about

PRECIOUS EUROPEAN THRASH METAL MATERIALS!

Since 1981, singer/guitarist CHARLY STEINHAUER and drummer AXEL BLAHA have been active in various formations in Würzburg, Lower Franconia. In the beginning, however, the group names and other members are constantly changing, so it is only in February 1986 that you can speak of a real band and rename yourself to PARADOX.

PARADOX's two full-length albums, PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION and HERESY, released in 1987 and 1989 respectively, have become undisputed masterpieces, and their extensive demos, recorded in 1988 and 1990, are equally invaluable but have never been released.

Awakening Records is proud to be licensed by PARADOX to officially release these materials. This excellent compilation is titled "THE DEMO COLLECTION VOL. 2 1988-1990". The 16-page booklet features numerous rare photos, flyers, a biography of the band, and a specially created PARADOX family tree. A must-have for your collection!
