Paragon - The Final Command (1998)

After the unimpressive debut WORLD OF SIN, guitarist/songwriter Martin Christian got together a brand new Paragon line-up three years later and released this definitely superior album.
It's really speed metal more than power, and with grim lyrics that reflect war and all that. Singer Andreas Babuschkin wails suitably, while the choruses are chanted in gang-like fashion, something I often tend to like for some reason.
The Final Command is certainly no classic, but remains a step ahead for this German band.
