Shok Paris

Shok Paris were one of the top representatives of a pretty decent Ohio metal scene of the eighties, with a style midway between mainstream hard rock and the heavier, but still accessible, metal style of the times. Their first album, Go For The Throat, is probably their heaviest, while Steel And Starlight is the one that seems to be their most well-known. Yet another victim of the numbers game, as they played well, drew plenty of fans, but didn't quite have that extra something that could elevate them to the next level.
