Today’s collectors corner feature is the 2017 Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal album of the year.

Edge of Paradise “Alive”

2017 HARD ROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR

TOP 100 HARD ROCK/ HEVY METAL ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME

….Edge of Paradise has 4 ALBUMS on the top 100 Hard Rock/Albums of all-time….not bad huh?

Usually this feature is to mock and make fun of the poor journalism at BNR METAL PAGES or METAL ARCHIVES.

Since Edge of Paradise has no pages over there Today were going to point out the incorrect score at RoadrunneR’s / Blabbermouth news service.

It received a 8 out of 10 today over at RoadrunneR/ Blabbermouth, the review was professional and courteous. And said some pretty flattering things. But put the band at the 8 out of 10 strata, in college a 8 out of 10 is a B-. And the reason I do these collector corner articles. Lets see

WHAT I WOULD OF GOT ROBBED OUT OF….If I listened to some this, who has no clue what he is talking about.

 

I own 8 Copies of “Mask”

8 * 15 = $120

I own 8 copies of “Immortal Waltz”

8 * 15 = $120

I seen Edge of Pardise live and they are a TOP 10 LIVE BAND OF ALL-TIME, I have been a concert-goer since 1982 !!!

And average 320 concerts a year from 1986-1997. I worked for Booking Agencies and concert theatres complexes. And average 120 a year since I stopped working for Booking Agencies.

I go to the record shoppes 123 times a year since 1982. None of this is bragging. I am trying to make the points, Since all Edge of Paradise albums are TIMELESS MASTERPIECES and KICK ASS METAL’S #2 — SECOND GREATEST LIVE BAND OF ALL-TIME — The Greatest Live Band of all-time is Hanzel Und Gretyl, and I will not reveal the aspect of the actual aesthetics of this historic fact…!!!

Okay $240 for CD’s + 10 Dollars a concert ticket + 15 for a tShirt.

$265 Dollars. And seeing Edge of Paradise LIVE …. can not put a price tag on this, whoa, Edge of Paradise are the coolest down to earth nicest people I have meet, and there fans are the best, nothing put brotherhood and positive vibes.

So with this bad review score of a 8 out of 10, I consider this like this dude is trying to take the $265 dollars, that I spent on Edge of Paradise and steal it from me…!!! Because if you believe that low score.

YOUR GETTTING ROBBED OUT OF OWING 4 OF THE BEST WORLD-CLASS ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME, and seeing ONE OF THE GREATEST HARD ROCK/HEAVY METAL BNAD OF ALL-TIME LIVE IN CONCERT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Learn to question the bad scores, of top-notch hard rock / heavy metal albums….!!!

For those not up on WORLD-CLASS HARD ROCK/ HEAYV METAL.

Edge of Paradise has a # 1 WORLD- WIDE Ranking here @ KICK ASS METAL for the category for hard rock/ heavy metal. For those who do not know the meaning of the phrase # 1 World-Wide Ranking. It means they are

THE GREATEST HARD ROCK/ HEAVY METAL band in their category ….THE GREATEST HARD ROCK / HEAVY METAL BAND IN THE WORLD at this time in World-Class Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal History !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is the blurb for the above photo

Edge Of Paradise‘s new album was released today. Congrats to them for making #1 on Amazon hard rock/metal. If sales keep up, they may make Billboard too, which would be well deserved: “I loved Edge of Paradise’s 2015 album Immortal Waltz so I was very excited to hear their new album Alive. I wasn’t disappointed. The album starts with the title track, which picks up right where Immortal Waltz left off. However, that doesn’t mean there are no surprises. Far from it, the Alive album sees EOP experimenting with new sounds, heavier and more industrial. Rating 10/10.” Click for our full review.

10/10

I loved Edge of Paradise’s 2015 album Immortal Waltz so I was very excited to hear their new album Alive. I wasn’t disappointed. The album starts with the title track, which picks up right where Immortal Waltz left off. However, that doesn’t mean there are no surprises. Far from it, the Alive album sees EOP experimenting with new sounds, heavier and more industrial.

