Paradise Lost Begin Work on New Album

Paradise Lost‘s last couple albums have been melancholy gems. Both 2012’s Tragic Idol and 2009’s Faith Divides Us — Death Unites Us (review here) drew a line to the rawness of the band’s early work without forgetting the brooding sensibility of their later forays, working under a sonic formula that seemed to be consistently developing while holding to a core of strong songcraft resulting in memorable tracks. Good records, in other words. But as the band continues to try to find their place, they seem to be pushing further back into their own breadth of influence, looking toward their deathly beginnings for where to head next.

We’ll look to the PR wire, as ever, for some explanation:

PARADISE LOST begins recording new album

After taking a trip back in time with the Tragic Illusion 25 (The Rarities) album and the last studio album Tragic Idol (2012) — which entered the charts at #2 in UK Rock Charts, #6 in Germany, #15 in Austria, #30 in France and #32 in North America Top New Artists/Heatseeker Charts — it’s now time for PARADISE LOST’s 14th studio album!

The band is about to begin the recording sessions for their highly anticipated 14th studio album with Jaimie Gomez Arellano from Orgone Studios in London (GHOST BC, ULVER, CATHEDRAL, ANGEL WITCH / http://www.orgonestudios.com).

PARADISE LOST’s Nick Holmes (vocals) comments: “We wanted to approach the new album differently this time, by embracing the band’s VERY early days with the last few years. We have written a very dark yet melodic album, but this time many songs definitely have a death metal edge, which is something we haven’t done for a long, long time in PARADISE LOST.”

The new album is tentatively scheduled for a worldwide release via Century Media Records in late April 2015. Stay tuned for more news coming soon!
