Editorial Reviews

Paradox started to work on their second album "Heresy" in January 1989 at Harris Johns' "Music-Lab"-studio in Berlin. "Heresy" was originally released in November 1989 to great success, especially in Japan. In Germany, as well as all over Europe (especially Greece and Italy), the press was full of praise for the album. In November 1989, Kai Pasemann (g) replaced Dieter Roth but after a while the band was put on hold for many years due to unpopular decisions and more changes in the line up and differences with their label. This reissue includes two bonus tracks along with an enhanced live video of "Heresy".

5.0 out of 5 stars great melodic speed/thrash metal, January 12, 2004

This review is from: Heresy (Audio CD)

this is one of those metal albums that isn't very well known, or may sometimes get a bad review somewhere, and i'm not sure why either of those is true. the guitar riffs and leads are some of the best i've ever heard, with drumming and bass work to match. charly steinhauer's voice is also fairly unique i think, and sounds at times like a higher-pitched and more melodic hetfield from metallica (though obviously much better). this CD is definitely worth the money you'll pay for it, and songs like "search for perfection" and "serenity" make the album a must-hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard n Heavy, a great release, December 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Heresy (Audio CD)

Heresy is by far one of the best releases in a long time representing the metal genre. What seperates this CD from the rest of the hum drum fodder called metal, is the uniqueness of style and subject matter. The musicianship is flawless. Searing guitars in hard-driving pace, thunderous drums, heavy bass, all combined with brilliant vocals send this CD into the stratosphere of power driven metal music. This is a must buy. If I had to compare them to a band, I would say, early raw agressive sound of Savatage (Sirens or Dungeons release).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Euro Thrash, September 9, 2004

This review is from: Heresy (Audio CD)

If you're looking for a little known gem to brag to your mates about look no further.

The vibe on Heresy is electric.

Great duelling guitars, cool thrash vocal. Catchy riffs, melody to match the finest mid-history Metallica and enough ferocity to satisfy the most savage beast.

Standout tracks: Heresy, Search For Perfection.
