Aaron Aedy is a British guitarist in the UK heavy metal band Paradise Lost, and plays along side Gregor Macintosh. His contributions to the songs of Paradise Lost include I See Your Face, from Draconian Times. Heavy metals, in chemistry, are chemical elements of a particular range of atomic weights. ...
Paradise Lost are an institution, a band who defined a whole sub-genre of music and who continue to defy all musical trends which have come and gone over the years.
With their superb, self-titled tenth album (otherwise known as PL X) due for it's much-delayed UK release next month through Century Media Records, we caught up with their rhythm guitarist AaronAedy in Glasgow, to discuss the new album and the band's evolution.
It was a real challenge for me. Greg was really into using keyboards at the time, but I obviously had to approach it differently, to the point where I ended up writing a lot of my own parts.
Those who liked Gothic, Shades of God, Icon and Draconian Times will finally taste again the flavour of the typical PL guitars, chords and atmospheres.
Aaron's crushing and pushing rhythmic, Greg's distorced and atmospheric lead, Lee's effective drums.
And throughout Aaron's and Greg's guitars are again the typical PL signature, supported by good drums with the presence of songs that rock so much in a modern way.
