Paralysed Age is a gothic rock and darkwave-band from Northern Germany, founded in 1991. The music of Paralysed Age clearly has influences from the post-punk and the new wave era. Marked by this style, influenced by a lot of other genres, like folk and synthpop, Paralysed Age are searching for their own path to modern gothic wave, a sound with a morbid and melancholic character. Their songs often deal with vampires, bats and other "creatures of the night".
