PRESENTS:
THE METAL EDGE OF EDGE OF PARADiSE AND THEiR DEBUT CD MASK 
FEBRUARY
17, 2012 - The Los Angeles based female-fronted metal band,
EDGE OF PARADISE, are ready to set the world aflame with
their debut CD, Mask. EDGE OF PARADISE is fronted by the stunning
MARGARITA MONET who delivers potent yet melodic vocals along with
virtuoso keyboard playing that adds a unique classical flair to the
band’s sonic metal assault. Combine that with the ferocious fretwork of
guitarist DAVE BATES who intertwines compelling leads and bombastic
riffs and you’ve got a band that offers something highly refreshing in
today’s modern metal sound-scape. Mask also features guest appearances
by renowned session drummer GREGG BISSONETTE and bassist
extraordinaire TONY FRANKLIN who prove to be the ultimate
rhythm section when it comes to the hard-edged rock sounds contained on
the debut recordings. Other guests on the CD include bassist BJORN
ENGLEN (YNGWIE MALMSTEEM), drummer CRAIG ANDERSON and backing vocals
from ROBIN McCAULEY (MSG) who also co-wrote most the songs along with
DAVE and MARGARITA, and cutting-edge songwriter RYAN JONES. EDGE OF
PARADISE was formed in the beginning of 2011 from the ashes of DAVE
BATES’ former band BLEED, which was fronted by ROBIN McAULEY. The
influences on the CD are incredibly diverse, and have been pegged as
“Industrial Melodic Chaos”. MARGARITA states “it has always been my
vision to create music that will be around for a while and I feel like
we have really achieved that with Mask.” The band plans to tour the US
at the start of the year 2012, to promote MASK. Along with MARGARITA
and DAVE, drummer KEVIN KATICH and bassist STEVEN COOK will
round off the live band.

planted

(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
