Paradise Lost are an English gothic metal band that formed in 1988 in Halifax. Often cited as one of the Peaceville Three alongside My Dying Bride and Anathema, Paradise Lost were actually the shortest tenured band on the label, only releasing two albums before moving to Music For Nations in 1992.[1] Paradise Lost are considered by some to be a pioneer of the death-doom genre[2] and regarded as the main influence for the later gothic metal movement.[3] Bands that have cited Paradise Lost as an influence, or have covered them, include My Dying Bride, Anathema, The Gathering,[4] Amorphis,[5] Cradle of Filth,[6] Katatonia,[7] Moonspell,[8] Lacuna Coil, HIM, Nightwish[9] and many others.
Despite a long-standing career, their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Nick Holmes, guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. Holmes and Mackintosh are the principal composers, with almost all of the band's songs credited to them. During the years, the band has only changed drummers. To date Paradise Lost have released sixteen studio albums along with selling well over two million albums worldwide as of 2005.[10]
The band shares their name with an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674).
History[]
Formation, Lost Paradise and Gothic (1988 - 1991)[]
Paradise Lost would form on 26 March 1988. They wrote a song, "Blood Filled Eyes", at that first rehearsal, which was never recorded.Later the band would record three demos in Morbid Existence, Paradise Lost and Frozen Illusion before signing with Peaceville Records in 1989. Recording a debut album at Academy Studios in December that year, their debut album Lost Paradise would see release on 5 February 1990, establishing an early death/doom sound.[11][12]
In November 1990, Paradise Lost returned to Academy Music Studio to record their second album, Gothic, which was released in March 1991. The band began to move away from the death/doom sound of their previous releases by adding keyboards and female vocal accompaniments.[13] Gothic has since been regarded as an important album in the development of gothic metal and death/doom, inducted in the Decibel Hall of Fame in 2005[14] and attaining retroactive praise in the years since it's release.[15][16][17]
Shades of God, Icon and Draconian Times (1992 - 1996)[]
Paradise Lost left Peaceville and would sign with Music for Nations label. Recording in the Spring at Longhome Studios in Northamptonshire, Shades of God on 14 July 1992.[18] The band's musical approach continued to evolve with this album as evidenced by the addition of quieter passages in the song's compositions, the softening of vocalist Nick Holmes's death grunt, and Gregor Mackintosh's incorporation of acoustic guitar to his sound.[19] The album contained the song As I Die, later released as a single/EP. The band would also begin touring Europe.[20]
In Summer 1993 the band recorded their fourth album, Icon, released on 28 September, followed by touring North America for the first time. The band continued to develop their sound away from their doom roots and more towards the dynamics and sound of "As I Die" from their previous album. On Icon, Nick Holmes abandoned his death grunt and started using a "James Hetfield-style bark."[21] It was after this album, in December 1994, that original member Matthew Archer quit and was replaced by drummer Lee Morris. Icon would attain retroactive praise and would be inducted into the Decibel Magazine Hall of Fame in February 2018.[22]
The band entered the studio in January 1995 to record their fifth and most successful album, Draconian Times, which was released on 12 June 1995. Mackintosh says about Draconian Times, "that it's the album by which everything else we do gets judged. Rightly so, as it’s the backbone of our career and sound."[23] The album charted in the Top 20 album chart in a number of countries including the UK and Germany.[24][25][26] Paradise Lost would tour South America for the first time in 1995 as part of the Monsters of Rock tour, followed by an extensive tour of Europe and the UK.[27]
Shifting Sound and the EMI Years (1997 - 2001)[]
