Los Angeles-based cinematic hard rock act Edge of Paradise will release its sixth studio album and Napalm Records debut, “Prophecy,” on March 7, 2025. Pre-order it here, and watch the music video for the new single “Death Note” below.
On the album, Edge of Paradise rages against the existential crisis of what is known commonly as “The Singularity,” the prophesized moment in time in which humanity loses control of artificial intelligence, leading to potentially cataclysmic shifts to life as we know it. Band mastermind and frontwoman Margarita Monet combats this grim prediction with her vulnerable, self-effacing lyricism and artwork featured on the cover and accompanying earbook. “Prophecy” was co-produced with Mike Plotnikoff (Nita Strauss, Apocalyptica, Daughtry, Three Days Grace), mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Katatonia, Delain, Evergrey) and incorporates eight-string guitars for the first time.
Alongside the album announcement, the band has unleashed “Death Note,” an anthem built urging listeners to escape their technological confines and reconnect with humanity. The official music video, directed by Monet, features high quality special effects and immersive sets and costumes, transporting viewers into the band’s narrative universe.
“Death Note’ is an intense battle for identity and connection, powered by soaring melodies and an aggressive sound,” Monet said. “In a world where digital forces aim to seize control, and greed and conquest have dehumanized existence and stripped away individuality, two souls stand in defiance. Together, they fight to preserve the essence of being alive. Bound by loyalty, determination and human spirit, they risk everything to stand united against the rising tide of control to reclaim what it means to be truly human.”
