Introducing: Paradise Sins

British hard rockers Paradise Sins harness the raw energy of classic rock’n’roll and melodic metal in an engaging sound that they describe as “huge, harmonious and heartfelt.”

The Midlands band, formed of Birmingham’s Luis and Dav, Zack from Evesham and Hereford residents Dan and Conor, was born of a collection of guys who were never quite able to find the right band. They’d toured extensively with other projects, but soon discovered people with the same “delirious drive.” Dan got the band going in 2022 just after the pandemic shutdowns, putting no limits on where new members were recruited from – instead having the ethos of “So much can be done remotely that it was more important to find the right people.”

On the sound they’ve crafted since, the band told us: “We take the virtuosity of metal and the raw attitude of rock’n’roll and what we get is this anthemic, hook-laden, epic music with slightly edgier themes. We write music we want to hear, you should never get tired of listening to your own tunes.”

Our latest taste of this is Bad Bad Bad, which was released in August. It opens up with stabs of guitar giving way to the chorus cries of “bad bad bad” over lively guitars and drums. That drops into palm-muted guitars supporting engaging vocals that flow into an extended chorus. Heavier drums kick in through a second verse, before the pace of the vocal slows and flows into another big chorus. The pace drops with drawn-out guitars, before vocals intensify and drop into palm-muted guitars giving way to a blitzing guitar solo setting up a final blast of the chorus.

On the track, the band said: “The reception has been fantastic. It’s a slight deviation away from our earlier work, which is always a bit of a risk, but it’s become one of our most popular tracks! For the uninitiated, it’s heavy, it’s loud and it pulls no punches whatsoever!”

Bad Bad Bad follows on from the band’s first two EPs, Untamed and Desires, which were both released last year. The latter includes the excellent Beautiful Disaster and the delicious final track Sacrifice, while the former offers more rock goodness like the superb UnDead, Alesia and the intriguingly named Caracharodon in Extremis.

The Paradise Sins sound has been influenced by hard rock acts like Guns N’ Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and H.E.A.T., the likes of Alter Bridge and Ghost, as well as heavier bands like Trivium and Machine Head.

And on what inspires them to write music, they explain: “Anything and everything. A lot of our material is personal, touching on relationships, mental health, grief and loss, motivation, stuff like that. But then there’s also a lot of inspiration from world events, history, fiction. Alesia is a good example of that.”

Paradise Sins have had a busy 2025 that’s seen them sign to Tower Rok management, and they’ll finish off the year by playing Rockmantic Festival in Grimsby on 14 November and supporting Whitesnake UK in Chesterfield on Friday (24 October) and Collateral on Saturday (24 October). The band is also hard at work writing a new record, before they’ll be hitting the road hard again with more gigs through 2026. Tickets and more info is here.

And the band added: “Whatever you may have already heard, we’re even better live! We bring a raw energy and sincerity to every show but we also make it feel like a stadium no matter the size of the venue! It’s go big or go home for us, as we’ve done from the start. The support we have received from day one has been insane. I think people can see how much we love this and wholly enjoy ourselves, whether it’s doing the shows or hanging out with everyone afterwards. It’s a blast.”
