 As the European release date of Gothic Metal masters PARADISE LOST’s
new DVD, The Anatomy Of Melancholy, is drawing closer, the band has
revealed a first impression of this brilliant live-recording. From now
on you have the opportunity to listen to four songs taken off the
upcoming live document at the band’s official MySpace page.
Starting with the UK live debut of 'The Enemy' from the latest album In
Requiem, the set-list includes songs the band hadn’t played live in a
long time prior to that night, such as 'Eternal' and 'Gothic' from
their 1991 album Gothic, the rare B-side 'Sweetness' from their 1994
'Seals The Sense' single and other classics from their impressive album
roster.
Guitarist Greg Mackintosh comments: “The release of The Anatomy of
Melancholy is quite exciting for us. Not only is it a DVD but it is
also our first live album in the history of Paradise Lost! It
incorporates pretty much every era of our career. Jens Borgen has mixed
the DVD and in my opinion he did a sterling job with the mix. It has so
much energy to it and you can really feel the atmosphere of this
special night. Also Seths' artwork is beautiful as always. For us this
is definitely a great way to celebrate our 20th anniversary.”
Nick Holmes, Vocals: "After 20 years and 11 albums, we figured it
was maybe time to release our first live album. We wanted a good cross
section of what we feel are our most popular "live" songs, whilst also
representing a good proportion of our albums so far. I feel that all
the songs chosen for this DVD sit very well side by side in a live
environment, despite our musical career being somewhat varied at times.
Already there are people who disagree with some of our song choices,
but if that means that we have more than one good song, I guess that´s
a positive.”
With the band’s 20th anniversary in 2008, this DVD is the perfect
entertainment for your private anniversary party. A trailer for The
Anatomy Of Melancholy will be posted online soon!
