Paradise Slaves craft hypnotically heavy rock anthems steeped in atmosphere and emotion. The Boston-by-way-of-Anchorage quartet cements an uncanny union between vocal powerhouse Brock Lindow (36 Crazyfists), solo artist and guitarist Tyler Stroetzel, guitarist Jon Kita (Diecast), bassist Brad Horion (Diecast) and drummer Ryan Manning (Blitzkid, Pentagram).
Paradise Slaves introduced this body of work with the single ‘Dreamers’. A chugging palm-muted riff slips into an airy verse punctuated a breathy melody.
As the story goes, Killswitch Engage guitarist Joel Stroetzel shot a text over to Brock mid-Pandemic. As it turned out, his younger brother Tyler was putting together a solo album, ‘Dark Verses, Vol. 1’, and wanted Brock to sing on a track. Right away, Tyler and Brock hit it off as collaborators and buddies.
Following the first song, they continued to write and record. Given his longstanding friendship with Brock, Jon naturally fit in and joined the fold followed by Brad and Ryan. Jamming away, they nodded to formative inspirations such as Soundgarden and Alice In Chains twisted up with just the right amount of hardcore grit and heavy metal eloquence. In between, they performed alongside the likes of Killswitch Engage, Fit For An Autopsy and more.
“To me, the overall concept of ‘With Hell In His Eyes’ is to never surrender, continue to fight, and continue to be grateful for life,” he says. “Those were my thoughts. I’m a 49-year-old man who has lived and learned a lot. No one is perfect. Coming to this realization, trying to be better each day is a definitely goal.”
In the end, Paradise Slaves have followed their destiny exactly where they’re supposed to be.
Trevor Phipps (Unearth) appears as a guest on ‘Swim North’.
