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.

PARADOX's two full-length albums, PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION and HERESY, released in 1987 and 1989 respectively, have become undisputed masterpieces, and their extensive demos, recorded in 1988 and 1990, are equally invaluable but have never been released.

Awakening Records is proud to be licensed by PARADOX to officially release these materials. This excellent compilation is titled "THE DEMO COLLECTION VOL. 2 1988-1990". The 16-page booklet features numerous rare photos, flyers, a biography of the band, and a specially created PARADOX family tree. A must-have for your collection!

Spikes. Leather. Over-the-top attitude. Broken English lyrics full of swear words. And manic speed/thrash riffing. Shitloads of it. It may sound like a crude and a tad too cliché description yet it fits MAGNUS like a glove. To say that one of Poland most famous extreme metal pioneers had to face insane struggle and obstacles in their early days while the Iron Curtain was just starting to crumble and soon to collapse would be quite a wild understatement.

Named after a giant, serpent-like demon that embodies the ancient Egyptian mythos of chaos and darkness, German death metal band APEP draws its Egyptology-laden musical cues from well-respected bands such as NILE, NEPHREN-KA, RUDRA, MELECHESH, and BEHEMOTH.

Formed in 2016 out of the ashes of CARNAGE, the trio of drummer Merlin Friedrich, guitarist Oliver Pikowski, and vocalist Christopher Fleckeisen set out to create a more technical brand of death metal, combining it with an ancient aesthetic. Philip Kühn was added in 2017 as the second guitarist, while Henrik Osterloh took over his duties last year.

After a series of demos, EPs, and their acclaimed debut album, "Bizarre Tales from the Past and the Future," released in 2023, ANATHEMATISE is back with their second full-length album. This time, they focus on intricate technical arrangements that showcase their raw, intense deathrash metal sound.

Established in 1995, the Teutonic death metal veterans ANASARCA released their debut full-length album, Godmachine, in 1998. This album delivers a brutal, melodic, and distinctive death metal experience!
