PARADISE LOST

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: ENG
Style: gothic atmospheric doom death metal

recording this phenomenal opus of atmospheric doom/death metal in early 1991, the legendary British squad most probably had no idea of laying foundation for gothic subgenre in dark music - universally considered a defining record, it has set the trend for the next decade to come, putting emphasis on melancholy of still rigid form of extremity, with the introduction of distinctive and unmistakable lead guitar melodies and presentation of female vocals, courtesy of Sarah Marrion, juxtaposing rough and sorrowful pitch of Nick Holmes; recent British re-issue comes with a remastered sound, and Rotting Misery plus Breeding Fear remixes from Gothic EP as bonus
