Gothic Metal Pioneers Paradise Lost Return to Prague! The quintet from
Halifax, UK, has been crafting a dark and melancholic soundtrack to human pain,
faith, and despair since the 1990s. With their signature blend of doom-laden
riffs, cold atmospheres, and deep vocals, Paradise Lost have earned the status
of genre legends—constantly evolving yet never losing their soul.
Fronted by the charismatic vocalist Nick Holmes and driven by Greg
Mackintosh’s unmistakable guitar work, Paradise Lost masterfully balance
brutality and beauty, rage and sorrow. Their lyrics often delve into themes of
faith, decay, and human frailty, creating deeply resonant messages for anyone
who seeks more than just sound in music.
On stage, Paradise Lost are a force to be reckoned with—their performances
are intense, hypnotic, and charged with emotion. Whether you favor their early
death/doom era, their experimental electronic phases, or their return to heavier
roots, one thing is certain: Paradise Lost remain a musical institution of
darkness.
Support will come from Italian shapeshifters Messa, who expertly blend doom
metal with elements of jazz, ambient, and Eastern influences, and from German
outfit Lacrimas Profundere, who have been organically merging doom metal with
dark wave since the '90s.
