This record serves as the band’s response to emerging music trends, notably the grunge scene. Following their hiatus in the autumn of 1992, they managed to avoid producing any awkward grunge-influenced albums, unlike many significant thrash bands of that era. This consistent adherence to their unique style sets Prestige apart.

For the production of the album, the band chose a new studio and a different producer as for their previous releases. This time produced by Jani Viitanen and Prestige, “Parasites In Paradise” was recorded in July/August 1991 at Harasoo-Studio. They paid careful attention to both the songs and the production, spending more time in the studio than ever before; roughly three weeks in total.

If you appreciate high-speed thrash with attitude and no compromises, this album is a must-listen for you!
