Overview

Along with countrymates Anathema and My Dying Bride, they are credited for creating the subgenre known as Death/Doom Metal. Later they get more melodic, goth rock inspired sound and bacame known as godfathers of the Gothic Metal subgenre ^{[citation needed]}.

For instance, vocalist Nick Holmes used a death grunt-style of singing on the band's first three albums (Lost Paradise (1990), Gothic (1991), and Shades of God (1992)); Upon the release of Icon (1993), he refined his voice to a cleaner tone. On the album One Second (1997), which was distributed by hip hop label Jive Records, the band experimented with Depeche Mode-styled synth pop and electronica. Despite criticism from traditionalists, this bold approach has also garnered them many new fans along the way, and cemented the loyalty of progressive "old-timers." While less so in their home country, they have been extremely popular in mainland Europe for many years, especially in Greece and Germany, where they are regarded as mainstream rock stars. Paradise Lost's line-up has remained remarkably consistent for a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Holmes, guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. Holmes and Mackintosh are the principal composers, with almost all of the band's songs credited solely to them. Only the band's drumming position has changed, with original sticks man Matthew Archer leaving in 1994 to be replaced by ex-Marshall Law drummer Lee Morris. In March 2004, Morris also left the band. Drummer Jeff Singer took Morris' place and has played on all subsequent releases, though he was not listed as a permanent member of the band until the release of single The Enemy in 2007. In a recent video interview, Mackintosh and Holmes revealed that Singer already auditioned for the band when Archer left, but they chose Morris instead because "[Jeff] had a pink drumkit".^[1] Nick Holmes (born England, January 7, 1971) is a British singer and current vocalist of band Paradise Lost. ...
