Chilean rock veteran Paulo Domic has unveiled 'Living on the Run', the lead single from his upcoming album 'Where Echoes End', which concludes a six-year trilogy. The track signals a shift toward modern production and melodic elements in his music. Domic's career spans over 25 years in the Chilean scene, including stints with notable bands.
Paulo Domic, a seasoned frontman from Chile, has released 'Living on the Run' as the opening track for his final album in a trilogy that began six years ago. This new effort, titled 'Where Echoes End', follows his 2019 release 'Travelling Soundtrack for the End of Times', which drew from 1970s rock influences, and 2021's 'The Ancient Lie', focused on classic heavy metal. The latest single narrates the journey of an individual who abandons struggles against harsh realities, finding peace in personal serenity and inner affirmation rather than external approval.
Musically, 'Living on the Run' previews an album that blends genres, including fast-paced neoclassical metal, epic doom with progressive touches, straightforward modern hard rock, and blues-infused emotional layers. The production emphasizes clarity and melody, moving beyond simple retrospection to a fresh synthesis.
Domic has built a 25-year presence in Chile's rock and metal landscape, leading bands like Inquisición and QueenMilk. He has performed alongside international acts such as Judas Priest, KISS, Whitesnake, Scorpions, and Deep Purple. 'Where Echoes End' highlights diverse styles tied to lyrics drawn from Domic's life and broader literary themes, exploring existence, endurance, and release from self-centeredness.
The album features contributions from Chilean musicians: Carlos Hernández on drums, Cristian Maturana on bass, and Nicolás Arce handling guitar and production. This collaboration solidifies Domic's signature style as the trilogy wraps up with robust, forward-looking compositions.
