Mysterium marks a major milestone for German power/thrash veterans Paradox — their ninth studio album and one of the most ambitious works of their 40‑plus‑year career.
This 2025 silver‑vinyl edition from High Roller Records delivers a premium collector‑grade package: 425gsm heavy cardboard sleeve, uncoated‑paper insert, poster, and download code.
Musically, the album blends Paradox’s signature razor‑sharp riffing with melodic, atmospheric passages and lyrical themes rooted in mysticism, personal loss, and world events. Founder Charly Steinhauer handled all stringed instruments, vocals, drum programming, and production himself, making this one of the most personal and focused Paradox releases to date.
Why Crimson Vinyl Stocked It
Because High Roller’s limited‑run coloured variants always move fast with collectors — especially in Perth’s power/thrash community.
Paradox have a loyal following thanks to classics like Heresy, and Mysterium is already being talked about as one of their strongest modern albums.
The silver‑vinyl pressing is limited to 450 copies, making it a must‑have for fans of European speed/thrash and premium HRR editions.
