Paradise Lost - New Album On The Way
Paradise Lost - New Album On The Way

Gothic metallers Paradise Lost are currently preparing the recordings for their highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's extremely successful "In Requiem".

Vocalist Nick Holmes comments as follows:

"The album as yet untitled will feature around 10 tracks, among the titles are "First Light", "As Horizons End", "Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us", "Frailty" & "My Last Regret" - these are subject to change without notice!

We are very happy with Rhys Fulbers work on the last album "In Requiem", but after working on 3 albums together we decided it was time to go for a different approach. After hearing the work he did with our "Anatomy Of Melancholy" Live DVD we decided that Jens Bogren was the man for the job. In February we will venture to Sweden to begin recording the album in Fascination Street Studios, Örebro, Sweden.

There is no full time replacement for Jeff as yet, but as far as the album is concerned, the drum stool will be occupied by another Swede - Peter Damin. Sweden hails some of the best metal musicians in the world and Peter is no exception, we really look forward to working with him and his input on the album.

Our approach this time has leaned even more towards the heavier side of things, even more so than the last. It is vital not to loose touch with our musical trip over the last 20 years. Our music may have had different facelifts, but it has always been "dark" and the new album will be no exception. Musically and lyrically.

Writing a new album is always exciting, we never get bored of writing music, and for me, it is the best part of being in a band. Each album is like a challenge to better ourselves, or at the very least, do something that's different to everyone else. We strive to make the ultimate modern Gothic Metal album, and for me that has nothing to do with the common trend of "romance" & "roses". It should be music to be murdered by."

Great News! 'Faith divides us, death unites us' is a killertitle for a song.

I agree... that's what Gothic is all about.

I hope this gonna be a good album... I didn't get the good feeling with the last two... Those albums were good but not brilliant.

We'll see about that after hearing them, won't we

Just like we have to await what is meant by "towards the heavier side of things, even more so than the last". Other than that, good news, bring it on!

Looking forward indeed! Jens Bogren has been working with bands like Amon Amarth and Bloodbath. This will surely be interesting.

Last two albums were masterpieces! And this new one will be also for sure! Paradise Lost almost never disappoints!

Same here. In Requiem was an amazing album, a nice turnpoint from the whole electro era.

They were good... But not outstanding IMO. And it didn't feel inspired at all. But that's a matter of opinion of course.

I even dare to say that Host kick the shit out of the last two albums...

It can get a bit monotone after a while, yes.

Paradise Lost is a great band. I will be looking forward to this album. The song titles are sweet as well.

"Host" is the low point of Paradise Lost discography! Matter of opinion.

If you see it as a metal album.. that's pretty obvious.
But they put some passion on it... And doing that for a genre as techo or dark wave... is a huge thing IMO.

The last two were just boring... And this comes from a Paradise Lost's fan.
Marcel Hubregtse - 19.12.2008 at 01:22  
I hope this will be much more interesting than their last two which were actually quite crap boring and immensely overrated. Tbh Pardise Lost haven't done a single good album after Draconian Times. And what's worse, live they suck nowadays as well, especially when they TRY to play old songs.

The real Paradise Lost fan cannot ever write such thing like "last two were just boring". Not in a million years! Ask yourself - do I really love Paradise Lost?
And "Host" was just average album - no matter if he's metal or not.

I am not a fan of their newer works that's true. And why should I be? But I am general fan of Paradise Lost nonetheless, just not a fanboy like quite a few people here.

I didn't know you have the rights to say who is a fan or not... are you the president of PL's fanclub? And even if you were you still don't have any rights to say that... Your opinion is just subjective. You're funny

The albums are just boring yet not crap.

I just hope this guys can return and play stuff like Shades of God or Icon.

I have seen that dvd and it was quite a waste of my time. And I have seen them live over the last couple of years quite a few times and every single time it was average at best.

The self-titled song and 'as horizons end' are amazing.
especially riffs in 'as horizons end' remind me of ICON.
