This career-defining record combines all of their strengths, both in skill and ability to captivate. The production sounds fresh and very stable all over the album, with the instrumentation and vocals changing from track to track. Icon has been highly influential to numerous bands, Opeth and Katatonia to name a few.

It is this hideous creature who Paradise Lost have chosen to be the figurehead for their 15th studio album, as, from a philosophical perspective, she is more than simply a monster. Singer Nick Holmes started his research, intrigued to find greater meaning behind the symbol of Medusa and became particularly fascinated by the Gorgon's nihilistic connotations. 'Attempts to avoid looking into her eyes represent avoiding the ostensibly depressing reality that the universe is meaningless', is an idea that was adopted by American novelist Jack London, and a thought that could have easily emerged from Paradise Lost's lyrics over the past three decades. So abandon hope, all ye who listen here, and celebrate the beauty of ephemerality and nihilism - as long as you still wander on earthly soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31648507265121,"sku":"0727361379728","price":9.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_2064831_jpg.jpg?v=1762829583"},{"product_id":"0727361430801-paradise-lost-host-remastered","title":"Host (Remastered)","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeventh studio album by the British band.

Creators, pioneers \u0026amp; purveyors of the whole Gothic Doom Metal scene which subsequently came to prominence in the early 90's, Britain's Paradise Lost rose from humble Northern roots to become one of the UK's leading artists in the metal genre throughout the decade \u0026amp; beyond, remaining as relevant \u0026amp; revered as ever to this day after a career spanning over three decades. The band's first two albums were released on Peaceville, in the shape of 1990's influential deathly debut 'Lost Paradise', followed up by the more atmosphere-focussed genre classic, 'Gothic' in 1991. 'Live Death' features a band still in their formative years, with an early showcase of their raw potential from Bradford Queens Hall, 1989, in their home county of West Yorkshire, England. From an era of what was still an evolving \u0026amp; blossoming extreme metal scene, Paradise Lost already displayed an advanced maturity to their compositions \u0026amp; a developing style of their own, as the quintet perform a set containing tracks featured on their debut album, the masterpiece of death metal that is 'Lost Paradise', with tracks such as 'Frozen Illusion' \u0026amp; 'Rotting Misery'.

Recorded at The Forum in London, this live set includes a few fan favorite tracks from their extensive back catalogue which rounded out a truly spectacular performance. Are there any highlights? Oh yes. Opening track Enchantment still ranks as one of the best songs this band has penned and the moment when the haunting piano intro gives way to the rest of the band kicking in is a real shiver-down-the-spine moment. Hallowed Land and Forever Failure (complete with Charles Manson intro) sound as powerful and relevant as when they first came out, and the performance of Shadow Kings stands head and shoulders above the original.

The drums and bass work very well as the rhythm section here providing a very good base for the music, and occasionally creating some remarkable moments (intro of \"Never for the Damned\"). The vocals are mostly truly emotional and powerful - even if at a few moments they seem slightly forced - with many great moments, like the chorus of \"The Enemy\", but the soft vocals in \"Your Own Reality\" are also flawless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, \"In Requiem\" is a great example of gothic metal done right - just like it can be expected from the genre, it's dark and heavy, monumental and epic, and also beautiful and melodic - there are many memorable parts here, and it's obvious that it's been created by a band with a lot of experience, but still plenty of ideas and creativity. It's not flawless, but certainly a very strong one and worth recommending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41825689075809,"sku":"0617669419632","price":30.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12769283_1132561_20241012013548.jpg?v=1729007968"},{"product_id":"0840588158812-drown-in-darkness-the-early-demos","title":"Drown in Darkness: The Early Demos","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54825017704822,"sku":"0840588158812","price":27.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_9819884_jpg.jpg?v=1732535179"},{"product_id":"0840588158829-tragic-illusion-25","title":"Tragic Illusion 25","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompilation album of B-sides, covers, bonus tracks and three exclusive songs including the original track 'Loneliness Remains' and two re-recordings of classic songs 'Gothic' and 'Our Saviour'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54825017803126,"sku":"0840588158829","price":26.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_9742523_jpg.jpg?v=1732535179"},{"product_id":"0803341571181-in-requiem","title":"In Requiem","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54827547197814,"sku":"0803341571181","price":13.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_10535403_1_jpg.jpg?v=1732636176"},{"product_id":"0801056723338-lost-paradise-35th-anniversary","title":"Lost Paradise (35th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55626705502582,"sku":"0801056723338","price":9.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13721082_1190539_20250512115710_47ee87a5-2e95-46fa-b075-81968c604be3.jpg?v=1750214443"},{"product_id":"0801056823311-lost-paradise-35th-anniversary","title":"Lost Paradise (35th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55626705797494,"sku":"0801056823311","price":29.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13721088_1190665_20250512115658_e3361858-4f2a-4257-a953-853b736c9835.jpg?v=1750214444"},{"product_id":"4065629687922-ascension","title":"Ascension","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive years after the triumphant 'Obsidian' (#2 in Germany, #4 Switzerland, #5 Austria), British kings of doom'n'gloom are back.
