Background information über 'Obsidian'

Paradise Lost returns with their fifteenth studio offering, and what a triumphant statement it is! "Obsidian" finds the Halifax legends diving deeper into their gothic metal mastery, crafting an album that feels both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly evolved. The opening track "Darker Thoughts" immediately sets the tone with Nick Holmes' distinctive vocals weaving through crushing riffs that remind you why Paradise Lost helped define an entire genre. Each song unfolds like a chapter in a dark fairy tale, with "Fall From Grace" showcasing the band's ability to balance crushing heaviness with melodic sophistication.

The production on "Obsidian" is absolutely stellar, allowing every element to breathe while maintaining that signature Paradise Lost atmosphere. Tracks like "Ghosts" and "The Devil Embraced" demonstrate the band's songwriting maturity, building tension and release in ways that only come from decades of experience. The album's second half maintains the momentum beautifully, with "Serenity" offering a more contemplative moment before the crushing finale of "Ravenghast". This is Paradise Lost at their most confident and creative.

For fans of:
My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia, Type O Negative, Moonspell
