Sticking with 1993, it’s really cool to see to the band draw from their As I Die EP for an airing of the title track. Widow and Embers Fire are the two tracks from that album and sound as fresh today as they did back then. As well as offering up tracks from 1993’s Icon, where the band took their first steps out of the gothic metal genre, they had been lumped in. There’s something for everyone here, the band taking us back to their early years with 1991’s Gothic for a run-through of the title track. Which brings us to the wander through the many different faces of Paradise Lost. Spread throughout the album, these new tracks fit so well amongst the legendary band’s back catalogue. Fall from Grace, Ghosts and Darker Thoughts. Of course, this live album features several tracks from that album and all of them brilliant. Hell, their latest effort – the excellent Obsidian – showed that the band was still going as strong as ever. It hasn’t always worked but regardless, it has always won them new fans. Paradise Lost always entertain and part of that comes from their willingness to challenge themselves. No matter if they’re focusing on the heavier side of their music or the more accessible side. Have you ever seen Paradise Lost live? I have and they’re awesome.
