Paranormalized is the third album by Six Finger Satellite, released on August 6, 1996 through Sub Pop.{{cite magazine |first=Ian |last=Christe |url=http://trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=six_finger_satellite |title=Six Finger Satellite |magazine=Trouser Press |year=2007 |accessdate=June 8, 2013}} It was marked by an almost complete reliance on synthesizers, in contrast to their earlier records, in which guitars still played a significant part.

The record was recorded at The Parlour, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, less than a year after the release of Severe Exposure. Singer J. Ryan would later explain, "That record was put together pretty quick just as an attempt to get back on the road. Our touring for Severe Exposure had been pretty spotty."T.
