Icons of goth and doom, PARADISE LOST, will release their long-awaited 17 album Ascension on September 19 with Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s first album in 5 years, following 2020’s critically acclaimed Obsidian, was produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh and mixed/mastered by Lawrence Mackrory. Ascension is a testament to the band’s longevity and relevance over their 35+ year career, encompassing their signature styles of gothic, death and doom fans have cherished along the way.
Commenting on the record, vocalist Nick Holmes says: “Ascension is a cavalcade of molten misery, a vigorous sorrow-filled stroll through a wicked world of glorious triumph and pitiful tragedy.”
Today, PARADISE LOST offer a glimpse into their melancholic masterpiece with the record’s first single and music video, Silence Like The Grave.
