Peaceville Records is celebrating 35 years of Paradise Lost’s debut Lost Paradise with a new limited marble vinyl release on July 18.
Lost Paradise was the band’s debut album, released in 1990, and one of the early highlights in the formative years of Peaceville. Featuring more death metal influences, Paradise Lost created a dark and atmospheric style of death metal as opposed to one based on speed, with the sombre guitar leads of Gregor Mackintosh permeating through the compositions.
Lost Paradise was recorded at the famous Academy Studios (My Dying Bride, Anathema, Cradle of Filth) in Yorkshire, England, and stands as an undeniable classic of UK death/doom metal. This edition of Lost Paradise coincides with the 35th anniversary of the release, and contains remastered audio courtesy of Jaime Gomez at Orgone Studios.

Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire in 1988 and are known for being the founders of the gothic death/doom metal genre; a style fully brought into existence with their genre-defining second album, the highly influential Gothic.
Having released two albums, including Gothic, for the UK’s Peaceville Records and later helping to establish Peaceville as home to the finest trio of UK doom bands (alongside My Dying Bride and Anathema), Paradise Lost then signed with fellow UK label, Music For Nations which eventually led to the band breaking through to mainstream rock and metal audiences as their style evolved, becoming one of the UK’s most essential metal exports around the globe in the process.