Regardless, the opening song “Alive” highlights all of EOP’s strengths: urgent and otherworldly vocals, in the tradition of Ronnie James Dio, from Margarita Monet; compelling rhythms from bassist Nick Ericson and drummer John Chominsky; and major riffage from guitarist Dave Bates. The guitar is actually a major plus of EOP; unlike some other bands in the genre, EOP has a classic guitar-driven sound. You can check this out in the video for “Alive,” where Dave is looking cool leaning against the wall and showing off his mastery of the instrument, starting at about 2:06. Margarita also looks fabulous in this video (as always), and I dig her female Rob Halford outfit. I hope she wears it on stage. (As a digression, EOP are fantastic live. Be sure to check them out if you have the chance. They will soon start a U.S. tour to support the Alive album, and they will also appear at the FemME festival in the Netherlands in September, with Delain.)

“Alive” also has a cool message. As explained by Margarita, the song “is dealing with us humans being so caught up in the digital world, obsessed with convenience and monetary gain, we have begun to sacrifice our humanity. We are becoming corporate led consumer machines! We get lost in the enticing virtual reality that we forget what real human interaction feels like. Break away from bombardment of advertisements, social standards, never ending race with time and just breathe, and remember what it’s like to feel alive! To connect with our fellow humans and the world!” That sentiment echoes the message of my favorite EOP song, “Break Away.”

The next song on Alive, “Dust to Dust,” is where EOP’s industrial experimentation really starts. The music, beat, and even Margarita’s voice sound more Marilyn Manson than Ronnie James Dio on this song. But it’s still really good! “Be who you wanna be, feel what you wanna feel, love how you wanna love,” Margarita chants to a club beat. Great stuff.

Next up is the album’s ballad, “Mystery,” about the tragedy and beauty of life, the universe, and everything. Margarita is a lifelong pianist so piano ballads like this come naturally to her, and are well suited to the softer side of her voice.

After that is the album’s other released single and video, “Shade of Crazy.” This song represents a heavier version of the band’s classic sound and is probably my favorite on the album. I could lose myself forever in the fast drums and seductive vocals starting at about 1:50. I can’t complain about Margarita’s amazing hair and look in the video either.

The album finishes with “Humanoid,” another Mansonesque industrial song. It works well. But sadly that’s the end. Alive is just a 5-song EP. Hopefully another full length will soon follow. In the meantime, I will wear out the bits on my phone’s flash drive re-listening to Alive. I highly recommend it!

You can learn more about Edge of Paradise on their Facebook and webpage. Also be sure to check out Alive’s nice cover art, by artist Timo Wuerz, who also did Immortal Waltz.

I also want to add at this point that Timo Wuerz won the 2017 ALBUM COVER OF THE YEAR ….!!!!

Also I wanted to add at this point I have been keeping track as a heavy metal fan since 1978 the greatest album of all-time and when I became a fan of World-Class Female Fronted Heavy Metal, we have a person of the year ever year and Margarita Monet is a 3 TIME KICK*ASS*METAL PERSON OF THE YEAR WINNER. There is also a Norwegian Person of the year. Since this publication is a Specialized Press for Norwegian Gothic/Dark/Horror/Avant Garde Metal…so stay tuned for that announcement !!!!!!!!!!

Every Friday @ The KICK ASS METAL offices we have a pizza, beer, and listen to the top 25 — top 30 albums of all-time, and we discuss the future of this publication and the futures of hard rock/ heavy metal.

We are heavily on the World-Class Guitarist / Neo-Classical / Shred METAL side of things, and Dave Bates is the GOLD STANDARD for not only Hard Rock / But Heavy Metal also, and our favorite style of all-time Bay Area Thrash.

Edge of Paradise are the future of hard rock/ heavy metal. This is the band EVERY BAND ON THE PLANET has been judged against since April 2014. I am an Edge of Paradise fan between the “Mask” and “Immortal Waltz” era. I wish I was a 1st day fan of this band since their inception foundation back in February 2011.

