Paralysis

Paralysis, originally a progressive band, was reformed by Mike and Chris (dravend) as a metal band. Mike, came to Miami from California and met a friend that introduced him to music. Mike would eventually pick up the bass guitar and has been playing ever since. Chris originally an aspiring solo acoustic musician would eventually pick up the electric guitar and start playing metal after a heated discussion with an acquaintance. Chris and Mike would write songs with a number of different people in Paralysis (former members can be seen on the left). It seems like there would never be a steady lineup until Chris Hayes and his brother Justin joined the band. Chris H has been playing guitar for about 5 years and was friends with Chris Dravend in highschool. He instantly fit in well with the band. A few weeks after Chris's joining, Paralysis was searching for a new drummer. Chris suggested his brother Justin, who was new to metal drumming but had been playing for a few years. After a few weeks of audition, Justin was accepted into Paralysis as a drummer. Now the band was complete musically but we were missing one key person, a vocalist. This is where Emilio comes in. After only two short practices, Emilio was ready to sing out for live performances. His powerful vocals were the perfect sound for Paralysis. The band is now complete and ready to play everywhere. We would like to thank Howard Leon for the great work on all the photos he's been taking for us, as well as many other contributions. Thanks for your continued support!
