"Paradise (Kill the Silence)" is a song by Japanese rock band Coldrain. It was promoted as a single but was instead released as an extended play with five other versions of the same song. This would also make it the fourth EP released by the band, the first since 2014's Japanese exclusive Until the End. It was written by frontman Masato Hayakawa and lead guitarist Ryo Yokochi, and produced by Michael Baskette. It was released as the lead single from their seventh studio album Nonnegative on 17 September 2021.[1][2] The track became an instant radio hit in both Japan and Germany.

On 28 January 2022, the band released an official live music video of "Paradise (Kill the Silence)" onto YouTube from their final ever live performance played at the Usen Studio Coast in Tokyo, Japan on 16 November 2021.[3]

The band performs "Paradise (Kill the Silence)" during the Japanese TV advert for New Balance's MET24 collection, entitled "METropolitan 24 Hour Survival Game".[4]
