REVIEW/BIOGRAPHY:
(http://www.myspace.com/audioparadox)
Audio Paradox is an electronic project based in Chicago. Putting together a band for a one-off show, Josh performed Audio Paradox for the first time in 1995 in the Chicago area. Matthew joined in 1995. River and Kane got involved in 1997, when as a proper band they began playing live in Texas to an overwhelmingly positive response. The Iniquity of Time was released in 1999. Kris played Drums in the live show (1999-2001) and contributed Drum Tracks and loads of sample material for both Infinitesimal as well as future releases. After years of growth (as well as more than a few years of silence), Audio Paradox returned with new material in 2006, including "Breakdown" and "All Souls". New tracks will be made available online throughout 2007. ,Audio Paradox is made up of three folk. Josh Pyle does Vocals and also helps out Matthew Edwards on Programming and Keys. Matt gives Josh a hand on The Vox as well. River Tunnell handles the Guitar Work, both Bass and six-string. If you ask me, from what I've seen on the jacket of The Iniquity of Time, AP's 1999 full-length, Matthew Edwards is the heroine addict of the group. Together these three slam. Creating sounds originally intended to be "experimentation with electronic music," their work is hardcore, intense and skull smashing. Since 1995 they have been appearing on compilations with their most noticeable track, Parasitic, appearing on quite a few. I was familiar with this track from my copy of T.I.A.M.P. where this particular single appeared. I had said then of this track (which appears in position three on The Iniquity of Time): "Audio Paradox use danceable drum & bass loops, the right amount of samples and Scratching Guitar Riffs that will occasionally rip in where they don't belong. Leather Strip, Klute or similarly influenced, Parasite scratches it's way into you.",The guitars are loud and obnoxious, the synths and programming is sweeping and all-engrossing and the Vocals are only slightly Vox-ridden. You can still hear the human in Josh. Much of it is also reminiscent of Ministry as well as the bands I've already mentioned(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
