With former members now playing in renowned bands such as Opeth and Stratovarius, THE HYPOTHESIS is a powerhouse quartet with a relentless drive for musical excellence.

Having toured Finland, the Baltic countries, and Spain with notable acts such as Wolfheart and Swallow the Sun, and shared festival stages worldwide with acts such as Scar Symmetry, Before the Dawn, Amaranthe, and more, THE HYPOTHESIS are ready to unveil the highly anticipated next chapter in the band’s history!

Lyrics:

Under the night sky I wander
I’m an anxious traveller
Lost I have felt so long
While chaos guiding my path
Stars above me are my eyes
They want to guide me
But I close my heart
So I feel lost forever

The breeze forever reminds me
The time I fought demons inside me
A shadow I never felt within
Bounced me back to life

I can’t see where I’m travelling
without a path to walk by
I feel lost forever
I want to feel again
I want breathe again

Old man’s words echoed in my head
The shadow of wisdom lead the way
But now those stars above guide me
Through the night

I had no strength to rise
I had no strength to rise
I had no strength to rise
I have now strength to rise
