Ascension

Awesome their best for a long time.

Very good new album by Paradise Lost, but not their best

Excellent album. A mix of Gothic Metal, doom metal, and verging on melodic death metal. Definitely one of the best albums of the year.

Paradise Lost na novinke "Ascension" ponúka kombináciu Doom/Gothic Metal -u, pričom kombinuje viacere tráre kapely počas jej dlhej a úspešnej kariéry. Nosnou stránkou sú stredno-tempé alebo pomalé gitary, podporené kvalitnými bicími. Nick Holmes pri speve využíva taktiež viaceré polohy od čistého chlapského spevu až po growlingové pasáže. Zaujímavosťou na kapele je, že mimo bubeníka sú všetci ostatní členovia v kapele od pôvodnej zostavy.

나는 이들의 팬이 아니다. 2,3,4,5집만 들었고 5집은 특히 좋아했지만 그걸로 끝이었다. 고딕메탈도 일부 유명한 밴드들만 들었고 그 장르 자체를 좋아한다고 말하기 힘들다. 이 작품도 그냥 뭐 듣나… 하다가 신작이라 그냥 틀어놨는데 이런! 5집보다 좋고 처연함, 헤비, 멜로디, 분위기 등 어디하나 빠질것 없는 최상위 그레이드의 고딕메탈이다. 올해의 작품 후보.

Estupendo álbum de Paradise Lost. Este "Ascension" tiene todo lo bueno que ellos vienen haciendo en sus distintas etapas, con mucha variedad de estilos lo que enriquece el producto final. "Silence like a grave" es mi tema favorito.

It was a smashing Friday with Paradise lost going through each of their different modes throughout this album. Out of the legacy acts going back to the 90s and earlier, Paradise Lost has given the strongest showing so far this year, in my opinion.

PARADISE LOST have done a marvelous job on their 17th album. While the album has a few weaker songs, it has many more highlights standing out as proof of the band’s excellent songwriting capabilities. If you’re already familiar with the band, you know what you can expect; if you’re not, “Ascension” could be a perfect introduction. Either way, I consider it one of the strongest releases in an already impressive catalogue of a magnificent band.
