Ever had a dream so vivid it changed your life? Eat too many magic mushrooms, blue cheese or get Coronavirus before bed and there’s a chance it’ll happen. The latter is what occurred to Dennis Ahmer as he lay in his bed in Ohio; he knew he had to put a death/groove/thrash band together and he named it Paradoxicide with the band releasing their debut album ‘Savior’.

If that isn’t a messed-up start to your career, then what is? “I had a fever dream and I had to make a death/thrash album”. Well, you know what? Thank fuck they did because ‘Savior’ is actually decent, it doesn’t have the sound of a middle aged bloke having a midlife crisis, this album is actually the sound of a young band hungry for success as tracks such as ‘Blood of Kings’, ‘Crown of Rust’ and ‘Plastic Throne’ have the thrashing grooves of Sepultura, Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy, in fact there is a lot of homage to Max Cavalera here, but also enough to bring in fans of late 90’s Testament as well as riffs that may even make the head of Slipknot fans turn as the vocals almost turn the clock back a good 25 years.

For a debut album, ‘Savior’ does the job, it is fun and enjoyable and its rough around the edges only adds to the charm. There is some work to do as Paradoxicide find out who they are musically, but until then, just sit back and enjoy some decent death/thrash done with some real adoration. - Metal Digest

Bio: Paradoxicide is a new classic death metal band and is the brainchild of a middle aged midwest male in Holland, OH. The music and lyrics came to him in a Covid induced fever dream over the 2020 lockdown. Once recovered, he knew what he must do. He contacted the best musicians he could find to record the music Covid gifted him. Once they all declined he reached out to former bandmates of lesser skill and hired a singer from an underground Metal website. Over the past several months they have be recording their debut album SAVIOR. The first two songs on the upcoming album, 'Savior' and 'Art of Artifice' have been released on all major streaming platforms and are available in the iTunes store and Amazon Music. The third single, 'Crown of Rust' is scheduled to be released 9/3/2021 with the remainder of the album coming out early Winter 2021. Paradoxicide makes no claims to the quality of the music and lyrics. We also make no apologies for them either.
