Iasi, Romania based ensemble Paragon Collapse announce the release of their debut full-length album,The Dawning, in collaboration with Loud Rage Music. The release date is yet to be announced, but in the meantime the band presents The Endless Dream, a first track taken off The Dawning, inviting everyone to discover their own shape of Doom Metal, psychedelic, atmospheric and progressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6CYcqagjkw Here's what Catalin Doru (Dark Bombastic Evening), a respected figure in this field, had to say about the band: "Paragon Collapse's music left me speechless: Progressive Atmospheric Doom Metal with echoes of Mandylion, or the first Madder Mortem, or even the old Atrox. Some will think these are bombastic comparisons, but give them a listen and it's impossible you won't be surprised by the female vocals, or by the violin... or by anything else."
