Our Take
Our Take
Paradise Lost takes us on a journey to the depths of despair with their latest offering, Obsidian. The album is a brooding masterpiece that showcases the band's ability to craft dark, atmospheric melodies that linger long after the final note has faded.
Lead singer Nick Holmes' haunting vocals are a standout feature on the album, offering a sense of melancholy that is almost palpable. The lyrics delve into themes of loss, heartache, and inner turmoil, creating a sense of unease that is both haunting and cathartic.
The instrumentation on Obsidian is top-notch, with crushing riffs and thundering drums that build a sense of tension and anticipation throughout the album. The band's trademark blend of gothic metal and doom is on full display here, with each track drawing the listener further into Paradise Lost's dark, moody world.
Standout tracks include the epic opener "Darker Thoughts," the haunting "Ghosts," and the atmospheric closer "Ravenghast." Each song is a masterclass in atmosphere and emotion, with the band expertly weaving together elements of beauty and brutality.
Obsidian is a triumph for Paradise Lost, showcasing a band at the height of their powers and unafraid to explore the darkest corners of the human psyche. Fans of gothic metal and doom will find much to love in this album, a true masterpiece of the genre.

About the artist
Paradise Lost
PARADISE LOST - Gothic Metal Titans Hailing from Halifax, West Yorkshire, PARADISE LOST have been pioneering the gothic metal genre since the late 1980s. These lads have been through more ups and downs than a rollercoaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, but their unwavering dedication to their craft has solidified their status as legends in the metal scene. Frontman Nick Holmes is the ultimate dark angel, with a voice that can make even the most stoic listener shed a tear. Guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy bring the riffs like a double shot of espresso on a Monday morning, while bassist Steve Edmondson and drummer Waltteri Väyrynen hold down the fort with precision and power. Their discography reads like a gothic novel, with albums like "Draconian Times" and "Icon" serving as essential chapters in the book of heavy metal history. With lyrics that explore love, loss, and the darker side of humanity, PARADISE LOST are as poetic as they are pulverizing. Whether you're a diehard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that PARADISE LOST have had on the metal world. So grab your leather jacket, slip on your shades, and let these Yorkshire lads take you on a journey through the shadows of the human soul. Just don't blame us if you end up wanting to dye your hair black and start a coven - blame it on the haunting melodies of PARADISE LOST.
