About Parashyne

Parashyne is a new band founded by vocalist and composer Tanja Härkönen.

Parashyne’s music is a blend of solid and melodic heavy metal guitars, catchy vocals and even some extra spice of somewhat proggy bits.


The debut EP titled “One”, released in 2022 was made in co-operation with the guitarist Samuli Federley and bassist Strutter.

In June 2023, a new bassist, Fía Kaipainen took over the bass duties as Strutter could not continue due to other projects. Later the same year Tomas Kasprzyk joined to fill the still empty drummer spot.

After the release of their debut Full-Length album titled “Calibration”, in late summer of 2024 Parashyne announced a change in guitarist. The mantle of lead guitarist was moved to Benjamín Machín due to Samuli having his hands full with his own solo career and numerous other projects.

Sadly, after a short time, also Benjamin had to step aside due to lack of time in winter 2025. Luckily it did not take long for the band to find Aitor Jimenéz, who wars ready and eager to fill the spot, and the new lineup was announce in May 2025.
