Are you ready for “PARADISE”?
Ahead of I Prevail’s European tour with Amira Elfeky, the rock-geared metalcore vets have teamed up with the rising nu-metal artist to deliver a new collaborative cut called “PARADISE.”
The song explodes out the gate with nu-bounded grooves, and focuses on a back-and-forth vocal approach of big screams from I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe and moody coos from Elfeky. That said, the latter also brings big-bellowed moments to the piece. A press release notes that the duet plays out as a “passionate battle of words between partners,” and features its fair share of doomed-romance lyricism (“Suffocating in your arms is my favorite way to die”).
The arrangement rollercoasters through machine-gunned guitar battery, synth-phonic swells of ambiance, piano ballad pitstops, classically horns-raising arpeggios and more.
“We’ve been fans of Amira for a while,” the members of I Prevail said in a joint statement. “She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song.
“We all saw the vision for it almost right away. That’s a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don’t think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it.”
I Prevail’s European leg of their ‘Violent Nature’ tour begins September 19th. Elfeky opens all dates, and the acts will also be joined by UK hardcore outfit Polaris.
