Paradise Lost - Small Town Boy

[triste-guillotine]

PARADISE LOST “Lost Paradise”, LP 1990 (The first funereal masterpiece of Darkness, Death & Doom totally drowned in rotting misery and deadly inner torments, the reflect of an eternal punishment for us all...)

“Unleashed upon man Their poisoning brains An empty grasp - a threat to all those sane. The daggers poised For shallow minds Unheard laughs... Disrupting all mankind This rotting misery The beggars are all gathered No others rule supreme... Rotting misery Clouded realities Brought before us Their pointless lives As all their faith is lost Morbid existence Of these poor souls Now must die to exist no more”

Friday, October 13: Paradise Lost, “Close Your Eyes”

Paradise Lost began to right the ship with their 2005 self-titled release, ending years of increasingly listless experimentation by attempting a sequel of sorts to the best-selling Draconian Times.  “Close Your Eyes” sounded like it could’ve been written a decade earlier, though it would’ve fit more naturally on One Second: Gregor Mackintosh’s main riff was more forceful than anything he’d written in the past decade, but Nick Holmes was still caught between growling and his more recent penchant for crooning.  Still, ex-Blaze drummer Jeff Singer gave the song momentum, and both Holmes and Mackintosh sounded more purposeful than they had in years.  And even if Paradise Lost was still in a holding pattern- they didn’t seem totally sure of themselves until they eventually retreated back to their original doomdeath style around 2012- “Close Your Eyes” was a definite step in the right direction.
