Band Bio

Edge Of Paradise began January 1st 2011 when singer/songwriter/pianist Margarita Monet and guitarist/Songwriter Dave Bates joined forces to form a metal band, signified with virtuosic musical skill.
The sound is a melodic fusion of heavy guitars, powerful vocals, exhilarating keyboards and impeccably grooving rhythms.

Edge Of Paradise is about living on the edge, the life that's being portrayed as paradise is really an unstable existence that can tip you off the edge and out of existence. We all exist here, but few of us ever reach paradise.

Considering that the band is very young, some of the original songs have longer history. Dave Bates was the co founder with Robin McCauley (MSG, Survivor) of the former band "Bleed".

After releasing a CD the band headlined around LA, but due to Robin’s demanding schedule “Bleed’s” ability to tour was limited which led the band to its current line up.

Margarita Monet - singer / songwriter / pianist, Dave Bates - guitarist / songwriter, Kevin Katich- drums/back vocals, Steven Cook - bass / back vocals.

The Evolution of the songs led to the band's sharp, modern sound. Their debut album MASK will be released in July featuring some of the acclaimed musicians; including, Gregg Bissonnette on drums, Tony Franklin and Bjorn Englen on bass.
Edge Of Paradise has expanded its repertoire of original songs and is concentrating on worldwide touring and releasing the best possible music.
