A major step forward for the legendary gothic metallers!

And of course a major coup for the German record label Nuclear Blast. The Yorkshiremen have signed to the label today and will be releasing a new album through the European powerhouse that is adding so many of the best metal bands in the business to it’s roster.

Boasting a lucrative career since 1988, Paradise Lost continue their career with 4 of it’s 5 original members, with a major label to release a brand new album likely to come soon.

Vocalist Nick Holmes commented:

“Paradise Lost’s career has run alongside Nuclear Blast Records since the label began in the late 80’s. 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!”

And 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!”

Exciting times for British metal.
