This Halifax, Yorkshire, England-based death metal quintet was formed in 1988,
deriving their name from John Milton's epic poem. The band originally comprised
Nick Holmes
(b. 7 January 1970, Halifax, Yorkshire, England), Gregor Mackintosh

(b. 20 June 1970, Halifax, Yorkshire, England; guitar), Aaron Aedy
(b. 19 December
1969, Bridlington, Yorkshire, England; guitar), Stephen Edmondson
(b. 30 December
1969, Bradford, Yorkshire, England; bass) and Matthew Archer
(b. 14 July 1970,
Leicester, Yorkshire, England; drums), and were signed to the independent Peaceville
label on the strength of two impressive demos. They debuted in 1990 with Lost
Paradise, which was heavily influenced by Napalm Death, Obituary and Death. It
featured indecipherable grunting from Holmes, over a barrage of metallic white noise.
Gothic saw a major innovation in the grindcore genre, with female vocals, keyboards
and guitar lines that, for once, were not lost in the mix. Importantly, the tempo had also
eased: We started to play more slowly because all the others were playing as fast as
possible. Many, notably Asphyx and Autopsy, followed suit. With indications in the early
90s of the metal subgenres becoming accepted within the mainstream, it came as no
surprise when Paradise Lost found a wider audience with Shades Of God, their first effort
for Music For Nations. Recorded with producer Simon Efemey, and with artwork from cult
cartoonist Dave McKean, this release was heralded in the press as a coming of age .
Sell-out shows in Europe followed, before the band returned to Longhome studios in the
UK, with Efemey once again in attendance. The As I Die EP gained a strong foothold on
MTV, and gained approval from peers including Metallica. If previous offerings had seen the
band's fanbase expand, September 1993's Icon brought about an explosion of interest and
acclaim usually reserved for the US gods of death metal. Reactions to the band's live
shows in the USA with Sepultura were equally strong. However, before sessions for a fifth
album could begin, Archer amicably departed, to be replaced by Lee Morris, who joined
in time for the release of 1995's excellent Draconian Times. By this time the band's
popularity was such that several promotional concerts had to be performed under the alias
the Painless. Following the release of the disappointing, experimental One Second, the
band signed to EMI Records and reaffirmed their metal credentials with 1999's Host.
