Paraletica

Paraletica Bio:

Formed originally in 2010 as an eighties cover band, Paraletica are an old school thrash metal band based in Telford, Shropshire, UK. It takes influences from Metallica, Helloween, Anthrax, Sodom, Kreator and many more.

After the band’s first gig, original vocalist Carl decided that the stress of gigging wasn’t for him, and promptly left the band. The band struggled unsuccessfully to find a replacement over the next 8 months, despite trying out several vocalists. During this time, the band found that it was already beginning to think about doing originals as well as covers. At that time the priority though, was to get gigging, so Mark approached the vocalist from his previous band Pride and Glory to fill in on the mic. temporarily, until a permanent vocalist could be found. Rich agreed and after a few rehearsals decided to join permanently.

Rich fast-tracked learning the set and early in 2012, Paraletica started gigging again with some killer shows in Shropshire and The West Midlands.

Things came to a head in 2011 when it became apparent that the band was divided about whether to stay as a covers band or to write original material. Subsequently the then rhythm guitarist decided to leave.

Late in 2012 Paul decided that he couldn’t commit fully to the band and decided to call it a day, but not before recording some excellent guitars on the first EP – The Martyr’s Regret.

The band is currently looking for a replacement lead guitarist.
