A valiant, thundering power-metal opus, 'Ascension' the debut album from Paladin. Fast, melodic, and technical, Paladin is on a mission to bring some European flavor to the Atlanta's metal scene. The foursome blends soaring vocals, harsh rasps, catchy melodies, and fiery guitar work reminiscent of the '80s power metal's finest to create their own brand of thrashy power metal. Fronted by Taylor Washington, a stalwart of the Atlanta metal scene. Recommended for fans of Helloween, Blind Guardian and Iced Earth. Comes on transparent blue with purple and white splatter coloured vinyl.