Following the success of Draconian Times, and after four years of continuous touring, the band began to get bored with their signature sound and started to experiment with Depeche Mode-esque synth-pop and electronica.[28][29] This new direction shaped their next album One Second, released on 14 July 1997 and was most epitomised by the lead single, Say Just Words. Despite the drastic shift in sound the album was not only critically praised and somewhat accepted by fans but also one of the band's most commercially successful releases of their career. Along with peaking at 21 on the UK Official Albums Chart,[30] One Second managed to peak highly in Austria (#10),[31] Germany (#8),[32] Finland (#7)[33] and Sweden (#5).[34]
Paradise Lost would tour Europe with Sundown in support of One Second, followed by touring with Siegmen and Dreadful Shadows the next year. Work would begin on a seventh studio album, recording from September 1998 to February 1999. Signing with German label EMI Electrola, Paradise Lost would release Host on 24 May 1999, a further departure from their sound. Host would feature a sound more akin to a melancholy style of synthpop incorporating downtempo, leftfield, and trance electronic styles. Notably vocalist Nick Holmes would take a cleaner singing approach while guitarist Greg Mackintosh played keyboards instead of guitar due to injuries sustained at the time of recording. Despite risk of further alienating their original audience, especially in the UK where the album peaked at #61,[35] the album peaked highly in Finland (#11)[36] and Germany (#4), the latter being their highest charted album in that country.[37]
Work would begin on an eighth album at several studios between April and September 2000 with producers John Fryer and Greg Brimson. Originally intending for a September release,[38] Believe in Nothing would see release on 26 February 2001 and continued this synth direction but adding rock elements to the music, forcibly by EMI at the time. Despite peaking at #10 on the German charts, Believe in Nothing sold poorly prior to previous works. To support the album Paradise Lost would tour with The Sisters of Mercy among other synth acts throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
Retroactively Nick Holmes would admit in a 2007 interview that "From Host through to Believe in Nothing, we didn't really kind of know where we were going. We were really in a dilemma." while Aaron Eady would retroactively criticize the production of Host.[39] Due to the loss of creative control on Believe in Nothing, Mackintosh said that the album "doesn't really exist for him."[40] here was more negativity of the album when the band's vocalist Nick Holmes was asked by fans of a Q&A session about in general how does the band choose who does the album artwork, Holmes stated "Don’t ask me about the BIN cover, I think we (the band) had our drinks spiked that day!".[41]
Resurfacing Metal sound and GUN Records (2002 - 2005)[]
On 20 February 2002 Paradise Lost would confirm that they would have parted ways with EMI and were in search for a new label.[42] Following negotiations with Universal,[43] Paradise Lost would sign with G.U.N. Records and BMG for a worldwide deal (except in North America where they were signed with Koch Records.) on 14 May 2002.[44] The band would record in the Summer of 2002 with producer Rhys Fulber.[45][46] Originally called Deus,[47] Symbol of Life would be released on 21 October 2002 and cited as a return to the band's gothic metal sound. Along with attaining positive reviews, Symbol of Life would feature guests the likes of Devin Townsend, Jamie Muhoberac and Lee Dorrian.[48]
Paradise Lost would tour Europe and North America to support Symbol of Life,[49][50] On 12 March 2004 it would be announced that Lee Morris would leave the band due to "personal and musical differences".[51] Jeff Singer would take over the drum role as announced on 19 May 2004.[52] Work would begin on a tenth studio album at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, England and at Hollypark Lane in Los Angeles, California, finishing by September.[53]
Cited by Nick Holmes as one of the heaviest albums the band had done in years,[54] the eponymous Paradise Lost would see release on 17 March 2005, peaking at #18 on the German charts,[55] and attaining positive reviews throughout. Paradise Lost would tour Europe extensively in support of their tenth album, including appearances at Bloodstock and Download Festival.[56][57] The band would sign with Century Media for North America and the United Kingdom in the Summer of 2005.[58]
The Century Media Years (2006 - 2015)[]
