News : Paradigm’s new (9/10) album is now available

By on January 30, 2012

“When Paradigm stormed the scene in 2010 they announced in the most uncompromising of terms that they would be the next big thing in progressive metal. Symmetry (In)Sanity was one of the most diverse, groovy, and beautifully melodic albums of that year and it certainly set the bar high for future releases. With their 2012 follow up Mind is Key, Paradigm have not only maintained all the elements that made Symmetry (In)Sanity but have taken each and smashed them out of the arena. The album is incomparably more technical, encompasses more styles and features a vocal performance more far-reaching than ever.”

That is the opening paragraph of our early review of Paradigm’s latest album, and more or less what I was going to open this post with anyway. If you’re not familiar with the Sydney-based band, below is the 11-minute title track off this new album. If you are familiar, then you’ll want to head straight over to their Bigcartel store where the new album is now available for purchase. And to keep an eye out for more updates and (we assume) live show announcements, head over to their Facebook page.

Let us know what you think in the comment section below, we think they’re pretty rad.
