33 years after their inception, England’s PARADISE
LOST are not only one of the most influential metal
bands in the world and founders of the gothic metal
genre, but also among the most varied acts. From death
and doom to catchy synth pop hymns, the quintet from
Yorkshire never hesitated to cross boundaries and yet
always stayed true to themselves.
After a spectacular #2 spot in the German album charts
with their latest chef-d’oeuvre ‘Obsidian’, the band now
unveils a live album consisting of 16 tracks that cover
nearly every style and big hit from their 3-decade-long
career.
Captured at The Mill Nightclub near the band’s hometown
in Yorkshire, England, the recording of the BluRay
was directed by Ash Pears, who previously worked
with the band on their music videos for ‘Medusa’ and
‘Obsidian’. Mixed by Les Smith and mastered by Jaime
Gomez Arellano, the audio version of the show will be
available as vinyl and CD.
“Due to the ban on live music, we, like many other
bands, have had to adapt and do something we never
thought we’d have to do”, reflects guitarist and songwriter
Greg Mackintosh. “No, not stacking shelves in
Aldi like Metallica, but playing a show at a disused mill
in Yorkshire with no one else there. We decided against
trying to pretend there was an audience in the room with
us, opting instead for a rather moribund version of a
live lounge show. Whilst never being pleased with anything,
we were however slightly less miserable at the
result. It was also almost fun playing some of our new
album Obsidian within the set for the first time too. We
can now announce that we will be releasing this show as
an official CD/Blu-Ray and vinyl imaginatively entitled
At the Mill.”
