Anyone who wants to know what Paradise Lost is (named after the work of John Hamilton), who needs this album. If ever a Gothic death metal album to be recorded - it should have been this. The mood, spread with this album the Paradise Lost from the first note, can not be put into words. That must feel. Anyone who is 90 'biased by the commercial tide of Black and Death's, which can be found here, which means genuine music of the Gothic-Death's. Here a masterpiece was with heart and soul, and more created that, a comparison with anything else should be possible, can only be described approximately by the band's own successor "Shades Of God". There is no easy (and rightly so) anything like it -> The atmosphere of this incomparable guitar which fills the space - these vocals that do not release an even hours after listening, this bass that drives everlastingly a ... almost indescribable atmosphere. This is real craftsmanship. Will buy. Be silent. Hear. Enjoy.
