PARADISE LOST Sign Album Contract With Nuclear Blast Records
June 14th, 2016

West Yorkshire-based gothic metal band Paradise Lost have signed an album contract with Nuclear Blast Records, revealing this development on June 14th, 2016.

Vocalist Nick Holmes commented: “Paradise Lost’s career has run alongside Nuclear Blast Records since the label began in the late 80s. And as huge fans of original death metal, we still have the majority of the label’s first releases from those very early days. It’s pretty incredible to see how the label has become a real force in metal music over the years, both in Europe and America and now, nearly 30 years later, in a new chapter for the band, it’s exciting for Paradise Lost to be a part of Nuclear Blast!”

Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger added: “As a fan from day one I’ve been following Paradise Lost ever since their death metal era, but have also enjoyed watching them grow into something even bigger and so unique. They defined and later on re-defined the gothic genre and always delivered the most dark and memorable songs. It’s a great pleasure to finally welcome the band to the ever-growing Nuclear Blast family! Needless to say that we’re very much looking forward to this partnership!”

Paradise Lost’s line-up is as follows;

Nick Holmes (vocals)
Greg Mackintosh (lead guitar)
Aaron Aedy (rhythm guitar)
Steve Edmondson (bass)
Waltteri Väyrynen (drums)

Paradise Lost issued 14th full-length studio album The Plague Within in June 2015 via Century Media Records.
