SOLITARY ONE. Cooler opener, metallic riffs on a keyboard from worn, Gothic ;-), melody. As with many PL albums makes this song in the mood for the whole album. Nicks voice has absolute authority. What, incidentally, consistently with the album auffälllt. While Greg riff grabs over reef, Nick has to prove himself. The two seem to hochzuschaukeln on this album and that leads to an often brilliant mixture.
CRUCIFY. Tough as lava it comes to the second song on. Doom Metal, which will drive the older fans, the lights in his eyes. With some brilliant solos.
FEAR OF THE IMPENDING HELL. The first absolute highlight melodic. Holmes leaves the crying times and sings. Very melodic, very good.
HONESTY IN DEATH. And directly the next highlight, the song is an absolute Hyme. Nagging riffs and brutal vocals.
THEORIES FROM ANOTHER WORLD. I'm not quite sure, but the song is probably the hardest thing was jeh found on a plate PL. But I enjoy being proven wrong. Please do not listen while driving, pure adrenaline.
IN THE DWELL keeps the level up further. The song begins with an almost classic hard rock riffs ('Aint Talking Bout Love', who knows it yet?), But the sneaking therefore awesome as rusted.
TO THE DARKNESS. Hello There? Change of pace in the middle section, layer over layer, which is the that, please, progressive Doom with Maiden and Judas Priest impact? But does not matter, maybe fool me my old ears even with the associations, but TO THE DARKNESS rocks.
TRAGIC IDOL. Nick reached the pitch of the unfortunately unfortunately deceased Pete Steele. The song is also otherwise a small bow to TONE.
WORTH FIGHTING FOR. Oppressive and gloomy. The song is taken from the tribal drums and even raised by the almost slimy, creeping reef higher.
THE GLORIOUS END ends the album as it should be, doooooomig, slow and ultra heavy. You have to listen a bit, the song does not ignite immediately, such as the 4 beads in the middle part of the album.
My conclusion: Paradise Lost are remetallisiert! Greg Mackintosh has given his side project Vallenfyre obviously a boost and returned to his old school metal roots. Sometimes even Iron Maiden sound through. Riff on Mollriff, this morbid lead guitars and vocals geröhrtem violently. The songs are a few exceptions good and catchy. Whether that is the closed circuit to the early days now? I do not know, I just know 'Tragic Idol' is fun without end.
