Paragon Zero are a band from Hungary that plays an atmospheric mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Hexikon" which was released by Neverheard Distro.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts.
Ambient style synths can also be heard on some of the songs as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as one tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars and clean playing, one song is also an instrumental and they close the album with a Hobo Blues Band cover. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion Paragon Zero are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Less Than Once" "Orion's Ride" and "Blightcaller". 8 out of 10.
