Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, England in 1988; originally comprising vocalist Nick Holmes, lead guitarist Gregor Mackintosh, rhythm guitarist Aaron Aedy, bassist Steve Edmonson, and drummer Matthew Archer, the group recorded a pair of demo tapes, Drown in Darkness and Frozen Illusion, before signing with Peaceville Records to issue their debut album Lost Paradise in early 1990. The band went on to have considerable cult success over the next decade – scoring 3 singles chart entries and a top twenty album “Draconian Times”.
Paradise Lost are still very active – and have just completed recording a new album for release early next year. The band still tours the world playing to their ever-loyal fanbase.
“Live Death” features rare material from the band’s very early days, a show filmed in November 1989, prior to the release of their debut album.
The majority of the songs from the set went on to form the “Lost Paradise” album that launched the band’s career.
