Paragon Theorem: Inkwell

The latest album by Paragon Theorem, Inkwell, is an overstuffed bag of tricks that never lets up, and will leave listeners entertained, amazed, and inspired. From ballads to the majestic licks and vocals of Alive (For The First Time), the Connecticut bands expertly composes tracks that showcase crunchy distortion-addled chord progressions, complex picking and drumming, bass that is used for so much more than just a rhythm instrument, and vocals with tremendous range - all of which come together to deliver an album that is nothing short of brilliant. Paragon Theorem has no problem playing to the listener's intellect as well as the soul, often times eschewing the verse/bridge/chorus formula for pure artistic vision – taking the listener on a journey with each song.

Paragon Theorem are wrapping up their east coast tour in October, and (as shown in the video below) they are just as amazing live as they are in the studio:

Every track stands out on its own, from Fluoride (a simultaneous one two punch to authoritarianism and conspiracy sheep alike, with judicious sampling of JFK's 1961 speech about secret societies) to the past-paced and cathartic Absolution. Paragon Theorem's Inkwell is a must-have for anyone who loves both smart and emotionally-driven lyrics, backed my raw music punctuated by technical expertise. With Inkwell, Paragon Theorem, founded in 2012, have already earned their place among Dream Theater, Echolyn, and the more experimental Living Colour albums.

Paragon Theorem's Inkwell is available on iTunes, CDBaby, Google, Amazon, and other major digital distributors. You can check out Paragon Theorem on their official website, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter for all of their latest news and to keep up with their touring dates.
