"Lost Paradise", el álbum debut del grupo británico pionero del doom metal Paradise Lost fue lanzado en formato CD en el año 1990 y es considerado una pieza clave para entender la evolución tanto del death-doom como del gothic metal gracias a su combinación única entre guitarras pesadas y melodías melancólicas envolventes con letras profundas e introspectivas que marcaron tendencia dentro del género durante décadas posteriores al lanzamiento original . Fundados en Halifax (Reino Unido) en 1988 ,Paradise Lost se ha consolidado como uno de los referentes más influyentes dentro del panorama internacional gracias también a discos emblemáticos como ?Gothic?, ?Icon? o ?Draconian Times?. Su trayectoria está avalada por elogios críticos constantes y una base mundial fiel desde hace más treinta años . El fabricante Peaceville Records destaca por su dedicación absoluta hacia géneros musicales alternativos extremos tales como el doom ,black o death-metal ; fundado oficialmente allá por el año ?87 cuenta entre sus filas con nombres históricos tan relevantes como My Dying Bride ,Katatonia o Darkthrone lo cual lo convierte hoy día sinónimo indiscutible calidad y vanguardia sonora para coleccionistas exigentes .
This is the first full length for Paradise Lost, basically is an excellent death metal album that continues the style of their initial demos. The sound is heavy and raw, different from their later albums; but you can enjoy it if you like metal.

Lost Paradise is the first album of Paradise Lost, and although it is the most raw by virtue of the strong death metal influence, it opens the road for the now classic Gothic. First step of a band with a very diverse, sometimes controversal, discography.

Absolutely uninteresting album was obtained by the British. Although it is considered a classic of the doom-det genre, but, as for me, it is not - doom retreats are very rare (when compared with the classic doom - Candlemass, Saint Vitus). There is a usual slow-motion child, though with an oppressive atmosphere. It can be seen that the guys still do not know how to play properly, and the composer's talent is lame. The sound is powerful enough, but dirty, just right for the atmosphere of the album. Vocals are hard growl / wheeze, apparently published for "gravity for gravity." There are no melodies as such, mostly riffing, to be honest, not of the best quality. Since this is a debut album, you can close your eyes to many shortcomings, but from the standpoint of today's time, it does not withstand any criticism.
