Paragon
Germany in particularly has no shortage of bands
like Paragon.
These guys have been
motoring along, cranking out albums fairly
regularly (ten, following a debut EP, since 1994),
pretty much staying true to form since the beginning.
The strongest influence seems to be
Accept ,
along with some
Manowar
and standard Euro power metal stylings for good
measure.
Sure, this is a band that doesn't really take chances,
content to ride the wave of true heavy metal, but they've
got to be doing something right to prosper as long as
they have, and granted they do the style justice.
