Void Paradigm biography
Founded in 2012, Void Paradigm are a French avant-garde black metal band stationed in Rouen. The lineup, stable since their formation, consists of guitarist/bassist Julien Payan (of funeral doom band Ataraxie as well as Sordide), vocalist Jonathan Th�ry (also of Ataraxie and formerly of Bethlehem) and drummer Alexis Damien (of No Terror in the Bang and a former live member of Carnival in Coal). Currently signed to Avantgarde Music, Void Paradigm have released three full-length LPs: 2012's self-titled debut, issued through Totalrust Music; 2015's Earth's Disease, distributed via Apathia Records; and 2020's two-song Ultime Pulsation | Demain Br�le.

Void Paradigm's idiosyncratic and unorthodox black metal owes much to the serialism of composer Arnold Schoenberg, further incorporating influences from jazz, post-rock, crust punk and kosmische musik, coining a style which has received comparisons to Ved Buens Ende, Deathspell Omega, Ehnahre, Voivod and Haar.
