Wildpath's story beg… Read Full Bio ↴Wildpath is a symphonic metal band from Paris.
Wildpath's story began during the summer of 2001, by the musical meeting of the keyboarder (Alexis) and the guitar player (Olivier), who started immediately to compose some songs. They had begun to practice their instruments only few months before. The kind of music played at this time was Punk Rock, with a melodic influence. At the beginning of 2002 , they tried to find other musicians (singer, drummer and bass player). During the following year, the songs became more and more Heavy-Metal influenced, always melodic.
The musical knowledge of the band members has evolved, and a lot of musicians joined in for a few months then left, (a line up with several singers for example) and finally form the current line-up. Recently we participated in several shows (in front of 400 persons to celebrate the 50 years of rock for instance) and recorded Necromancer Demo by ourselves, at home.
Now, the band has more than twenty average songs, still work on new stuff, and strive to improve its instrumental technique. And this, to be able to play the kind of music they love. Although each member wants to achieve his studies, all of them care about keeping their passion: the music, and going on playing together whatever will happen. Besides, music is one of the most important professional purpose for the band.

Now I have to face my memories burning my brain through my eyes.
Struggling to breath last among this barely known crowd sunking in the oblivion sea.
Tearing my flesh, brambles that I've made with lies and shame!

My past has gone, I should embrace the end of my old day.
I'll have to forsake my regrets to free this mind from my fate!
Catching the air from the sweet souvenir of a warm house unearthed from my thoughts.
Facing the Judge, under the glance of my own reflection!

The lyrics of Wildpath's "Reviver" reflect the internal struggle and self-reflection of a person who realizes that their time is running out. The singer is coming to terms with their past and acknowledges the consequences of their actions. The judgment day has arrived, and instead of fearing it, they face it with courage. Memories of their life flash before their eyes, and they must confront the lies, shame, and regrets that have brought them to this point. The pain of their past mistakes is tearing them apart, like thorns scraping their skin, but they accept it. The person in the song is ready to forgive themselves, let go of the past, and move on.
The chorus is an introspection, the singer speaks to themselves and questions their own belief system. "You define good or evil, choose to see wrong or right, What's guide to illusions, Fine my choices, my light" means that up to this point, the person has been making choices in their life, some may have been missteps, but there is always the option to choose good over evil. 'What's guide to illusions' refers to the perception that the person has developed over time, and they need to examine their beliefs and values to discover their true path in life. In the end, it is up to 'You' to define your life choices, be it good or evil. "Reviver" is a song about self-forgiveness, self-reflection, and recognizing the importance of the choices we make in life.
