I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe On New Single “Paradise”: “There’s Something Cool We Did With It”

During an interview with Wall Of Sound, I Prevail vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe discussed the band’s new single “Paradise” (out June 23). According to him, “there’s something cool [the group] did with it.”

Eric Vanlerberghe said the following:

“It’s got some singing. It’s got some screaming. It’s got some special… I don’t wanna give too much away, but there’s something cool we did with it, and I can’t wait for people to hear it. But, yeah, it’s coming up quick, and I’m excited for people to see what we’re cooking.”

He also explained why the track wasn’t featured on their latest album “Violent Nature”:

“Honestly, we wrote it after the record was done. What’s been great about this last few years is, in the past we would tour, tour, tour, and then go, ‘Okay, we’re gonna take some time off and work on a record.’ And the last few years, honestly, having Jon [Eberhard], our bassist, be our producer, we’ve been able to go, ‘All right, let’s start demoing some stuff. Let’s rent a studio and just start working on some stuff.’ We were over in Europe, and, ‘Oh, okay.’ We got a big hotel room. We can just jam in the room for a little bit and start working on ideas and just be more fluid and more creative on the spot rather than go, ‘Okay, we gotta lock down and sit down and work for six weeks to do something.’ So, as soon as ‘Violent Nature’ was out, we were already just keeping the muscle of creativity fresh and continuing writing. And we got stuff that I don’t know if it’ll ever come out, but it’s just fun to create and write and keep that muscle flexing.”
