Paradise Lost - initally one of the premier death/doom bands (along with their former labelmates Anathema and My Dying Bride) that later incorporated electronic elements in their music. They formed in 1988 in Halifax, UK. Along with bands like Dream Death, Sempiternal Deathreign, Asphyx, Winter etc… they are also credited for helping develop the subgenre known as “gothic” metal.
Ironically, the band is almost unknown in their home country, but in mainland Europe they have been extremely popular for many years, especially in Greece, Germany and Bulgaria, where they are regarded as mainstream rock stars. Although they have also been partially attributable for pioneering gothic metal, throughout their career the band have also confounded fans and critics alike with their perpetual taste for reinvention and experimentation, a desire to work with producers from other musical genres, and an oft-stated refusal to repeat themselves for fear of stagnation.
For instance, vocalist Nick Holmes used a muddy sounding grunt-style of singing in the band’s early duration (Lost Paradise (1990), Gothic (1991)); Upon the release of Shades Of God (1992), Icon (1993) and Draconian Times (1995), he refined his voice to a cleaner tone almost akin to James Hetfield of Metallica; And on One Second (1997), which was distributed by hip hop label Jive Records, the band experimented with Depeche Mode-styled synth pop and electronica.

Yeah, they only played 75 minutes on Sunday too. And Ghost Brigade were pretty boring. But Samael and Paradise Lost kicked ass. If they onlyahd dropped Ghost Brigade so that the good bands could have played longer...

What's gay is when people who only listen to metal refer to any non-metal band as gay.

Lev_Stepanov, you sir, are stupid. Radiohead is awesome. They are all men. So are members of Paradise Lost, but they are also metal, which Radiohead isn't. That doesn't make them better or less gay.. Both bands are awesome.