Also I would like to point out that as a publication with the topic of WORLD-CLASS HEAVY METAL, that we are heavily on the World-Class Vocalist side of things, and Margarita Monet is a true one-in-a-billion World-Class Vocalist. So th0se who are now in Junior High School, High School, and want to be a member in a hard rock/ heavy metal band as the vocalist, this is the standard you must equal and if you ever achieve a higher level than Margarita Monet, just keep in mind Edge of Paradise also has in its ranks Dave Bates, Nick Ericson, and John Chominsky.

4 of California best World-Class musicians, in the same band.

Van Halen

Mötley Crüe

Metallica

now

Edge of Paradise

Edge of Paradise is my favorite band from America since Metallica, Mötley Crüe before them and, Van Halen before them.

FULL SCORE

“I loved Edge of Paradise’s 2015 album Immortal Waltz so I was very excited to hear their new album Alive. I wasn’t disappointed. The album starts with the title track, which picks up right where Immortal Waltz left off. However, that doesn’t mean there are no surprises. Far from it, the Alive album sees EOP experimenting with new sounds, heavier and more industrial.

Regardless, the opening song “Alive” highlights all of EOP’s strengths: urgent and otherworldly vocals, in the tradition of Ronnie James Dio, from Margarita Monet; compelling rhythms from bassist Nick Ericson and drummer John Chominsky; and major riffage from guitarist Dave Bates. The guitar is actually a major plus of EOP; unlike some other bands in the genre, EOP has a classic guitar-driven sound. You can check this out in the video for “Alive,” where Dave is looking cool leaning against the wall and showing off his mastery of the instrument, starting at about 2:06. Margarita also looks fabulous in this video (as always), and I dig her female Rob Halford outfit. I hope she wears it on stage. (As a digression, EOP are fantastic live. Be sure to check them out if you have the chance. They will soon start a U.S. tour to support the Alive album, and they will also appear at the FemME festival in the Netherlands in September, with Delain.)

“Alive” also has a cool message. As explained by Margarita, the song “is dealing with us humans being so caught up in the digital world, obsessed with convenience and monetary gain, we have begun to sacrifice our humanity. We are becoming corporate led consumer machines! We get lost in the enticing virtual reality that we forget what real human interaction feels like. Break away from bombardment of advertisements, social standards, never ending race with time and just breathe, and remember what it’s like to feel alive! To connect with our fellow humans and the world!” That sentiment echoes the message of my favorite EOP song, “Break Away.”

The next song on Alive, “Dust to Dust,” is where EOP’s industrial experimentation really starts. The music, beat, and even Margarita’s voice sound more Marilyn Manson than Ronnie James Dio on this song. But it’s still really good! “Be who you wanna be, feel what you wanna feel, love how you wanna love,” Margarita chants to a club beat. Great stuff.

Next up is the album’s ballad, “Mystery,” about the tragedy and beauty of life, the universe, and everything. Margarita is a lifelong pianist so piano ballads like this come naturally to her, and are well suited to the softer side of her voice.

After that is the album’s other released single and video, “Shade of Crazy.” This song represents a heavier version of the band’s classic sound and is probably my favorite on the album. I could lose myself forever in the fast drums and seductive vocals starting at about 1:50. I can’t complain about Margarita’s amazing hair and look in the video either.

The album finishes with “Humanoid,” another Mansonesque industrial song. It works well. But sadly that’s the end. Alive is just a 5-song EP. Hopefully another full length will soon follow. In the meantime, I will wear out the bits on my phone’s flash drive re-listening to Alive. I highly recommend it!

You can learn more about Edge of Paradise on their Facebook and webpage. Also be sure to check out Alive’s nice cover art, by artist Timo Wuerz, who also did Immortal Waltz.”

EDGE OF PARADISE Biography
 

Edge Of Paradise was formed by Margarita Monet and Dave Bates in 2011. Few months after formation, the band released their debut album ‘Mask’ that featured rhythm section of bassist Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, The Firm) and drummer Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth Band). ‘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’, touring numerous states on the West Coast and landing a gig in HI, the group immediately began writing to showcase the bands maturity and define the direction that was pre-empted by “Mask”.