Following a UK Tour supporting Opeth,[59] Paradise Lost would announce a worldwide deal with Century Media Records on 24 August 2006.[60] Paradise Lost would begin recording their eleventh album in the Fall of 2006 with producer Rhys Fulber at Chapel Studios in London and Strait Sound Studios in Vancouver.[61] Cited by the band as very dark and a in regards to vocals,[62] a return to harsher tones, In Requiem would see release on 21 May 2007. it was generally well-accepted, charted well in six countries[63] and highly rated by both critics and fans, pleased to see the band returning to their heavier, gothic metal sound similar to that of earlier albums like Draconian Times.[64] The full-length was preceded by a single, "The Enemy" and on the single, Singer was finally listed as a permanent band member. In a recent video interview, Mackintosh and Holmes revealed that Singer had already auditioned for the band when Archer left, but they chose Morris instead because Singer "had a pink drumkit."[65]
Paradise Lost would release In Requiem in North America on 5 June 2007,[66] followed by a North American tour with Nightwish in the Fall.[67] 2007 would also see the band supporting Type O Negative for a string of UK dates.[68] In November 2007, Century Media released the DVD Over The Madness, which documents the impact Paradise Lost has had on gothic metal and provides insight into the mindset and workings of Paradise Lost. Disc 2 includes further interviews, rehearsal footage, plus backstage and memorabilia sections.[69]
Following a tour supporting HIM through Europe and festival appearances such as RockHard and Hellfest, on 13 August 2008, drummer Jeff Singer announced his departure from the band on the Paradise Lost official website. He wanted to be with his family, had an upcoming job, and the then-upcoming South American tour would interfere with that. As a result, Paradise Lost had to cancel the South American tour dates that they had planned.[70] Soon after, on 28 August 2008, the Paradise Lost official website announced that the canceled South American tour has been reconfirmed[71] and that Mark Heron from Oceansize would take over on drums. Also of note is two shows curated for the band's 20th anniversary entitled The Unholy Trinity, with Anathema and My Dying Bride as support.[72]
At the beginning of 2009, Paradise Lost recorded an album with producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden. At the time there was no full-time replacement for Jeff Singer and drums were played by Swedish drummer Peter Damin.[73] On 16 March 2009, when recording for the album was already finished, the band recruited Adrian Erlandsson (At the Gates, ex-Cradle of Filth) as a full-time drummer for the band.[74] On 25 May 2009 Paradise Lost would release a collection of the band's earliest demos entitled Drown in Darkness. On 18 June 2009, Paradise Lost officially announced Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us as the title of their album to be released on Century Media Records on 25 September 2009 in Germany, on 28 September 2009 in the rest of Europe and on 6 October 2009 in the US.[75] Paradise Lost would tour Europe with Katatonia and Engel to support Faith Divides Us.[76]
Further touring of Europe would take place through the Winter of 2010, followed by an appearance at a Type O Negative tribute concert in Poland[77] Paradise Lost headlined the Jägermeister Stage at Ozzfest 2010 on 18 September 2010.[78] Notably Paradise Lost would also curate a special tour in the Spring of 2011, performing the entirety of Draconian Times.[79][80]
In late 2011, Paradise Lost began recording its 13th studio album at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire.[81] Tragic Idol would be released on 23 April 2012[82] to mostly positive reviews.[83][84][85] The band would release an outtake from the album sessions entitled The Last Fallen Saviour via Decibel Magazine that April.[86]
Paradise Lost would begin 2012 touring Australia as part of the Soundwave Festival with Cathedral and Turisas among other acts, followed by extensive touring of the United Kingdom and Europe.[87] Adrian Erlandsson was unable to play a few live shows for this album so the band got Jeff Singer again to fill in. Paradise Lost would tour North America with Katatonia for The Epic Kings & Idols Tour in the Fall.[88] Paradise Lost also notably performed some of their songs at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards with Cristina Scabbia on Paradise Lost's song Say Just Words and with Gus G. of a Black Sabbath cover, Into the Void.
