Description

Sill sealed with slipcase

Mysterium is the ninth studio album by German thrash metal institution Paradox and marks a special milestone in the band’s 44-year history, as founder and mastermind Charly Steinhauer not only played all the instruments and sang, but also handled the production entirely on his own. I worked on it day and night until everything was perfect, says Stenhaur. The songs on Mysterium are thematically linked, without it being a classic concept work. The lyrics revolve around mystical stories and world events that have personally moved Steinhauer. In his own estimation, Mysterium is the strongest Paradox album to date: It became my favourite alongside Heresy from 1989. The songs all have their own identity, are catchy, and when the album is over, I want to listen to it again straight away.
