Paradox (British band)
Paradox was a Christian black metal band founded in London, England, in 1996 by guitarist and vocalist Michael, using the pseudonym "John Tarantula". They were reported to be, at the time, the only dark metal band in London promoting Christianity. Originally formed as a three-piece family unit, they released a demo ''The Outcasts'' in 1997 through their own record label, Tarantula Promotions. In 1998, a fourth member joined as a vocalist, and a second demo was released in 2000 entitled ''Through Pain There Is Joy''. Following this release, the band reformed around Michael as a five-piece unit, and a sixth member later joined part-time on keyboards. In 2002, Paradox disbanded, releasing their last two songs as part of a compilation album entitled ''Overcome or Burn Forever in Hell/Arachnid Terror Sampler'', which featured tracks from fourteen other artists. Following the breakup of the band, the projects Bloodshed and Slimegem were formed, and a third band, Hamal 'ak Hamashith, was promoted through Tarantula Promotions.
==History==
Michael has stated that before becoming a Christian, he played in band with his friends performing covers of bands such as Burzum, Darkthrone, Acheron, Beherit, and Havohej. In 1995, Michael converted to Christianity at a summer camp.〔 His original band drifted apart, and in 1996 he formed a new band, Paradox, with his father and brother.〔 The name "Paradox" was chosen because of the paradox of a Christian band playing very dark music.〔 That year, the band released a demo entitled ''The Outcasts''. UK-based ''Cross Rhythms Magazine'' later reviewed the demo and rated it six out of ten squares. Grey "The Invocator" later joined in 1998 as vocalist.〔 According to Michael, Grey was not a Christian, but was a friend of his before his conversion and was comfortable with the goals of the band. A second demo, ''Through Pain There Is Joy'', followed in 2000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.musicmight.com/artist/uk/paradox )〕 which ''Cross Rhythms'' rated seven out of ten squares, and stated that the band was the "London's only dark metal band who are out there doing it for Christ." After this demo, the band line-up underwent a transition, with Michael "John Tarantula" re-forming Paradox with members Jasen "White Stick" on drums, Jeff "Death Warrior" on bass, Sam "Yellow Terror" on guitar, and Grey on vocals. In 2000, a new member, Rose "Dark Faery", joined part time as a keyboardist.〔 The band started recording at a professional studio, but then announced in 2002 that they would dissolve with the release of their final two songs on ''Overcome or Burn Forever in Hell/Arachnid Terror Sampler''. This was a split release combining an EP, ''Overcome or Burn Forever in Hell'', by Paradox, and a sampler album, ''Arachnid Terror Sampler'', featuring fourteen other artists including Frosthardr, Frost Like Ashes, Kekal, Pantokrator, Sanctifica, Soul Embraced, and Tortured Conscience. Following the breakup of the band, Michael announced the formation of the projects Bloodshed and Slimegem.
