1. Labyrinth is an Italian progressive power metal band created in 1991 in Tuscany, with famous former members (who has left the band since) like Fabio Lione (singer, Rhapsody) or Olaf Thorsen (guitarist, Vision Divine). Formed as Vision, which was later changed to Morbid Vision, and finally Labyrinth in 1994. The band members used to use pseudonyms, many of which were anglicized versions of their own names. Only Olaf Thorsen still uses a stage name. Labyrinth rose to fame in 1998 with the release of their second full length album, 'Return To Heaven Denied', on Metal Blade Records. That album allowed the band to be recognised as a leading force of the European metal scene and many prestigious tours (including a full European run with Hammerfall) and festival appearances (most notably Wacken, Dynamo and Gods Of Metal) followed its release, enforcing the name Labyrinth in the entire world. After album, 'Sons Of Thunder' (2002) and more tours with heavy metal luminaries such as Helloween and Iron Saviour among others, guitar player and mastermind Olaf Thorsen parted ways with the band in 2002 and started working with his new band Vision Divine. The remaining members of Labyrinth kept running on a different path, exploring a heavier musical approach and signing record deals with Century Media ('Labyrinth, 2003) and Scarlet Records ('6 Days To Nowhere', 2006) in the following years.
In 2009 labyrinth announced that former guitarist Olaf Thorsen finally rejoined the band and started working with them on the follow up to the much celebrated 'Return To Heaven Denied' album, which is still considered by fans and media alike their best effort to date. 'Return To Heaven Denied Pt.2 - A Midnight Autumn's Dream' was released June 21st, 12 years after their breaking opus magnum on Scarlet Records and and can be described as a comeback to their Power Metal roots.
The Current Line-up of the band is:
* Roberto Tiranti (Rob Tyrant) - Vocals (1997-1998, 1999-) (also Bass 2006-2010)
*Andrea Cantarelli (Anders Rain) - Guitar (1991-)
*Olaf Thorsen (Carlo Andrea Magnani) - Guitar (1991-2002, 2009-)
*Andrea de Paoli (Andrew McPauls) - Keyboards (1997-)
*Sergio Pagnacco - Bass (2010-)
*Alessandro Bissa - Drums (2010-)
2. Australian Artist Labyrinth began producing hip hop music in 2003 and wrote his first raps in 2004. In early 2007 he completed a 17-track album called "The Lost Poet", which is now barely available in its original form. he was there for the birth of Sub Conscious Records late 2007 and he christened his own company "Brainmaze Productions" in 2008. Aside from his solo project, he performs with Ovahand and DJ Kranky in a 3-man crew called Dark Matter. A second solo album called "The Philosopher" was released at the end of 2008 and is still in the process of being distributed - it occasionally finds its way into shops around Sydney . Labyrinth has begun work on the debut Dark Matter album as well as a third solo album... These are both certain to be far better quality recordings than previous Brainmaze releases and should be completed in 2010.

Nothing New
Labyrinth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I realize
That a new life is born
A very little step ahead
And the bad tales of yesterdays (are) behind
Tomorrow won't be easy but
Our shoulders now are strong enough
Nothing new under the sun
Don't look back follow your stars
Past is gone open your eyes
Every one has a path
I want to ride in mine with an open mind
Nothing is for free here
Sometimes the strength is hard to find
Nothing new under the sun
Don't look back follow your stars
Past is gone open your eyes
The lyrics to Labyrinth's "Nothing New" seem to be a message of hope and resilience in the face of challenges or struggles. The opening lines suggest a reflective tone, perhaps implying that the singer is looking back on their past with a new perspective. This reflection leads them to acknowledge that a new life is being born or is possible for them, which hints at some kind of positive change or opportunity.
The following lines seem to emphasize the idea of moving forward and leaving negative experiences behind. The singer suggests that taking even a small step forward can distance them from the bad tales of yesterday, even though tomorrow might still hold difficulties. The mention of having strong shoulders implies a sense of capability or endurance that will help them face those challenges.
The repeated refrain, "Nothing new under the sun, don't look back follow your stars, past is gone open your eyes," emphasizes the idea of keeping a forward-focused mindset and looking to the future rather than dwelling on the past. The phrase "nothing new under the sun" is a common expression, often used to suggest that everything that happens has happened before in some form. In this context, it might imply that no matter what struggles the singer faces, they are not alone and others have faced similar obstacles before.
Overall, "Nothing New" seems to be a song about finding strength and hope in difficult times, recognizing the potential for positive change, and staying focused on the future rather than being held back by the past.

Trying to remember
Reflecting on the past
Now I realize
Understanding the present
That a new life is born
Embracing the future
A very little step ahead
Making progress slowly but surely
And the bad tales of yesterdays (are) behind
Leaving the negative past behind
Tomorrow won't be easy but
Acknowledging upcoming challenges
Our shoulders now are strong enough
Feeling capable of handling difficulties
Nothing new under the sun
There's nothing that hasn't been experienced before

Past is gone open your eyes
Move on from past mistakes and learn from them
Every one has a path
Everyone has their own journey to follow

I want to approach my own path with a receptive attitude
Nothing is for free here
Acknowledging that everything has a cost
Sometimes the strength is hard to find
Admitting that it's challenging to stay determined
