Three months on from the release of the enjoyable ‘Boneyard’, London based metalcore act Paradis have returned with the even more powerful ‘Immortal’.

By opening with an incredibly chunky mid-tempo riff, the band immediately have their audience’s attention, and the dirty tones applied throughout really sell a modern brand of heaviness. The addition of choral vocals increases the dark feel during an even slower bridge section, and there’s every feeling that this band are set to crush everything in their path. The guitar sounds may dominate, but if anything sticks here, it’s a great vocal. Jonny Weaver’s gruff approach lends something intense to an already brutal sounding workout, but at the same time, his tones are just a little more accessible than a lot of hardcore infused metal. As the track progresses, the dual guitars supplied by Federico Di Biase and Pedro Silva continue their brilliant and hugely chunky assault, but when taking a moment to slow down during an interlude that pushes the choral elements to the fore, they share something even heavier.

They may still be taking their earliest steps into their recording career, but by presenting a sound that has more of a concession to intense metal riffs than to hardcore, Paradis show themselves to be a band with a great promise. They’re a metalcore act that are a little more accessible, but certainly aren’t sacrificing anything in the way of intensity, With absolutely no flab on a heavy as hell workout, ‘Immortal’ is very much the kind of vehicle that’ll push Paradis forward and bring new fans to the fold.
