Paradise In Exile - The Liberation

Paradise In Exile from Perth, Western Australia have only just got my attention recently with the release of their debut EP titled 'The Liberation.' A devastating and relentless effort which definitely leaves an impact, it has me excited and wanting more from these guys already.

Produced by Roland Lim, who has featured on some amazing releases such as Make Them Suffer's debut album 'Neverbloom.' It's straight up in your face from the moment it starts, right to the very end. Most new bands are going for the EP release first rather than bringing out a full length album, which is smart. It's enough to get your name out there and still have a good amount of songs to play live while you tour and promote the band. The Death Metal/Deathcore scene is very hard to become successful in and it really does take a lot of effort and dedication to make it these days with so many other bands trying the same thing. Paradise In Exile have done an incredible job with this 6-track EP and with all their promoting and touring, I think they will go far in this genre if they chose to keep it up.

What does it sound like? Well it's heavy as hell and very fast. The guitars sound great on here as does the drumming, if you like it a bit technical here and there. Some really innovative parts I've noticed also which I haven't heard before and it really impressed me. My personal favourite track 'Interim' features an amazing breakdown at the 3-minute mark of the song, very cool indeed. The vocals are just how I like them; harsh, heavy and brutal with no cleans and no unnecessary high pitched screams. This is a very well-produced EP from these guys and I highly recommend you go and check them out. I've heard some really amazing bands come out from Perth lately and Paradise In Exile are definitely up there with one of the best.
