Paradox was formed in the San Francisco in the late 70s. The band changed its name to Hexx in 1983 and signed to Shrapnel Records the year after. The band recorded an album and was on ice for a while, but was soon back with Bower in tow. The addition of Bower encouraged the act to get heavier and more aggressive. Drummer Schmidt would leave after Under The Spell.
MFN issued an EP in 1989 called Quest For Sanity b/w a band interview, but the band's progress had stalled despite the publicity campaign for the EP. Next came a single called Watery Graves. Come the 90s, the band signed with Century Media and issued the Morbid Reality album. Alas, the band's thrash metal was of limited appeal at this time and the band called it a day following poor sales numbers of its third album. Metal Church guitarist John Marshall was the producer for Morbid Reality. Bower soon joined Autopsy.
