Background information über 'Paradise Lost (Reissue)'

When Cirith Ungol unleashed "Paradise Lost" in 1991, they delivered what many consider their most focused and devastating statement. This album marked a crucial turning point for the Ventura metal legends, showcasing a more refined yet equally punishing approach to their signature blend of doom-laden heavy metal. The record captures the band at their creative peak, with Tim Baker's soaring vocals cutting through the dense, atmospheric arrangements like a blade through shadow. Each track builds upon themes of struggle and redemption, wrapped in the band's trademark mystical imagery that draws heavily from fantasy literature and dark romanticism.

The production on "Paradise Lost" strikes that perfect balance between raw power and clarity, allowing every crushing riff and thunderous drum hit to resonate with maximum impact. Greg Lindstrom's guitar work is particularly noteworthy here, weaving intricate melodies through walls of distortion while maintaining the epic scope that made Cirith Ungol legendary among the underground metal faithful. This 2025 reissue from the 2016 remaster ensures that new generations of metalheads can experience this masterpiece in all its glory, complete with enhanced packaging that does justice to the album's enduring legacy.

For fans of: Manilla Road, Pagan Altar, Solitude Aeturnus, Candlemass, and Trouble
