Paragon Comments On "Hell Beyond Hell" Album Release

German metal band Paragon just issued this year-end message and comment about the band's latest album release:

"It's not easy for A small band like us to keep on going these days as it gets harder and harder to get (paid) shows and sell enough albums in this commercial driven music business. Anyhow, we are existing now for 26 years and we still love what we do, love to record new music, play live and most of all get feedback from you - the best fans of the world.

"We had a great year with all the positive feedback for 'Hell Beyond Hell' from fans and press and a lot of cool shows. We also know that 'Hell Beyond Hell' is maybe not such an easy listing experience like 'Force Of Destruction' and needs a few more spins before it clicks. 'Force Of Destruction' had all a Paragon fan could expect from a Paragon album, but after that we grew as a band and as friends and we didn't wanted to repeat ourselves.

"So 'Hell Beyond Hell' is 100% what we wanted to record at that time, without compromises to anyone but ourselves! We rehearsed a lot for the live shows and we are a much tighter band now, than we were in the past. Bert, Martin & Günny already gathered some riffs and songwriting will start in January. So also after 26 year expect no mercy from us as it will see the release of one of our heaviest albums and also a lot of Metal fueled live shows. All the best to you and your families and 'Metal Is The Law!'"