On 15 August 2013, the cover and artwork were released for their compilation album of b-sides titled Tragic Illusion 25. From September to October 2014, some of the songs from the album were released, such as a new song entitled Loneliness Remains, and older songs that were remade such as Our Savior 2013 from Lost Paradise and the self-titled song Gothic 2013 from Gothic. The album was released on 5 November 2013.<ref.Blabbermouth</ref>
On 27 October 2013, it was announced that the writing for the 14th studio album will begin after their 25th-anniversary tour and the recording to the album will start in June 2014.[89] On 29 December 2014, it was revealed that The Plague Within would be the title for upcoming album.[90] On 26 January 2015, the release date for 2 June 2015 was announced, along with the producer, Jaimie Gomez Arellano and the recording location of Orgone Studios, London.[91] Speaking to Rock Sins, Nick Holmes stated that the new album would have elements of all previous Paradise Lost material including a return to the death/doom of their early output, stating that "there’s some songs that could’ve been written in 1989, a couple of really old school doom/death songs which are gonna surprise a couple of people when they hear it."[92] The Plague Within is considered by many traditional fans to be their best and most complete album in many years, as well as being a true return to their signature sound.[93]
Paradise Lost would tour with Katatonia and Lacuna Coil in 2013,[94] followed by tours of South America and appearances at several festivals the next year.[95] To support The Plague Within Paradise Lost would tour with Lucifer throughout Europe.[96] On 6 August 2015 it would be announced that Paradise Lost, along with Neurosis, would headline the 2016 edition of Roadburn Festival.[97]
Medusa and Obsidian (2016 - Present)[]
On 14 June 2016 it would be announced that Paradise Lost would sign a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Records.[98] Working with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano in 2016. The band continued their return to a much heavier, more doomier sound. Singer Nick Holmes said "...definitely our heaviest album; the heaviest we’ve done." while Greg Mackintosh the album is "be slower, sludgier and more doom-filled than ever before". He also considered it "eight riff-laden monster tracks of sheer Northern misery".[99][100] Medusa would see release on 1 September 2017, charting well in several countries[101][102][103] and attaining critical acclaim from several publications.[104][105][106][107] Medusa would be ranked well on many end-of-year lists, including being awarded Album of the Year by Decibel Magazine.[108]
In support of the album's release, the band toured Europe during the Fall of 2017, with support from Pallbearer and Sinistro. In December, an Australian tour followed (their first in over six years), while also gradually announcing a UK tour in February, multiple festival slots for the Summer of 2018 and a Central/South American tour in September.[109] 2018 marked the band's 30th anniversary and was celebrated through select dates around UK and mainland Europe, including their first gig in the hometown of Halifax, as well as a South and North American tour with Solstafir and The Atlas Moth.[110] In November 2019, Decibel Books issued the band's authorized biography, No Celebration: The Official Story of Paradise Lost. The book was authored by American journalist David E. Gehlke.[111]
In March 2020, Nuclear Blast announced the release of the group's 16th studio album, Obsidian, on 15 May. Nick Holmes described it as "one of the most eclectic albums we have done in some time, we have miserable songs, sad songs, slow songs and faster songs. Did I mention miserable?". First single, Fall from Grace premiered on 20 March, along with a music video.[112] Obsidian would prove to be the band's highest charting album in both Germany and Finland, both peaking at #2.[113][114] Obsidian would also chart highly at Switzerland (#4),[115] Poland (#5),[116] Austria (#5),[117] Hungary (#8)[118] and #32 in their native UK, the latter being their second highest charting album in the UK right behind One Second.[119]
Obsidian also attained widespread critical acclaim, garnering a 94/100 on Metacritic.[120] Paradise Lost managed to tour Russia to support the album but would be forced to postpone several tours and festival appearances due to The CO-VID19 Pandemic. On 5 November 2020, Paradise Lost would perform for the first time during the Pandemic at The Mill in Bradford, England, albeit as a livestream gig. Notably the band would perform selections from Obsidian for the first time among a wide range of songs spanning their career.[121] Paradise Lost would also notably perform at Bloodstock Open Air circa August 2021, performing the entirety of Draconian Times for the first time since 2011.[122]
