Paradise Lost have confirmed that Adrian Erlandsson (Cradle Of Filth, The Haunted, At The Gates, Nifelheim, Code) will be their new full-time drummer.

Guitarist Greg Mackintosh comments: "Adrian has been a friend and acquaintance for some time. After calling me to see if the drumming position was still vacant, we quickly arranged for an audition right before entering the studio to record our new album. We knew immediately that he was the man for the job. Playing the songs with him felt very natural. He is the same age as us and from a similar musical background. Unfortunately it was too short notice to play on the new album but everything we do from now on will have Adrian involved. We look forward to rehearsing with him when we leave the studio and to doing our first show with him in Norway on April 10th (Inferno Festival)."

Adrian Erlandsson adds: "Paradise Lost has been one of my favourite bands since I first heard them in 1990. When my fellow Brujeria member Jeff Walker told me that PL were looking for a drummer I got in contact with Greg straight away. After a few chats and emails I was on my way to the audition. I had learnt 10 songs out of their last setlist, but after playing only 4 songs vocalist Nick Holmes said "The job is yours if you want it". Great success!! I look forward to growing even older with the lads and rocking hard with them live!"

Paradise Lost are currently recording the highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's "In Requiem" in Örebro, Sweden with producer Jens Bogren (Katatonia, Amon Amarth).

Great drummer for great band!
Daggon - 17.03.2009 at 00:22  
Oh, this seems like a good choice. Let's see how much time he'll be a member of the band.
Black Conundrum - 17.03.2009 at 04:21  
Come to think of it, he wasn't the most obvious choice, since Adrian Erlandsson from Sweden and Paradise Lost is from the UK. But he seems to be an excellent choice for the band. I couldn't help but smile when I first heard this news.

Yeah this is a nice drummer, but to be honest are PL going to play black or thrash??? at least they'll have great fill-ins etc!!! good news!!!
disarray - 17.03.2009 at 16:06  
Incoming: no black nor thrash. Combining spirit: early '90 death.

Agree. Lot of bands have gotten to their roots recently. The new PL album will very likely be something pre-One Secondish.

You, sir, are truly one of a kind, and the the entire drum whore community is blessed to have you.
