Parnassus

Parnassus was a black metal project initiated by Fredrik Söderlund, known for his involvement with the band Puissance. Formed in 1995 in Linköping, Sweden, Parnassus distinguished itself from Söderlund's other black metal endeavor, Octinomos, by operating as an exclusively solo venture. Musically, Parnassus adopted a more symphonic direction, characterized by a prominent use of keyboards.

While rooted in black metal, Parnassus explored a symphonic soundscape driven by keyboard arrangements. This approach set it apart from other projects Söderlund was involved in, emphasizing its unique identity as a singular creative outlet.
