Paragon - The Dark Legacy (2003/Remedy)
Rating - 8.5

Breaking Glass - mp3

It’s probably a very safe assessment to say that this is Paragon’s best release thus far, and for those who are unfamiliar with their brand of power metal, I have two words for you: Grave Digger. The sounds, vocals, and writing are all aligned with the German greats, with dashes of Running Wild thrown in for good measure. A tasty and consistent effort throughout.
The solid and slashing "The Legacy" is the first track, and is followed up by "Mirror of Fate," which is equal to the task. "Breaking Glass" is a steady head mover, with other particularly strong cuts being "Green Hell" and "Into the Black" -- though they all impress, truth be told.

TRACK LIST: The Legacy/Mirror of Fate/Breaking Glass/Black Hole/Eye of the Storm/Maze of Dread/The Afterlife/Green Hell/Back From Hell/Into the Black
