Formed in 1988, metal quartet Paradise Lost quickly became key innovators in the nascent doom metal and grindcore worlds. While their 1990 debut, LOST PARADISE, was straightforward, if deft, death metal in the Napalm Death/Obituary variety, the follow-up, GOTHIC, found the band adding female vocals, keyboards, and prominent guitar lines, all rarities for the genre. In the early-to-mid-'90s, the group signed with Music for Nations, a trio of critically heralded records in SHADES OF GOD, ICON, and DRACONIAN TIMES. After a forgettable stint on EMI, the outfit returned to form on 2007's creative IN REQUIEM.
