Paradise Slaves

**Paradise Slaves** is a hard-hitting metal band formed in 2024, uniting veterans from **36 Crazyfists**, **Diecast**, and other notable acts. Fronted by **Brock Lindow** (of **36 Crazyfists** fame), the Boston-based group includes guitarists **Tyler Stroetzel** and **Jon Kita** (Diecast), bassist **Brad Horion** (Diecast), and drummer **Ryan Manning** (Pentagram, Blitzkid). Their debut album, *With Hell In His Eyes* (released May 2, 2025 via Spinefarm Records), packs tracks like **"A Fever To Defeat"**, **"Swim North"** (featuring **Unearth**’s Trevor Phipps), and a gritty **Soul Asylum** cover of **"Somebody To Shove"**—blending personal themes, including Lindow’s immigration struggles with his South African wife, into their raw, collaborative energy.

The band’s origin story traces back to a pandemic-era connection sparked by **Killswitch Engage**’s **Joel Stroetzel**, who linked his brother **Tyler** with **Lindow** for a solo project. That chemistry quickly evolved into Paradise Slaves’ full-throttle sound, with the group sharing stages with **Killswitch Engage** and **Three Days Grace** even before their debut dropped.
