Everon biography
1989, Krefeld, Germany. Ralf JANSSEN (guitar), Christian MOOS (drums) and SCHYMY (bass) had been playing together for a couple of years and had experienced the usual hardship that any band in 
its initial stages has to face. Musical direction was one thing, finding the right singer was another. At that point, they got in contact with Oliver PHILIPPS through an advert in the music press. 
PHILIPPS and his band JESTER'S PALACE already had two recordings under their belts but unfortunately split up. With PHILIPPS the sense of direction arrived and EVERON was born. Using modern MIDI equipment 
to the max, the band started shaping a high-tech sound around the songs which were and still are a delicate mix of melody and power.

A meeting got them in touch with Eroc, former drummer of famous German cult band GROBSCHNITT and now a name producer in his own right, selling several hundreds of thousands of albums in Germany alone with 
Phillip BOA. Eroc, very much taken by the band, offered them the use of his Woodhouse Studios, where they started recording their debut album ''Paradoxes'' under Eroc's productional guidance. 
Late 1992, with the album nearing completion, the band had received offers from just about every independent progressive rock label, and in the end signed with SI music.

Another coincidence occurred when a stunning piece of artwork in a book caught their eyes. After a long search they tracked down the whereabouts of the artist in question, Gregory Bridges, in Australia. 
Presented with the rough recordings of the album, Bridges got all fired up and offered to design the complete package.

''Paradoxes'' was released in May 1993 and soon became one of the two best selling albums in the SI music catalogue, the band supported FISH in front of an audience of many thousands during an outdoor 
festival in the Netherlands, the album got 9 out of 10 points in "Heavy Oder Was" (Germany), 8 out of 10 in the leading Japanese metal magazine "Burrn!", and was voted discovery of the year by most of
 the specialised press. After ''Paradoxes'' had spent several weeks in the Top 10 of the Japanese import charts, the album was picked up and released by Zero Corporation, distributed by Toshiba/EMI, 
beating four other Japanese companies in the process. In short, certainly on an independent level the album had become everything the band had hoped for and provided the foundation for the future.
