Paradise Lost detail new album 2020-03-13 by dynamic range police | 18 Comments | British gothic metal peers Paradise Lost set May 15th as the release date for their sixteenth full-length record, called Obsidian.
On their Facebook page the band said:
The sixteenth PARADISE LOST studio album, "Obsidian" eschews its immediate predecessors’ gruesome, myopic approach in favour of a richer and more dynamic deluge of black shades. From the deceptive elegance and dual atmospheres of opener 'Darker Thoughts' through to the crushing, baroque doom of war-torn closer 'Ravenghast'; "Obsidian" reveals a band in masterful control of a broad array of vital ideas. Most noticeably, the record boasts several songs that draw heavily from the much-loved, Kohl-encrusted days of ‘80s gothic rock: in particular, newly-minted PARADISE LOST anthem 'Ghosts' is a guaranteed dancefloor-filler at any discerning goth nightclub.
"It's 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?" - Nick Holmes.
More info to follow... In the meantime enjoy this small teaser...

1. Darker Thoughts
2. Fall From Grace
3. Ghosts
4. The Devil Embraced

Very interesting, I've been waiting for Paradise Lost to tread on post punk/gothic rock since Tragic Illusion 25.

Looking forward to hearing this, I'm glad they're branching out a bit. As good as their recent material has been they were really milking it for all it's worth and another record in that style would likely have sounded very stagnant and forgettable.

Hell yes. I'll definitely be getting this.
| | |
Cannot wait.

"in favour of a richer and more dynamic deluge of black shades."
16 albums is an impressive achievement for a bunch of edgy 14 year olds.

These guys are forever one of my favorites, hyped AF for this new record.
| | |
Also I'm glad to hear they're getting more experimental with this, because they kinds hit a wall with their last record, hope it brings back some of those late 90's PL-vibes.

They going back to Depeche Mode Lost then? That may explain why they reissued Host and Believe In Nothing recently.
| | |
There's a new teaser, single Fall From Grace drops tomorrow.
