Nostalgia 7:43 release notes: Stephen Knapp, the same mind behind the chaotic and dissonant black metal band CERULEAN, inaugurates the SLEEP PARALYSYS project debuting with a self-titled album that addresses themes centered on fever dreams, anxiety and -obviously- sleep paralysis. Featuring a dissonant, genre-bending avant-garde black metal style with elements ranging from jazz, classical, chiptune and even vaporwave, SLEEP PARALYSIS takes the listener into nightmarish territory, where the tensions and neuroses accumulated in the daytime overflow at night during agitated dreams that paralyze the limbs and upset the mind, torn between the unconscious and the subconscious. The cover painting by Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos perfectly depicts the restlessness of SLEEP PARALYSIS' nocturnal music, now aggressive and biting, now elegant and sophisticated, and of themes that investigate the human psyche trapped in the monstrous web of its most hidden fears and ready to be devoured by anxiety and torment.
