Biographie

Their band name was inspired by the self given death of japanese author Yukio Mishima who, after a failed coup d'état, committed suicide according to ancient japanese tradition (seppuku or hara kiri ) as a gesture of public protest. Composed of brothers Cortés namely Alex (guitar/programming) and Willie (vocals/ drums/bass/programming), Seppuku Paradigm was formed in 2005. The pair had already worked together before but not to such an extent. While Willie released his debut album in 2004 on a major label (Willie Cortez - FARSUCT/Delabel/EMI ), Alex was composing and producing with french collective 'Downliners Sekt' ( The Pledge EP /Bloom Records ) along with appearing live and in studio for Willie's solo project. Early 2005, they sat down and wrote a couple of songs together , which led to more and quite naturally they decided to form the two piece band. Locked in their makeshift studio they started composing and producing songs that, to sum up ,blend post rock inspired tunes and sharp guitars with aggressive sub bass and computer generated weirdness. Add Willie's hooks and you get Seppuku Paradigm. Currently in the process of recording, Seppuku Paradigm plan to release a first EP on their own.
