'Mask' came at #6 most added on national CMJ radio, right behind Machine Head and solidified existence of Edge Of Paradise. An album chockfull of industrial-tinged metal coupled with soaring vocal hooks, was greatly received by critics and fans worldwide.Legendary Rock Interviews stated "Once in a while a new band comes along that not only has a unique sound of its’ own but draws upon all the things we love about metal or rock to begin with. Edge of Paradise are one of the best independent bands to come out of L.A. in some time."After the release of 'Mask' and a number of regional shows, The group immediately began writing to showcase the bands maturity and define the direction that was pre-empted by “Mask”.Developing their sound that would define Edge Of Paradise. Later in 2012, Edge Of Paradise started to expand, playing shows throughout the West Coast states as well as landing a few shows in HI.By 2013, the band was working with legendary Michael Wagener on the mix of the songs and recording with grammy winning producer Bob Kulick (Kiss, Motorhead), 'Perfect Shade Of Black' was the result.

Let me be the first to say that Perfect Shade Of Black meets and exceeds all of said expectations..." RushOnRock.com said; "Monet really lets rip on title track Perfect Shade Of Black – opening up her powerful pipes to reveal a vocal range her peers on the female-fronted metal scene can only dream of... it’s obvious why this band’s big news on the retro-obsessed LA scene right now."2013 served as a heavy touring year for the band, Edge Of Paradise toured West Coast and East Coast, as well as hitting some states in midwest. And after playing in over 15 states the band is gearing up for their release of the second studio album, 'Immortal Waltz' produced by the legendary Michael Wagener.With a solid line up Margarita Monet-Vocals, Dave Bates-guitars, Nick Ericson-bass, John Chominsky-drums the band is looking forward to jumping into the future, full speed ahead!

Album:
LA based cinematic hard rock frontrunners EDGE OF PARADISE are pleased to unveil their explosive sixth studio album, and first with Napalm Records, Prophecy, out March 7, 2025.The band's heaviest venture to date, and first to feature 8-string guitars, Prophecy promises to engage fans, emboldening listeners with boisterous riffs and soaring hooks. Lyrically, enigmatic frontwoman Margarita Monet beckons listeners to embrace their humanity, and remember that their Prophecy is in their hands."Los Angeles based cinematic hard rockers EDGE OF PARADISE - who have made waves in the heavy music scene with acclaimed albums like Universe (2019), The Unknown (2021) and Hologram (2023), as well as tours with the likes of Lacuna Coil, DragonForce and Amaranthe - are pleased to unveil their sixth studio album, and first with Napalm Records, Prophecy, arriving March 7, 2025.On Prophecy, EDGE OF PARADISE rage against the existential crisis of what is commonly known as “The Singularity,” the prophesized moment in time in which humanity loses control of artificial intelligence, leading to potentially cataclysmic shifts to life as we know it. Frontwoman, keyboardist, and powerhouse vocalist Margarita Monet combats this grim prediction by delving deep into the darkest corners of herself, encouraging listeners to embrace the strength in vulnerability and community through her divulging and self-effacing lyricism. Their first album to incorporate 8-string guitars, Prophecy packs some extreme firepower for EDGE OF PARADISE’s most intense voyage yet, and they are thrilled to take listeners along for the adventure.The album kicks off in explosive fashion with opening track “Death Note”, a bombastic crash through apathetic walls encouraging listeners to break free from their technological isolation, and embrace connection with others over numb comfort alone. “Give It To Me (Mind Assassin)”, cranks up the intensity with an irresistible driving pulse propelled even further by an infectiously dancy chorus. A raucous fight for authenticity and self-realization, “Prophecy Unbound” careens through claustrophobically tight riffage, blossoming into a lush and cathartic belt-along chorus. The winding serpentine melodies of “Falling Light” explode with Monet’s venomous soaring vocals, dancing around ethereal synth textures, enveloping listeners in a sonic gothic cathedral. Released earlier this year, lead single “Rogue (Aim For The Kill)”, is a full throttle industrial rock track about perseverance in the face of seeming unbeatable adversity. “The Other Side of Fear” is an energized rager built on pulsating dance beats and features a standout guitar solo from composer and commander in shred Dave Bates. Prophecy takes a stand against indifference, encouraging listeners to go outside, cry, and embrace all the uncomfortable parts of life that make us human, before comfort driven apathy driven by addictive algorithms bring about our demise.Prophecy is co-produced with Mike Plotnikoff (Nita Strauss, Apocalyptica, Daughtry, Three Days Grace, and many more), recorded at West Valley Recording Studios and mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Katatonia, Delain, Evergrey among other significant metal bands). Always looking for new and innovative ways to engage with fans, Prophecy will release alongside the follow up to the band’s graphic novel Hologram and Slaves to Forever. Shortly after the release, EDGE OF PARADISE will hit the road supporting Delain on their highly anticipated North American headline tour alongside fellow labelmates Xandria. EDGE OF PARADISE is one of the most exciting bands out there, continuously pushing the envelope musically while welcoming and connecting with fans all over the world. "
