Edge Of Paradise have unveiled a striking new video for the "Martyr (Monster)" track, taken from their latest album Prophecy, released last March via Napalm Records. Delving deeper into the band's immersive sci‑fi universe, the narrative‑driven visual features the first on‑screen performance of new keyboardist Alex Nasla, and a second act that reimagines the track as an instrumental, expanding its musical scope beyond its original album version. This instrumental reinterpretation arrives alongside the release of Hologram and Slaves to Forever, the band's graphic novel and forthcoming audiobook, further heightening the emotional themes of consciousness, control, and humanity in an increasingly digital world. Edge Of Paradise continue to channel their inner William Gibson, inviting fans deeper into their confrontational dystopia.
Frontwoman Margarita Monet comments on the new video and expanded track: "This song is about realising you can either surrender to the system that shapes you or reclaim your own identity. Perspective decides whether you're seen as a martyr or a monster, I believe both live within us. But the power lies in choosing which one you allow to define your reality. The video expands that idea visually, exploring fractured possibilities, perspective, and what it means to stay human in an increasingly artificial and controlled world".
Monet also speaks about welcoming Alex Nasla into the fold: "We are also very excited to welcome Alex Nasla to the band, as he extends the cinematic sound even more! In the song, each member carries a moment that pushes the story forward. Alex Nasla's keyboard solo marks the beginning of a shift, and in the instrumental version they explode into something far more expansive, like stepping into a larger reality. Doug Weiand's solo brings vulnerability and tension, and then Dave Bate's lead hits with intensity and resolve. Anchored by the drive of Jamie Moreno and Kenny Lockwood, the song follows the same arc as its message, evolution through choice..."
Fresh from several North American tours supporting labelmates Delain and Xandria, as well as Japanese metal sensation Lovebites, the band now launch the video amidst a run of international festival appearances. Upcoming dates include headline performances on 7 February at Fire It Up Festival in Garden Grove, CA, and 17 April at Hyperspace Metal Fest in Vancouver, BC, along with a slot at Rock in Rautheim in Braunschweig, Germany. More live dates will be announced soon.
