Paradise Lost

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

the sisters are spoken of at lost's website:

As such, the latest work, “Symbol Of Life�, represents in some ways a new beginning. At a time in which the quality of a Paradise Lost album is still measured by many on the basis of its heavy guitar content, Nick Holmes, Greg Mackintosh, Aaron Aedy, Steve Edmondson and Lee Morris offer their audience a new challenge in which there is no shortage of guitar bombast, but without subjugating themselves to the apparent constraints of their previous history. Instead, they have released themselves from the black & white logic of their previous creative decisions and are taking their next artistic steps with a variety of different feet. “Symbol Of Life� allows the magnitude of influences that have always hovered in the background of their work to roam freely, whether in the form of the enchanting ‘Dead Can Dance’ cover, “Xavier�, the almost-forgotten Sisters Of Mercy influenced gothic hymns or rhythmically state-of-the-art Cyber-Rock – Paradise Lost come across on this album as ‘liberated’ in the truest sense of the word. Just one ghost of the past will remain intact with them forever it seems – the ghost of ‘being miserable’ that continues to be the unifying force in this album as in all of their previous work.

hehe the almost forgotten sisters eh? it's true though i guess. we, the sisters fans are a dying breed.

should i have posted this in the sisters forum??

Just got the new album and it's stonking! And it's certainly a return to form after the dissapointment that was Believe In Nothing.
Check out that Bronski Beat cover version you get as one of the a bonus tracks on the ltd edition digipack it's wicked! :grin:

For sweet baby Jesus,Can't we ban Heavy metal fans from the forum.I hate Goth metal almost as much as cyber goth.
And I've heard that Bronski beat cover,Its appalling, worse than the original, if that is possible.It must take enormous skill to make a crap song even crapper.
BTW anyone else noticed a resemblance between The Neph's "new gold dawn" and "small town boy"?
The photographs of God I bought have almost faded away

Paradise Lost, only the band The Sisters could have been...
I'll take Draconian Times and One Second plus that rather nice German rock festival TV broadcast DVD I have ;D

my favourite is Shades of God
and the first song i've heard was One Second, of course
it was autumn 1998, VHS-compilation "Beauty in the Darkness 3", including Temple of Love 1992 video
btw, it was the first time i've ever listened to Sisters, too, but it taken 6 years more for me to hear any other song :lol:
but i liked this one forever
the same thing with One Second
and i was at two Moscow Paradise Lost gigs, in 2003 and 2005
pretty awesome
and, of course, you should have mentioned them being influenced by Sisters much :von:
especially that two string playing by Greg MacIntosh :lol:
