Imagine, if you will, a combination of British hard rock from the 70´s and American AOR performed by a blues vocalist who sings from the soul with four outstanding musicians laying down the musical framework. This is what Snakes In Paradise are and their sound is a result of years of songwriting with one intention in mind: to astound everyone.
Strong melodies and refrains that will stick forever in your head and a rock ‘n roll attitude are the ingredients that brought the band to the attention of the fans in 1993 when they released their self-titled debut album produced by the late Brett Walker. The band’s second album, “Garden of Eden” followed in 1999, an album whose sound was inspired by Whitesnake’s more universally popular material.
After the release of “Dangerous Love” in 2002, the band sadly called it a day.
Singer Stefan Berggren wound up working with Company of Snakes (a band formed by former Whitesnake members Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, and Neil Murray), Lee Kerslake (ex-Uriah Heep, Ozzy Osbourne), and Razorback, until the band members reconvened in 2016 after a Swedish promoter asked them to play a show at the Rockweekend Festival in Stockholm. Soon after, the band was connected with Frontiers who signed the band for the release of a highly anticipated comeback album.
“Step Into The Light” finally arrives in 2018.
