Step forward Paradise Inc. who are aiming to change that perception. After several years of playing in cover bands, Rick (Bass), Allan (Drums), Marcos Peres (Guitar) and De Grigo (Guitar) decided to "bite the bullet" and come together to... compose their own music, armed only with a courageous approach bordering on innovative, embracing the genre of Hard Rock in a country like Brazil. Without fear of failure, nor concern for the competition or the current musical trends, the band opted for playing from the heart and soul rather than selling out. Paradise Inc. was born! Here is a group steeped in musical references from bands like Europe, Bon Jovi, Harem Scarem, Jaded Heart and Danger Danger. Their debut album, entitled "Time", features ten songs and will be released in the first half of 2011. Renowned musicians like the singer Carsten Lizard Schulz (Evidence One, Midnite Club, Ex-Domain) and keyboard player Alessandro Del Vecchio (Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice, Edge Of Forever, Eden's Curse, Time Machine & Moonstone Project) have joined the project, as well as Doogie White (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, Cornerstone & Tank), who appears as a guest vocalist on the track "Not In Paradise". Recorded in Brazil, Germany and Scotland, "Time" was produced and mixed by Paul Logue (Eden's Curse), while the mastering was handled by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Unisonic, Angra, Krokus, Primal Fear, Place Vendome). Musically, the album shows that Paradise Inc. would not venture away from the "magic formula" that worked so well with the Hard Rock / AOR and Melodic Rock great of the 80s. The band developed intense riffs and catchy licks with a penchant for emotional ballads. Their lyrics talk about themes such as beliefs, loves won or lost as well as social commentary with a positive message. Paradise Inc. mean business and their debut album is a solidly crafted piece of work that many bands would dream of being this good out of the gate. The best part is, this lot are just getting started!
