[spoiler="Об альбоме (сборнике)"]
Ah, good old Paragon. A band you can really rely on and know on beforehand that “this album will surely rule”. And of course, as always, it’s awesome. Pure traditional heavy metal as it was written in the book. No keyboards, no silly pop refrains, no following any trend just plain and hard metal. And they’re so fucking good at doing it! Many people say that they need to get more diverse and widen their horizons, I say why change a winning concept? I mean any metalhead can’t deny that this is good? Their heads will automatically start banging and in a second the air guitar is there too.

Already some seconds into the opener “Hammer Of The Gods” it’s like the guys hit your face and says “This is metal!”. The song ia a fast aggressive and just splendid song which can be ranked as one of the best this band has ever done. And even if the rest of the songs isn’t exactly as superb, they are still aweome. Some are a bit weaker than the average though, I can for example feel that the instrumental “Revelations” is a bit unnecessary. Also “Arise” and “Gangland” are a bit weaker (last mentioned has a splendid solo section though). But in general it’s as always: Paragon is a very consistent band and they have a very high “lowest level” on most of their albums. I mean what more can you ask for? Some fast songs, some mid-paced heavy fuckers and one slower half-ballad? Perfect mix if it’s quality in the songs which you’ve realized that it is on here.

So there is not any real fatal minuses in the songs. But the most negative thing with this album is one thing: the drums. VERY bad mixed and I can imagine that the (back then) new drummer Chris Gripp got very frustrated with how the drums ended up. There’s no flaws in the playing but it’s how they sound alright. Very farty and thin, no punch in them at all which is very sad for the whole experience of the album. Another flaw in the mix would be the gang-vocals parts (which mostly is the choruses). Quite laid back and that destroys the feeling of them. On the production’s brighter side we have the guitars which instead of the drums and back up vocals, are awesomely mixed. The guitars are really raw and sounds “metal”...no sorry the guitars just screams METAL. Imagine if there had been more thundering from the drums and put the backing vocals a bit up front? Paragon could’ve made a dream record production wise.

But almost no album is perfect in every aspect, and even if this is not that really, it is a album that every fan of heavy metal should buy and just dive into. And the replay value is ridiculously high. Paragon are one of the best band these days, and you’ll plain and simply miss something if you don’t give them a chance.

3 best songs: “Hammer Of The Gods”, “Halls Of Doom” and “Souleaters”
