Five years after the triumphant “Obsidian” British kings of doom’n’gloom are back! Blending Metallica-esque riffage, Type-O heaviness, & Nick Holmes’ vocals between Gahan, Eldritch & death growl, PARADISE LOST & their new album “Ascension” are a shining example that some bands get better with age!

More than three decades into their career, & with over two million albums sold, Paradise Lost remain the undisputed kings of metal’s dark side.

Never a group to remain creatively static, across their career they’ve explored a myriad of avenues of dark music, from sludgy doom-death roots, to conquering the metal mainstream with the enormous, lush sounds of 1995’s Draconian Times, to more experimental, electronic leanings, leaving an influence on a trail of artists as varied as Cradle Of Filth, HIM, Gatecreeper and Chelsea Wolfe.

Now, in 2025, the Yorkshire quintet return with their staggering 17th album, Ascension, a record that sees their crown continue to gleam as it underlines just how they attained their position.
