Stockholm, Sweden-based melodic rock group Snakes In Paradise issued fourth full-length studio album Step Into The Light on September 14th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.
In 2016, the members of Snakes In Paradise reconvened to discuss making more music together. “I started to get more and more questions from journalists about a new Snakes In Paradise album, “ says vocalist Stefan Berggren. “I was also asked to write some songs in the Snakes style by a few different musicans. One of them was Alessandro Del Vecchio, with whom I did an album called Revolution Road (2013). On that album, some of the Snakes guys were guests. The album turned out great and eventually, Snakes started to get lots of show offers. One being from the Rockweekend in Stockholm. After the show, I decided to send one of the songs I wrote to Serafino (Perugino), the president of the Frontiers label. He liked what he heard and offered us a record deal immediately. And here we are.”
Step Into The Light marks the band’s first album in 16 years. “Fans should expect a Snakes In Paradise album with a familiar sound,” continues Berggren. “Not much has changed musically from the first albums, really. Still the same drum kit and same guys playing together. That makes this our signature sound, but perhaps this time a bit beefier and more mature. We are better musicians now and with a little more depth to the songwriting.”
“We always have a special magic when we play and write together,” concludes Stefan. “We poured our hearts into this album and we hope you like it as much as we do. This could be the strongest album of all the albums we have done. We also hope to see the fans on the road some day soon!”
