UK metallers Paradise Lost have posted online a new song, "As Horizons End", on their MySpace page.

"As Horizons End" comes off the band's forthcoming album, entitled "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us", which will be released on September 28 in Europe (October 6 in the US) via Century Media Records.

Nick Holmes comments: "This song is about someone who's on a downward spiral. Working too hard and trying to claw back some positive spirit by participating in all the so called joyous occasions in life, socialising and networking but to no avail, the long days have crushed the soul till only disappointment and cynicism remains. This song was inspired by the thousands of dishevelled looking middle aged businessmen I see in airports each year. This track has had a dozen face lifts since its inception and in true fashion, it was never intended to be the first track. Once it was mixed though it was hard to imagine any other song opening the album."

Gregor Mackintosh adds: "The whole point to this song was to capture a feeling of foreboding. Like when a thunderstorm is approaching. All the chord progressions are supposed to give an ominous sense of dread. The mid section lulls you into thinking that you're safe only to discover there is much bigger storm on the horizon."

'Can't really say much about this for it's the opening track. Could be cool or bad record. Basic guitars were nice but mackintosh's guitars didn't really inspire of any storm. One more thing: What's going on with Nick's singing?

If the rest of the album is gonna be like this it will be their best since Draconian Times, and finally an album of theirs I can enjoy again. It really does remnd me of Draconian Times at parts due to Nick's vocals.

Heavy, dark and the vocals that reminds me of the old paradise lost. the whole atmosphere makes me want to hear what comes next. After all these years, I trust these guys and their musical ideas.
