Peaceville Records will release the new Paradise Lost collection, The Lost And The Painless, on November 26. Pre-order here, and watch a video trailer here.
A limited edition expansive collection of studio, demo & live material from the early years of the band. This 6CD & 1DVD set includes newly remastered albums, plus 92 page book coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Gothic.
Creators, pioneers & purveyors of the whole Gothic Doom Metal scene which subsequently came to prominence in the early 90s, Britain’s Paradise Lost rose from humble Northern roots to become one of the UK’s leading artists in the metal genre throughout the decade and beyond, remaining as relevant and revered as ever to this day after a career spanning over three decades.
Marking 30 years since the release of the milestone that is the band’s sophomore album, ‘Gothic’, ‘The Lost and the Painless’ is an expansive 6CD/1DVD set containing the full works of both the formative and Peaceville years of the UK Gods. From the early incarnation of the band finding their feet in a death metal landscape still in its relative infancy, to their early live appearances showcasing the clear talent of the Yorkshire quintet, this deluxe set also incorporates the band’s legendary studio albums in the shape of the influential deathly doom debut, ‘Lost Paradise’, as well as the ground-breaking & genre-defining follow-up, ‘Gothic’. The included DVD features four shows, leading with the ‘Live Death’ concert from 1989, and followed by a trilogy of captured performances between 1990 & 1991, as Paradise Lost were beginning to mark their gradual ascension with a host of now classic tracks from their early repertoire.
The ‘Lost Paradise’ and ‘Gothic’ albums, plus ‘Gothic’ EP have been specially remastered for this set by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios.
Alongside The Lost And The Painless, Peaceville will release a limited gold coloured vinyl LP and cassette of the original recording of Gothic to celebrate the 30th anniversary.
"Looking at the artwork for The Lost And The Painless'and remembering those early albums and live shows, It's amazing to think that Gothic was released 30 years ago. It serves as a very important chapter in the life of the band and conjures a lot of nostalgia from the early 90's. We lived off crisps, slept in squats, on people’s floors and under vehicles. Cigarettes were £1.50 a packet, Stella Artois beer was still 5.2% proof, and travelling in a Ford Transit van with all the equipment and 10 people sitting on an old mattress was considered normal. Distant memories aside, it was also a great time for Death Metal music in general, and The Lost And The Painless serves as a timely reminder." - Nick Holmes
