Lost Pelgos

Hailed as ‘The European Metallica’, the 1995 masterpiece solidified the British band’s position at the top table of British metal. With some success already in the bag, the band’s rising status allowed them to deliver their most accomplished sound to date, and a collection of songs that are magnificently heavy, but with a cool, gothic sheen. It remains Paradise Lost’s most acclaimed and adored body of work, and era of the band. The CD also sees the band open their vaults and provide a version that comes with an extra disc of bonus and rare, unreleased material from the Draconian Times era. The 25th Anniversary edition features the re-mastered mix of 2011’s Legacy CD. It also comes furnished with new liner notes from journalist and long standing fan Nick Ruskell, a never seen before deep dive into the record’s lyrics and themes from vocalist Nick Holmes, and memories from the band.

Don't be fooled by that average-looking front cover (with some additional, eco-messages saved on), please… Released as early as in 1970 (and still relatively unknown) the only Lost Nation LP included a powerfull dose of the very British influenced progressive rock, reminiscent of still non-existent Beggars Opera (also in vocal department) - with strong influences of early Deep Purple. This very underrated but truly great album was dominated by fairly extensive, 6-7-minute compositions based on the sound of Hammond organ, some tasteful Blackmore-ish guitar parts and very busy drumming. In a sense it's quite unique record because in 1970 not so many US bands played uncompromising and freshly sounding progressive rock!

Triumph & Disaster is a post-apocalyptic view on the collapse of the world told like a children’s story and illustrated through the eyes of a mother and her son as they spend one last day on Earth. The music is the narrative for the destruction and tragedy. The words tell the story of love, loss and letting go.

Last fall, British metal legends PARADISE LOST exorcised the demons and ghosts of a dreary dry spell without concerts and thrilled the world with their stunning livestream "At The Mill". Today, the band is proud to announce the captured testimony of this special night to be relaeased as live album…
