Paradise Lost
Britanski bend Paradise Lost osnovan je u Halifaxu u Engleskoj 1988. godine. Pjevač Nick Holmes, glavni gitarist Gregor Mackintosh, ritam gitarst Aaron Aedy, basist Steve Edmonson i bubnjar Matthew Archer snimaju demo uratke, „Drown in Darkness“ i „Frozen Illusion“.
Nakon toga potpisuju za diskografsku kuću Peaceville Records koja objavljuje njihov prvi album „Lost Paradise“ početkom 1990. godine. Sljedeći album, „Gothic“ koji je izašao 1991. godine bio je preokret za bend, njegova mračna produkcija i orkestralni elementi odvojili su ih od konkurentskih bendova, uslijedila je i europska turneja koja je dramatično povećala broj obožavatelja benda. Godine 1992. izlazi album „Shades of God“, a 1993. godine album „Icon“ za poznatu metal izdavačku kuću Music For Nations na kojima Paradise Lost prelaze na još mračniji i atmosferičniji zvuk, a bend napušta bubnjar Matthew Archer kojega zamjenjuje Lee Morris.
Uslijedio je album „Draconian Times“ 1995. godine s kojim Paradise Lost dolaze u sam vrh metal scene nastupajući kao headlineri na najvećim metal festivalima poput Dynamo. Dvije godine kasnije izlazi i „One Second“, album koji donosi veliki preobrat jer Paradise Lost s njim uplovljavaju u gothic vode tako proširujući glazbene vidike i povećavajući broj publike, a u isto vrijeme dobivaju sve pohvale kritike. Sa singlom i video spotom „Say Just Words“ dospijevaju na sve službene top liste. Taj album, koji se može nazvati remek djelom, zadržava specifičan Paradise Lost izraz kojemu su dodali The Sisters Of Mercy i Depeche Mode zvuk. Promo turneja s kojom su došli i do Ljubljane bila je više nego uspješna tako da je nastup u Empireu u londonskom Shepherd’s Bushu snimljen i objavljen na DVD-u nazvanom „Evolve“. Na DVD-u se nalazi i koncert „Harmony Braks Live At The Longhorn“ snimljen 1993. godine u Stuttgartu i svi dotadašnji video spotovi.
Godine 1999. Paradise Lost potpisuju ugovor za veću diskografsku kuću EMI i objavljuju album „Host“ koji, iako je odličan, ne prolazi tako dobro kao „One Second“ ponajviše zbog svoje mekane produkcije u kojoj se Paradise Lost još više približavaju Depeche Mode zvuku a zbog čega ne prolazi dobro kod dijela metal publike. S idućim albumom „Believe In Nothing“ iz 2001. godine, Paradise Lost vraćaju se starom zvuku i ujedno objedinjuju zvuk prethodna tri albuma. Istovremeno ugrađuju nove industrial elemente. Sam album producirao je John Fryer koji je producirao i albume Nine Inch Nails, Cradle Of Filth, HIM, Die Krupps i White Zombie. Uslijedila je vrlo uspješna turneja na kojoj su svirali kao posebni gosti velikih The Sisters Of Mercy. Godine 2002. bend je objavio album „Symbol Of Life“ koji je samo potvrdio da su u Europi, posebice Njemačkoj, Francuskoj i Skandinaviji Paradise Lost prava institucija rock scene.
Album iz 2005. godine nazvan je jednostavno „Paradise Lost“ jer je to njihov jubilarni deseti album i nastavlja priču prethodnih s tim da se ponovno primjećuje pogled u prošlost te bi ga mogli opisati kao miks svih dosadašnjih njihovih albuma. Svoj jedanaesti album, „In Requiem“ izdaju u proljeće 2007. Album je općenito dobro prihvaćen i od strane kritičara i od strane obožavatelja jer se bend vraća svom starom zvuku gothic metala kakav se mogao čuti na albumu „Draconian Times“. Na jesen iste godine objavljen je DVD „Over the Madness“, dokumentarac koji govori o utjecaju Paradise Losta na gothic metal i pruža uvid u razmišljanja i djelovanje samog benda. Također uključuje i intervjue, probne snimke i snimke iz backstagea. Dana 13. kolovoza 2008. bubnjar Jeff Singer najavio je svoj odlazak iz benda na službenim web stranicama Paradise Losta. Htio je biti sa svojom obitelji, također se trebao zaposliti, a nadolazeća južnoamerička turneja ometala bi ga u tome. Turneja je morala biti otkazana, no ubrzo su pronašli novog bubnjara, Marka Herona i turneja se mogla nastaviti.
Početkom 2009. godine, Paradise Lost snimio je album s producentom Jensom Bogrenom u Švedskoj. U to vrijeme nisu imali pravu zamjenu za bubnjara pa je na albumu gostovao Peter Damin. Sredinom ožujka, kada je snimanje albuma već dovršeno, u bend dolazi Adrian Erlandsson kao stalni bubnjar. U lipnju je objavljen album „Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us“. Trinaesti studijski album „Tragic Idol“ izdan je u travnju 2012. godine.

Paradise Lost - Erased
Erased
I don't owe anything
I don't owe anyone
Shoot pride for all its worth
I don't belong
In a situation now
That I could not repair
I assert myself to sleep
Show others that I've cared
How cold is this poor life
Lay ashes at my grave
If it takes me away from you
A subtle gesture
I don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
I don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
I don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
I don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
This is erased I promise not a trace
This is erased I promise no delay not a trace
I don't owe anything
I don't owe anyone
Shoot pride for all its worth
I don't belong
In a situation now
That I could not repair
I assert myself to sleep
Show others that I've cared
How cold is this poor life
Lay ashes at my grave
If it takes me away from you
A subtle gesture
I don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
I don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)

Paradise Lost - Solitary One
Solitary One
Love fails to die
Remain survive
It feeds off life
Weary frustration it's not enough
I'm pleading with the Solitary one
In this temptation we're without blood
I'm weakened by a solitary one
Redemption lies
In blood-filled eyes
Weary frustration it's not enough
I'm pleading with the Solitary one
In this damnation we're without blood
I'm weakened by a solitary one
Love fails to die
Remain survive
It feeds off life
Weary frustration it's not enough
I'm pleading with the Solitary one
In this temptation we're without blood
I'm weakened by a solitary one
Redemption lies
In blood-filled eyes
Weary frustration it's not enough
I'm pleading with the Solitary one
In this damnation we're without blood
I'm weakened by a solitary one
Gnothi seauton!

Paradise Lost - Year of Summer
Year of Summer
There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real
They're falling on command
A harsh decision maybe
You're living on remand
Your mind is thinking madness
Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lower your defence as always...
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
My stomach tends to fold
When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration
You've chosen to dismiss as always
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always worse when you are
Sober
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
"this sadness is my own"
There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend
Approach the subject kindly
You've chosen to defend
Those tears are not for real

Much more you could not take
Before you fall on bad days
And lower your defence as always...
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness

When I speak of your name
Accept that you're regretful
Accept that you're not safe
Your life is contradiction
A life that's bruised and torn
I've chosen toleration
You've chosen to dismiss as always
Suddenly demanding, the truth is always worse when you are
Sober
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness
