Nordic Symphonic Metal
"Where darkness sings and light shatters."
La Paille treats music as ritual. We fuse the grandeur of Nordic symphonic metal with progressive architecture and mythic narrative—building not albums, but living worlds. Each release is a chapter. Each chapter, a memory. Each memory, a step closer to awakening.
Our works follow a narrative chronology—not release order. The mythos unfolds through four eras: Chaos, Creation, Awakening, and Succession. Creation. Collapse. Rebirth. These three axes run through everything we make.
The world does not begin with creation. It begins with perception. This is not a genre. This is a universe.

April 2026 · Full Length
The moment the world drew its first breath. Forged between twilight and revelation, this album follows the emergence of consciousness from shadow: veils torn open, eclipses ignited, echoes returning with new form.
July 2026 · Remaster
Where creation itself becomes audible. The meta-architecture upon which all that follows is built—traced from primordial silence to the oath of the creators, a cycle of emergence, fracture, and return.
Runes of an Unfinished Dawn
Before the world took form, there was only raw force. A storm without name, a voice without myth. The origin point.
Ecliptica Ratio
The discipline of light. Time measured and weaponized. The geometric architecture from which existence is carved.
Spellbound
Where voice enters the world. Where the soul recognizes itself. Where myth takes its first breath.
Aurora Succession
The era of inheritance and convergence. This chapter remains unrevealed. The radiance approaches.
La Paille is a fictional symphonic metal collective. The project integrates AI tools within its creative workflow—but tools do not define the art. They extend it. The mythos is handcrafted. The narrative arc is deliberate. AI functions as a collaborative instrument, expanding the palette.
