veiled references to Hard Rock.

Unlock   your   freedom"   is   the   second   album   by   Parris   Hyde   and   confirms the good things already shown in the past with some pleasant news. The   technical   level   of   the   musicians   is   excellent   and   so   too   the   voice   of Parris   swithces   between   various   timbres,   to   give   greater   variety   to   the individual songs. The    songs    become    more    peculiar    and    structured,    always    keeping    the melody   clearly   in   evidence:   A   sort   of   intelligent   Metal   both   in   musical and   lyrical   contents,   with   references   to   both   modern   and   classic   and   with veiled   references   to   Hard   Rock.   Out   of   any   predefined   scheme   or   cliché, the   band   has   no   intention   of   comparing   itself   to   anyone   else,   as   in   the   way of   writing      there   is   no   intentional   reference   either   to   groups   or   to   a specific   musical   genre,   which   cannot   be   cataloged   except   in   the   broadest sense of  «Metal»
