Paradise Lost announce new album ‘Obsidian’

PARADISE LOST have announced a new album!

Titled Obsidian, the upcoming album from the Gothic metal legends is their 16th full-length studio effort and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The upcoming album eschews its immediate predecessors’ gruesome, myopic approach in favour of a richer and more dynamic deluge of black shades. From the deceptive elegance and dual atmospheres of opener Darker Thoughts through to the crushing, baroque doom of war-torn closer Ravenghast, Obsidian reveals a band in masterful control of a broad array of vital ideas. Most noticeably, the record boasts several songs that draw heavily from the much-loved, Kohl-encrusted days of ‘80s gothic rock.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Nick Holmes says, “one of the most eclectic albums we have done in some time, we have miserable songs, sad songs, slow songs and faster songs. Did I mention miserable?”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, you can view both the track list and artwork for the upcoming album. Both of which are available to view below:
