Band information

Aragon is a progressive rock and metal band from Melbourne. Their style has been described as similar to early recordings by bands like Yes and Pendragon, and therefore more in the field of prog rock than progressive metal however their releases are prized by European prog-metal fans.

The band has existed in some form since at least 1986 with an album first appearing in 1987. The 1993 album is a collection of recordings from the period before Don't Bring the Rain. The Mouse album was originally issued as a single album, but re-released in 1999 on Dutch label LaBraD'or as a double CD including tracks from "The Meeting".

After a six-year break, the band's most recent album The Angel's Tear was released in 2004.
