Paragon (US) - II +1 (CD)

The US label Heaven And Hell Records has unearthed the two EPs by the US band PARAGON and pressed them onto a single CD with bonus tracks. The formation from North Carolina was active in the late 80s and early 90s. The band initially covered songs by RUSH and LED ZEPPELIN before recording their own, sometimes slightly grittier material. ‘II’ was originally recorded in 1990 and consisted of only 4 tracks. With ‘Pray Away’, a bonus track was added to ‘II’. According to the record company, the band is suitable for fans of Rush, TNT, Winger & Dream Theater. You can basically leave it at that, even if the prog influences are clearer here than with TNT and Winger. (BS)Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
