[edit] Biography
Paul Chain played guitar in the Italian thrash/black/gothic metal band Death SS. With Chain, Death SS released a number of 7"s and EPs (the last of which features Chain on vocals as well as guitar). These recordings have been collected and released on The Story of Death SS (1977-1984) and The Horned God of Witches. Death SS split in 1984 and Chain formed his solo group, Paul Chain Violet Theatre. This outfit consisted of Chain on guitar, vocals, & keyboards and featured many other musicians. In 1989 this would morph into Paul Chain (sometimes referred to as "Paul Chain (logo)" due to a distinct font in which Paul Chain was written). He has also released albums under the name Paul Chain - The Improvisor and Paul Chain - Experimental Information. He has worked with Lee Dorrian (on the Alkhest album) and with Wino (on Unreleased Vol. 2).
