Since 1981, singer/guitarist CHARLY STEINHAUER and drummer AXEL BLAHA have been active in various formations in W�rzburg, 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!"
