Paranoia Church, genre-defying project of Brazilian guitar player Bruno Rios, unveils its debut album, Till The Wolves Come Home. Fusing traditional metal, alternative, and prog rock, the record delves into the darker corners of the human psyche through eight cinematic tales that journey through manipulation, fear, obsession, trauma, guilt, betrayal, identity, and oblivion.
For Till The Wolves Come Home, the Church summons a high clergy featuring singers Berzan Önen (Black Water Sunset; Crypted Roots), Tasos Lazaris (One Machine; Fortress Under Siege), Valeriano De Zordo (Agarthic; Stargenesis), Carolina Padrón (Tribus; Under Silence), Giorg¡a (Bookish Songs Collective), and Samtar. On drums are Fabio Alessandrini (Annihilator; Bonfire; Enforcer; Hardline; Rhapsody), Fabián Troya (Wishfor; Ely y las Luciérnagas), and Rômulo Castro Filho (In The Shadows; Frozen Fire; Somberlain).
Other guest musicians include guitar players Rod Rodrigues, Victor Gueiros, Eduardo Gueiros (Walking Back To Hell), and Tiago Rezakk (Steel Fox); trumpeter Kelly O’Donohue, saxophonist Kevon Scott, and keyboard player Michael Berry.
Based in Toronto, Canada, Bruno hails from Fortaleza, Brazil, where he was active in the underground scene since 1998. With his former band, Walking Back to Hell, he released an EP in 2007 and shared the stage with names like power-prog legends Angra.
In August 2023, Bruno spawned Paranoia Church, a midlife crisis, one-man studio project drawing on influences ranging from Mercyful Fate to Tears For Fears, with detours through Marillion, Annihilator and Type O Negative. Paranoia Church’s debut album, Till The Wolves Come Home, out on August 8, 2025, via Neptune Must Die! Records, across all your least-hated streaming platforms, with limited CD and vinyl copies available on Bandcamp.

![The Legendary US Hard Rockers Silk Helvetika Is Back - An Interview With Michael Myers
#SilkHelvetika #hardrock #usa
One of the heaviest bands to emerge from the Philadelphia rock scene is Slik Helvetika. From the glory days of the Philadelphia and New Jersey rock scene of the 80s that spawned Cinderella, Britny Fox, Pretty Poison, John Eddie, and an entire laundry list of artists who went forward to be stars, there was a band called Destroyer. Led by Michael Myers, the band had unknowingly sidestepped all the woes and pressures of being “that commodity” and unwanted influences. Taking some time to let the songs and playing develop to be the best it could resulted in that band today called Slik Helvetika. Lots of driving energy, melody, memorable chorus hooks, great playing and strong lyrics.
The line up has always featured Michael Myers on lead guitar and vocals – who has had the privilege of playing alongside a variety of talented musicians, such as Kjell Benner [formerly of Quiet Riot] and Vern Parsons [Greg Howe]. The newest full release, Walk Through Fire, which drops through Deko Entertainment on February 20th, kicks off with the first single that was released in December Solar Head. Which, begins with an unsettling actual recording of solar wind, then erupts into full ass kicking mode.
