CLASSIC GERMAN THRASH 7 SPEED METAL ALBUM!

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.

In May 1987 they went into the studio with producer KALLE TRAPP (BLIND GUARDIAN/SAXON) to record their debut album. "PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION" was released in October 1987 and quickly earned the band an excellent reputation as the best metal newcomer from Germany. Even the British press gave the record excellent reviews. The big KERRANG magazine wrote: "Here they are ... the new METALLICA!"

Awakening Records is proud to be licensed by PARADOX to officially reissue this album. The 16-page booklet features lyrics, photos, and exclusive liner notes by CHARLY STEINHAUER. A must-have for your collection!
