Since their conception in 1988, PARADISE LOST have not only founded the genre gothic metal with 1991’s “Gothic”, but also diligently defined and daringly transcended it. From the crawling, harrowing doom of their debut “Lost Paradise” (1990) to the electronic sounds of “One Second” (1997) over to the dark rocking punch of “Paradise Lost” (2005), the band’s entire career has been accompanied by the desire to evolve and stay ahead of musical trends and fashions.
