Our Take

Ah, Paradise Lost. The band whose name perfectly encapsulates the feeling of listening to their latest offering, The Plague Within (Picture Disc). On this album, the British legends delve deep into the dark recesses of their sound, blending elements of gothic metal, doom, and death metal with the finesse of a master chef crafting a morbidly delicious meal.

From the haunting opening track "No Hope in Sight" to the bone-crushing riffs of "Beneath Broken Earth," Paradise Lost take the listener on a journey through despair, misery, and unrelenting heaviness. Nick Holmes' vocals soar and growl in equal measure, serving as a reminder of why he is considered one of metal's most iconic frontmen.

The production on The Plague Within is top-notch, with each instrument cutting through the mix like a knife through butter. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with every member contributing to the overall mood and atmosphere of the album.

Where Paradise Lost truly shine, however, is in their ability to make even the bleakest of subjects sound utterly captivating. Tracks like "Flesh from Bone" and "Cry Out" showcase the band's songwriting prowess, with hook-laden choruses and infectious melodies that will stick in your head for days.

In conclusion, The Plague Within is a testament to Paradise Lost's enduring legacy in the metal scene. It's a dark and brooding masterpiece that will satisfy fans old and new, and prove once again why they are one of the most influential bands in British music history. Sit back, crank up the volume, and let the darkness consume you.

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.
