Hailing from Sweden this great band Shadows Of Paragon has release a self- titled demo, this is great and melodic black metal with intense use of the keyboards.
The Demo starts off with the song "Gone With The Mist" this song is beautiful! you'll expect some clean vocals and growlish black metal vocals, also you'll find some death
metal growls. this song is a good start. this song tends to slow down in some parts, about 30 seconds before this song finishes there's a part sung in only death growls. It's pretty insane and awesome!
"King Of The North" keep the melodic stuff also the brutality, the drumming is awesome! it sticks pretty well with the music, the lyrics in this song are pretty
Christ - centered, to be honest this great demo
is surrounded by great lyrics!. "Screams Of Silence" (what a great title) is the third song, it is slower than the second song, the vocals fits pretty well, then some parts tend to be fast with
aggressiveness shown in vocals. there's a great
symphonic melody at the middle of the song. The next song "And My Tears Are Gone" shows deep use of keys, also it is pretty fast yet melodic sometimes, you'll find some clean singing in this song too.
"Psalm" keep doing the task of bring you some great music!
Well this guys do a great job on everything, the production is wise, this album was released independently, it offers great music, great sound quality and over 20 minutes of Melodic Black Metal! absolutely a Jewel!

Gone With The Mist |
|
Introspection mandatory
step into the light
Tortured soul aching fraction
weeping in a pool of blood
Where will you find your shelter?
Hatred devours your dying soul
Anxiety and anger is taking its toll
Emotions enchained
numbness you feel
Fighting the stab wounds
will they heal?
Crawling back bound
soon you will swoon
Yet stillness is found
in the Saviors wound
Hail to you protector in times of terror
in your fort I can rest assure
Forgiveness is done
Forgiveness complete
Previous sins cease to exist
In the sea of oblivion
past deeds -gone with the mist
Glory to the Lamb on the throne
forever I exalt You
Worthy of our praise are you
forever I extol You
Slave of Lucifer
be fooled no more
Find your freedom
while drifting ashore
Sense divine Presence
Know it is real
Be consumed by healing fire
let the pain out never to return
Rise soldier, get ready
The belt of truth
buckled around your waist
The breast plate of righteousness
in place
The shield of faith
extinguishing all the flames
The sword of the spirit
will chase all demons away
Forgiveness is done
Forgiveness complete
Previous sins cease to exist
In the sea of oblivion
past deeds -gone with the mist
Glory to the Lamb on the throne
forever I exalt You
Worthy of our praise are you
forever I extol You
Creatures of flesh I do not fear
none of them can crush me here
Aware of spirits
vampires of death
Safeguarding me
is my shield of faith
All demons will flee
this presence they cannot see
without shivering endlessly

King Of The North |
Your presence surrounds me
gives me strength to carry on
I raise my voice in glorification
and bow my knees and praise
I long Oh Lord for your Holy Spirit
Come to me again, again and again
I stand before the throne of God
in awe in front of you
You are my strength and my hope
I praise thee Lord Oh King of the North
To you I come when dark clouds gather upon the nightly sky
You listen and help me in the right hour
Nothing need I fear, for you wander next to me in darkness
and let your light shine upon my path of obscurity
I need not fear when destruction comes
I will laugh at destruction and famine
I will know that my fort is secure
I will come to the grave in full vigour
For you Oh Lord are my strength and my hope
You have ransomed me from death
I have found my peace in you
King of the North

Screams of Silence |
My soul is twisted, consumed by filth
When thou art not before me
Without you I am nothing
Unmovable I lay in this spiritual decay
On the uttermost brink of your dominions I dwell
When thou art not before me
Let me se the cherubs gather around your throne
Let me hear that beautiful voice of yours again
Let the winds from the angel wings caress my cheek
Out of the depths I cry out to you
Out of the depths I cry out to you my Lord
When Thou art not before me
Let me hear that beautiful voice of yours
Let the wind from the angel wings caress my cheek
Shatter my frozen heart
Let me feel the drops of blood from your hands upon my soul
Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast
And that Thy hand might be with me
And that thou wouldest keep me from evil
That it may not grieve me

And My Tears Are Gone |
Oh Lord close my eyes
and let my head gently rest
My heart is weighed down by grief
and my eyes are filled with tears
Come return to me
Come return, conciliate me
Call on me from your dwelling place
Raise me now out of this despair
I have lived in the shadows of horns for too long
My eyes have been blinded by darkness and tears
My soul longs
Longs for peace
The bitter taste of damnation
has been in the depths of my thoughts for too long
And the cloak of doom has been plaguing my back to this day
No more
I bid thee farewell darkness that kept me awake at night
Come
Come blood of purity
Come and flow down over me
Cover me with the grace of forgiveness
I sleep now in thy arms
Jesus
Like never before I am in safety
my heart is resting in stillness as if on green pastures
Rest forever on my word
Trust that I will catch you
Finally I have taken my first step
into your sphere of love
And my tears are gone

Psalm |
Do not rebuke me in Thine anger
nor chasten me in thy wrath
Be gracious to me
for I am pining away
Heal me, for my bones are dismayed
Heal me, my soul is greatly dismayed
I cry out to you my Lord
Return, rescue my soul
For there is no mention of Thee in death
In Sheol who will give Thee thanks?
I am weary with my sighing
Every night I dissolve my sheets with tears
My eyes has wasted away with grief
Thou will hear the cry of the humble
Thou will prepare their hearts
Thou observe trouble and grief
Thou will cause Thine ear to hear
To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed
That man may oppress no more
Heal me, for my bones are dismayed
Heal me, my soul is greatly dismayed
I cry out to you my Lord
Return, rescue my soul
The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping
The Lord has heard my supplication
In peace I will lie down and sleep
For Thou alone, dost make me dwell in safety
