Paradox Community - Omega - Reviewed By All Around Metal ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.allaroundmetal.com/component/content/article/26-releases/8815-paradox-community-energia-da-vendere-ed-un-bel-mix-di-tante-sonorit%C3%A0

A mix of modern metal, thrash, progressive and so on and so forth in this "Omega", a record released by the German Paradox Community. A work full of charge and energy that takes its cue from Pantera, Black Sabbath, Alterbridge and Megadeth. In short, a really nice sound mixture that strikes with authority along the tracklist with the lightning start of "White Chapel" and passing through the dark notes of "Symbol Of Freedom" and the more angry ones of "Are We Living In A Dream" before and "Northern Star" with its granite riffs shortly after, songs built on the dynamic uvula of Mirko Mucha. The band seems to be always at ease moving with ease and creating linear songs that never give the impression of having forced ideas within them. And a praise goes to the production, dry and powerful, nothing to do with the pompous recordings so fashionable in recent years; here it seems to go back to the 80s and 90s, with all the instruments that sound clean and sincere. Henk Humberg's bass opens the way to the progressive "Desire 2", which goes hand in hand with the refined sounds of "Until We Never Die", showing a further face of the sound of the German trio, which does not cease to amaze even on the most dramatic notes of "Silent Sadness", with its suffering departure that then leaves room for more full-bodied riffs.
"Omega" wisely mixes various sounds and explodes from the stereo with confidence and boldness. Perhaps those songs capable of fixing themselves in the head and forcing you to listen continuously are missing, but we are sure that this is a release capable of satisfying many listeners. - All Around Metal

Paradox Community – Omega
Release date: May 21st, 2021
Label: self-released

FFO: Iron Maiden, Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica

Just imagine you could combine the qualities of some great metal bands at the beginning 90s. The melody from Maiden, the groove from Pantera and riffs from Megadeth...and all that without any limits and genre rules!?
PARADOX COMMUNITY (PC) is a German metal band that combines a wide variety of styles from metal, progressive and rock. The trio does not create a constant boring mixture of all genres but tries to ensure a differentiated and exciting song experience by using different structures and styles for each song. From calm, melodic pieces to pumping metal grooves or a bit of thrash metal, everything is possible within PC. Most of the vocals deserve this name and change from shout to melodic singing or aggressive screaming and back. In terms of style the whole thing is a little progressive, although the band does not sound like "student music” but more like some straight old metal heads. Mirko uses unique riffs for most of the song structure and not only exchangeable parts. Together with drum patterns that complement the riffs but still have own character and ideas the PC sound is created without fitting in one specific genre perfectly.

Check out this video!

The band has been in the current line-up since March 2007 after Henk Humberg joined as bass player. Mirko and Tommy have been playing together for about 25 years in different bands. Due to the trio line-up, which is unusual for this style, the band clearly stands out from the crowd. The three-person line-up is particularly advantageous live, because instead of the typical metal mud sound, the PCs have organized and ass-kicking tight live sound!

After so many years of making metal music the band decided to release the first official album in 2021. Prior recordings were just “for the band”. Of course, there were some live gigs over the years and all bandmembers had several other projects and bands, but now it is time to present the Paradox Community metal to a bigger audience. Maybe just to get a feedback from some real metal heads after all these years of making music.
