So here's a story that makes a lot of sense- Paradise Lost will be dropping a new record in April 2015 and it'll be a death metal record. Why does this make so much, you ask? Mainly because vocalist Nick Holmes has been in super death metal mode with Bloodbath for the past year.
According to their Facebook, the group will be hitting up Orgone Studios with Jamie Gomez Arallano (Ghost, Ulver, Cathdral, etc.).
"Our approach on this album is quite different and embraces the band’s VERY early days, with the last few years. We have written a very dark, yet melodic album – but this time many songs definitely have a death metal edge, which is something we haven’t done for a long, long time in Paradise Lost…
The album is set to be released via Century Media Records in late April 2015."
I'm game. Holmes proved himself worthy in Bloodbath and old-school Paradise Lost proves the group can bring it. 2015 is shaping up to be just as exciting as this year was!
