Paradise Lost - Gothic - Picture Disc
'Gothic' was the album responsible for a whole sub-genre: Gothic Doom Metal, upon its release in 1991. Creating a more melancholy & atmospheric form of dark extremity, with the introduction of Gregor Mackintosh's highly distinctive & unmistakable lead guitar melodies, Paradise Lost was quickly brought to the forefront as one of the pioneering bands of the early nineties, becoming highly influential to a generation of subsequent greats, including Katatonia.
