“Gloom Paradox” is a testament to Stand Abandoned’s relentless energy and raw, emotional depth. The video, directed with a sharp, immersive visual style, reflects the band’s unapologetically heavy sound and tackles themes of internal conflict, darkness, and resilience. The track’s blistering riffs, thundering drums, and gut-wrenching vocals have already drawn comparisons to some of metal’s biggest names, and the video amplifies the song’s power with gripping imagery and captivating cinematography.

Emerging from the small but vibrant metal scene of New Hampshire, Stand Abandoned has been making waves with their intense live performances and uncompromising sound.
