Karma Beyond Death is Pascal Grandjean’s Album Out Now
Grandjean invites listeners to explore a universe where the spiritual and the earthly coexist, where music is not merely a collection of notes but a gateway to something far greater.
The album kicks off with “Paradise,” a track that feels like an ethereal prayer. It’s built on powerful, sweeping melodies that evoke the grandeur of a cathedral, pulling listeners into a celestial experience. Grandjean’s ability to conjure such expansive, almost divine sensations with his music is immediately apparent.
“Fairytale” follows with a soft, dreamlike atmosphere, thanks to a gentle female voice that floats atop a mystical melody. As the song grows, it blossoms into a full, glorious choir, blending male and female vocals in a harmonious crescendo. The effect is breathtaking as if stepping into a sacred, otherworldly ritual.
“Ethereal Matter” shifts the tone, moving into deeper, more reflective territory. Here, the music feels like it’s suspended in an endless moment of transition, its modern undertones merging with the classic to create something timeless and oddly detached from reality. This sense of being in limbo, where time is irrelevant, is a consistent theme throughout the album.
The album’s structure cleverly balances intensity with reflection. The first break, Interlude: Hardening, is a stunning piano-driven interlude that marks a shift, leading us into the next phase of this musical journey. It’s like the calm before the storm, a space to breathe before the music takes a darker turn.
With “Dying Hard,” the atmosphere becomes more unsettled as if the light that once defined the earlier songs has started to flicker. The track builds with an intensity that feels almost dangerous, and the mood of uncertainty grows.
“Way To Hell” further leans into the rock territory, with a fierce guitar riff and a more aggressive energy. The raw power of the instruments matches the track’s title, creating a sense of urgency and instability that drives the listener forward.
By the time “Hell and Out” arrives, the album has fully embraced its hard rock persona, taking us on an epic, fiery ride through a sonic landscape that feels explosive and claustrophobic.
But just as the journey begins to feel unrelenting, Interlude: Acceptance offers a moment of respite, returning to the piano for a quieter, introspective moment before the next act unfolds.
The songs that follow, like “Die to Live” and “The School,” slow the pace, leaning into melodies that are more contemplative and internal. There’s a sense of resolution here, as if Grandjean is bringing us to terms with the journey we’ve undertaken.
By the time we reach “Interlude: Hindsight,” there’s a sense of closure. This brief piano interlude seems to prepare the listener for the album’s concluding moments, soothing and reflective.
The final tracks, “Totally Calm” and “Insight,” are like the album’s full-circle moment, drawing us back toward the peace and purity of the beginning. And then, with the closing track “Back to Paradise,” Grandjean brings us home, bringing the thematic and emotional journey to a profound, contemplative close.
Grandjean’s ability to traverse different genres, from choral and cinematic to rock and hard rock, creates a musical narrative that is unpredictable and deeply moving. In the end, the album feels like a spiritual journey, one that transcends the physical and taps into something much more cosmic and timeless.
