====== Paragon ======

Progressive Metal\\
Kingston, Washington, USA

Paragon brings a progressive influenced melodic metal sound. In addition to releasing two demo tapes, //Just Believe// and //Dead And Alive//, Paragon won the Klitsap County "battle of the bands" contest three years running. You would think a label might have taken notice and signed these guys.

The track "Why Are There So Many Sinners?" shows up on //Underground Metal// Compilation put out in 1988 by Regency records.

Jeff Schronce went on to form the band [[Thresh]]. Paul Roraback went on to join [[Grammatrain]] as well as forming bands like [[Gideon's Press]], [[The Illustrated Band]], and [[PJ Bostic]].
