Description: The album “Life is the Real” by Parousia is a diverse collection of dynamic rock songs written by the band while at “the Chamber”, a second-floor warehouse in Buffalo NY. All tracks recorded at Filippone Sound Studio, summer 1985. Songs include: “Rock Bottom”, “Pain Desire”, “Lie Awake”, “(I’m Gonna’) Kill You”, “Egos” and the title track “Life Is the Real”.
This ambitious album shows the band’s evolution in songwriting and reflects the close connection between the core members since reuniting in 1984. The album delivers six tasty and commercially viable songs in a style that does not stray far from the band’s progressive-rock roots.
