“Fists pump and heads bang… as bleak and cripplingly heavy as in 1991… Nick Holmes’s vocals are full of snarling malevolence.” Louder Than War 
 
“Paradise Lost are still among the greatest and most influential metal bands their country has ever produced.” Rockflesh
 
Paradise Lost remain the undisputed monarchs of metal’s dark frontier. Formed in Halifax in 1988, they quickly carved out their legacy as pioneers of gothic metal; a brooding fusion of crushing heaviness and shadow‑drenched melody.
 
Never content to remain static, the band has spent decades fearlessly exploring every corner of the dark‑music spectrum. From their sludgy doom‑death origins to the towering, cinematic sound that propelled them into the metal mainstream, Paradise Lost’s influence can be heard across generations of artists: from Cradle of Filth and HIM to Gatecreeper and Chelsea Wolfe.
 
Their 2026 shows promise a ferocious, career‑spanning descent into the band’s most iconic moments. Expect early classics from Shades of God and Icon, era‑defining anthems from Draconian Times and One Second, and the blistering resurgence of In Requiem and Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us, all the way through to their most recent triumph, Ascension.
 
It is a masterclass that showcases the full spectrum of Paradise Lost’s legacy, a deep archive of the place they’ve carved into heavy music, performed with an authority and atmosphere that no other band on earth can summon.
 
Paradise Lost are a band so utterly assured in their craft, and so instinctively locked in with one another, that every performance becomes an overwhelming, immersive experience. When they take the stage, the atmosphere shifts; darker, heavier, charged with that unmistakable gothic-metal grandeur they perfected decades ago. Do whatever it takes to witness this machine in full flight when they steamroll Australia this October.
