Brought together by a little serendipity, bonded by a common lifelong commitment to music, and boosted by a fresh fire, 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).
"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.