By 2013, the band started working with legendary Michael Wagener on the mix of the new songs and recording with grammy winning producer Bob Kulick (Kiss, Motorhead), ‘Perfect Shade Of Black’ was the result. The EP was made available only via physical release, before the worldwide full-length album release in 2015. The EP received rave reviews, painting a vivid picture of the bands staggering growth, and if public perception is any indicator, the lyric video for one of the songs “Breakaway” quickly reached 200,000 views with the debut on AOL’s “Noisecreep.”
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.”

2014 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 18 states and signing with German based label, Pure Steel Records the band released their second full length studio album. IMMORTAL WALTZ, produced and recorded by the legendary Michael Wagener was released May 2015. Right away the album has started to receive great review from critiques from online and print magazines. Revolver magazine took note of the band and released their music videos for single “In A Dream” and “Rise For The Fallen”. The album was voted album of the week by Revolver’s readers.

Debuting at #2 CMJ metal radio, Immortal Waltz quickly secured it’s place in the top 20 of the national CMJ loud chart.
Lance Hall of 90.9 WJSCFM stated “This is one of the most unique sounding albums I’ve heard in a long long time. True craftsmanship on all the songs and with a person the stature of Michael Wagener producing and mixing, there’s no doubt that the only grade to give this project is a full FIVE STARS !!!”

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!

Here is what Guitar International had to say:

“There is some tremendous guitar work on this CD… Edge Of Paradise is ready for the big time”

Metalholic.com Stated:

“Dave Bates is the epitome of a guitar hero. Eddie Van Halen of this generation with his own style, incredible technique and monster shredding.”

HardRockHaven.net stated:

“Guitarist, Dave Bates is the epitome of sheer effortless virtuosity; this guy will make all guitar players either Idolize or hate him, as there are very few guitarists on this Earth that can shred like Bates. He has such precision, such feel, tasty licks, rips solos so that every note is meant to be exactly where it is. I honestly can say that I’ve seen the best of guitarists, and he is one of the very best, period.”

Nick Ericson * BIO

NICK ERICSON – BASSIST

Nick Ericson was born in an old weathered barn just off the shores of a Louisiana  swamp. Born with large protruding canine tusks, Nick’s mother died shortly after childbirth due to major complications due to internal puncture wounds and an overdose of flintstones vitamins confused for antibiotics.

Ericson was adopted and raised by wild boars in the swampy lowlands of the American south until he was ten years old when his large canines fell out and were replaced by normal, healthy adult teeth.

Two weeks after his 10th birthday Ericson Joined a traveling group of vagrant mutants playing an empty whiskey jug in a blues based folk band called “The Swamp Rats”

Arnie Mudwaddle, “The Swamp Rats” bass player at the time, immediately took a liking to Ericson and took him under his wing. That was when his musical training really began.

Three years later, when Mudwaddle was killed in a tragic accident when a corn whiskey still exploded on the back of moving tractor, Ericson was the logical choice to take his place as a full member of the band.

After joining “The Swamp Rats” in 1999 Ericson played with them exclusively until he was 19 making many valuable connections in the music industry. Tragically this relationship ended in late 2005 when “The Swamp Rats” singer, Scragglepox, drove his 1969 Coup Deville lovingly nicknamed “The Land Yacht” into a murky leechridden lake in Alabama arguing that “no car that big could possibly sink”. Being the only member who could swim, Ericson was the sole survivor.

For the next 6 years he traveled the country (never outside because he couldn’t get a passport for lack of a birth certificate) performing in many various bands and brothels simply to get by.

In February of 2012 Ericson picked up a side Job remodeling “Office Studios” owned by Brett Chassen and Bob Kulick, and after developing a close friendship with them decided to stay on as their assistant in the studio.

Towards the end of 2012 “Edge of Paradise” came into office studios to record their single “Break Away”. By the beginning of 2013 Ericson was able to convince them to bring him on as bass player based only on his good looks and charming personality. He looks forward to a prosperous future performing with them.

