Description

2016 picture disc release

Paradise Lost from Halifax, England released their third album ‘Shades Of God’ in 1992. The album can be best described as the crossover album between the doom/death oriented ‘Gothic’ and the heavy/doom metal oriented ‘Icon’ without the harsh vocals. Therefore combining heavier/almost thrash metal aspects at times with a small amount of their older death elements. Make no mistake that is not an extreme album though. This is a transition creates a merging of different sounds with Nick Holmes experimenting with cleaner vocal approaches and the music taking melodic turns you would have never seen coming from ‘Gothic’ while still retaining its potent heavy edge from ‘Gothic’. Guest keyboards by Robert John Godfrey. Additional Female Vocals by Sarah Marrion.
