However, what earns Draconian Times the number one spot here is that every second of it is ceaselessly, persistently memorable.
- Gothic (1991) After Lost Paradise introduced Paradise Lost’s characteristics, this follow-up focussed more clearly on them to define the parameters of the death-doom subgenre.
- Shades Of God (1992) Shades Of God was the first indication that one soundscape would never be big enough for Paradise Lost, as it pushed the band into thrash, goth and even prog territory.
- Obsidian (2020) Obsidian feels like the album Paradise Lost were building up to for their entire career. Everything that’s ever given them their appeal returns during these nine songs.
Paradise Lost have crafted a varied and smooth working setlist for this concert, featuring tracks from many of their (at this point) 16 full-length studio albums.
As of 2005, Paradise Lost have sold over two million albums worldwide. [ 11 ] Their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Nick Holmes , guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson.
- Lost Paradise (1990) This is where the band created the foundations of the death-doom style. Riffs grind and crawl like a re-animated cadaver released from death’s slumber and Nick Holmes sounds like a demon unleashed.
- Gothic (1991) The album that built upon Celtic Frost’s Into the Pandemonium to invent a new sub-genre known as goth metal. Here the band hired female vocalist, Sarah Marrion, to add her haunting lullabies to a savage mix of grimy doom metal and death metal nastiness.
- Shades of God (1992) How to follow a genre defining album? Take the ambience of Gothic and meld it with Black Sabbath and Trouble. This is PL’s Master of Reality, where the riff is king, and Gregor Mackintosh is its willing servant.
- Icon (1993) The album that broke them in Germany, entering the charts at number 31. Not bad for a band that started off as an evil sounding death-doom band only five years earlier.