BELOW ARE SOME KILLER QUOTES ON EDGE OF PARADISE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC AND HEAVY METAL PRESS

icionicimageofchloemortezkickassmetalrulesplanetmetal7896867854a112312656

Once in a while a new band comes along that not only has a unique sound of itsʼ own but draws upon all the things we love about metal or rock to begin with. Edge of Paradise are one of the best bands to come out in some time.”
                                          -Legendary Rock Interviews


“Exceptional and surprising new EP smashes preconceived notions in marked difference from debut album… This new EP is going to surprise you in a major way, but in a really good way. ”
-Rock Revolt Magazine


“An album recorded with Bob Kulick and Brett Chassen and mixed by Michael Wagener brings with it certain expectations. Let me be the first to say that Perfect Shade Of Black meets and exceeds all of said expectations… The EP consists mostly of guitar-driven mid-tempo hard rocking tunes that include talented yet tasteful guitar solos. The exception is “Ghost,” a terrific string laced ballad that really showcases Margarita Monet’s vocal ability”.
– PureGrainAudio


” What can I say about the amazing vocals of Margarita that hasnʼt already be said? Donʼt let that pretty face fool you because this woman is not a gimmick. She sings circles around so many other vocalists in the industry today; both male and female.”
“Dave Bates is a beast on the guitar as his soaring solos are epic in composition and bring a lot of classic elements to the game.
– RockRevolt Magazine

“The band is fronted by the absolutely stunning Margarita Monet, who captivated the place the moment she stepped on that stage. Donʼt be fooled by her angelic personality and beauty, Monetʼs power and intensity will grab you by the neck and wonʼt let go until your head is blown off by her unearthly vocal range, hitting the notes most singers would not dare to attempt.
Guitarist, Dave Bates is the epitome of sheer effortless virtuosity; this guy will make all guitar players either Idolize or hate him, as there are very few guitarists on this Earth that can shred like Bates. He has such precision, such feel, tasty licks, rips solos so that every note is meant to be exactly where it is. I honestly can say that Iʼve seen the best of guitarists, and he is one of the very best, period.
-HardRockHaven


“Whatʼs really striking here is the sheer power of the vocals, theyʼre awesome and can achieve notes which most singers wouldnʼt even attempt. The voice of Margarita Monet adds an extra touch to the music that male vocals can lack. It also helps to make Edge of Paradise more memorable in a genre where few bands are fronted by women. Her voice is stunning to keep it simple…”
-Brian McKinnon – Muzikreviews.com Staff

Biography

Edge of Paradise might be a new band, but when your debut album includes the rhythm section of bassist Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, The Firm) and drummer Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth Band), you know you’re already in great shape. Now add the powerhouse vocals of Margarita Monet and Dave Bates’ towering guitars and you have yourself a record essential to any fan of melodic metal.Formed by Monet and Bates in 2011, Edge Of Paradise debut release ‘Mask’ (Co written with Robin Mc Auley ) that came at #6 most added on national CMJ radio, right behind Machine Head and Five Finger Death Punch. 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.”Edge Of Paradise has been gearing up for the new year with new music and big plans. The group immediately began writing to showcase the bands maturity and define the direction that was pre-empted by “Mask”. Working with legendary Michael Wagener on the mix of the songs and recording with grammy winning producer Bob Kulick (Kiss, Motorhead), the new songs will be a showcase for the staggering growth and maturity, achieved since the release of the “Mask”.Edge Of Paradise knows how to bring it live. HardRockHaven stated, “Don’t be fooled by her angelic personality and beauty, Monet’s power and intensity will grab you by the neck and won’t let go until your head is blown off by her unearthly vocal range, hitting the notes most singers would not dare to attempt. Guitarist, Dave Bates is the epitome of sheer effortless virtuosity; this guy will make all guitar players either Idolize or hate him, as there are very few guitarists on this Earth that can shred like Bates.”With the solid line up that consists of Margarita Monet -vocals, Dave Bates-guitars, Nick Ericson-bass, John Chominsky-drums, the band is planning a heavy touring year.During one of their past live shows, Music Connection Magazine described the band “as a tight, well-oiled machine”. The band is now ready to bring that machine to the people!
