Los Angeles based cinematic hard rockers EDGE OF PARADISE are preparing to unleash their epic sixth studio album and Napalm Records debut, Prophecy, arriving this Friday, March 7, 2025. Today, they unveil "Give It To Me (Mind Assassin)", their ferocious fourth single featuring Ben V. of industrial goth outfit Ludovico Technique.

"Give It To Me (Mind Assassin)" opens with some of the record's most menacing riffage, pummeling listeners with slamming chugs as siren synths blare in the distance, communicating something awry. Always one to inspire discussion with her lyrics, enigmatic frontwoman Margarita Monet explores the possibility of human thought fusing with machine learning, and whether the benefits of such a biomechanical union are even worth it.

Monet says about "Give It To Me (Mind Assassin)":
"This high-energy, explosive track embodies the ultimate showdown between the human mind and artificial intelligence. An intense battle for the soul, where the fight against digital manipulation becomes a quest for true connection and self-discovery amid the chaos of an increasingly controlled existence.

"We're heading towards a world where we could intertwine with artificial intelligence, redefine reality and possibly unlock limitless potential for ourselves—but what would be the price to pay?"

Prophecy kicks off in explosive fashion with opening track "Death Note", a bombastic crash through apathetic walls encouraging listeners to break free from their technological isolation, and embrace connection with others over numb comfort alone. "Give It To Me (Mind Assassin)", cranks up the intensity with an irresistible driving pulse propelled even further by an infectiously dancy chorus. A raucous fight for authenticity and self-realization, "Prophecy Unbound" careens through claustrophobically tight riffage, blossoming into a lush and cathartic belt-along chorus. The winding serpentine melodies of "Falling Light" explode with Monet's venomous soaring vocals, dancing around ethereal synth textures, enveloping listeners in a sonic gothic cathedral. Released earlier this year, lead single "Rogue (Aim For The Kill)", is a full throttle industrial rock track about perseverance in the face of seeming unbeatable adversity. "The Other Side of Fear" is an energized rager built on pulsating dance beats and features a standout guitar solo from composer and commander in shred Dave Bates. Prophecy takes a stand against indifference, encouraging listeners to go outside, cry, and embrace all the uncomfortable parts of life that make us human, before apathetic comfort, driven by addictive algorithms bring about our demise.

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 incorporated for the first time, 8-string guitars, Prophecy packs extreme firepower for EDGE OF PARADISE's most intense voyage yet.
