Paradox  

The German band Paradox formed in the mid-eighties and released two thrash albums in that era, the first (Product Of Imagination) a rather pedestrian affair that clearly showed early Metallica influences, and the second (Heresy) improving the songwriting significantly while still remaining in the thrash realm. The band disappeared for almost a decade, until guitarist Charly Steinhauer brought together a new lineup, releasing Collision Course in 2000. The band again went quiet after that, with scattered reports of lineup shifts and the like, as well as news that Steinhauer was going to give up singing for medical reasons, but a new (November 2005) report was released, announcing a new lineup (with Steinhauer still singing) that will play live in early 2006.
