German metal scene is probably my favorite among others. I do love NWOBHM (check out the blog about it), USPM, Bay Area thrash, and basically bands from all over the world, but for some reason heavy, speed, power and thrash metal groups from Germany are closer to my tastes. They are like warriors by vocation — do their best to what they once swore and never disapoint their loyal fans. Paragon have always been in my short list for an interview, and now, when they have released another solid peice of metal called, ahem, "Metalation", I had a pleasure to talk to Jan Bünning about the album, the odds of being in an undeground band, Paragon's upcoming 35th anniversary and some more!
