| Paradise Lost - Evolve [DVD9] (2002)  Paradise Lost are a heavy metal band that formed in 1988 in Halifax, England. The band's 1991 album, Gothic,
was a seminal album in the doom/death genre. Paradise Lost gradually
polished its sound during the mid-90s and started incorporating
electronic instrumentation beginning with their 1997 album, One Second.
With 2002's Symbol of Life, Paradise Lost diminished its use of
electronic elements in favour of a return to a guitar-oriented approach.
Paradise Lost has proven to be influential, with Jonas Renkse of
Katatonia saying that his band started off "as Paradise Lost fanboys".
Their first three full-length albums are examples of the death/doom
style, although the latter two incorporated some melodic and gothic
elements. However, with the release of the albums Icon (1993) and
Draconian Times (1995), Paradise Lost also became known as pioneers of
the gothic metal subgenre. In accordance with the change in musical
approach, vocalist Nick Holmes changed his singing style. He used a
death grunt on the band's first three albums, but on Icon refined his
voice to have a cleaner tone. Later (circa 1997), the band began
experimenting with electronic styles but after four albums reverted
again to gothic metal.
Their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal
band, consisting of singer Nick 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 to
them. During the years, the band has only changed drummers, with
original member Matthew Archer replaced in 1994 by ex-Marshall Law
drummer Lee Morris. In March 2004, Morris left the band. Jeff Singer
took Morris' place and has played on all subsequent releases, though he
was not listed as a permanent band member until the release of the
single "The Enemy" in 2007. In a recent video interview, Mackintosh and
Holmes revealed that Singer had already auditioned for the band when
Archer left, but they chose Morris instead because " [Singer]had a pink
drumkit".
Early on, Paradise Lost were inspired by Black Sabbath, Kreator, Celtic
Frost, Candlemass, Death, Morbid Angel, and Repulsion. Up to 1989, the
band recorded demo cassettes, then signed with Peaceville Records for
their first album (recorded at The Academy), Lost Paradise. Their debut
was well received by press and fans alike. In November 1990, Paradise
Lost went back to The Academy to work on the second album. 1991's Gothic
(also on Peaceville) was the band's stylistic breakthrough, eventually
becoming an influential album within the extreme metal circles. The
album was labeled a "classic" and was rated highly by both fans and
critics. The album expanded beyond the original death/doom format by
being more melodic and featuring symphonic orchestra and female vocals
by Sarah Marrion. With this album the band pushed "gothic" into the
metal scene and started a new genre - gothic metal. Paradise Lost was
signed to the Music for Nations label, and in July 1992 released Shades
Of God. The album contained the song "As I Die," later released as a
single/EP. In summer 1993, the band commenced work on their fourth
full-length record, Icon which was released on September in the same
year. The album hit the German charts at number 31,[10] It solidified
the band's position in the mainstream metal scene. Draconian Times, one
of the band's most successful albums came in June 1995; a limited
edition digipack offered a second disc, dubbed "Live Tracks, Demos &
B-Sides," with five live recordings as well as demos and outtakes. To
promote the album, Paradise Lost went on a tour through Europe, South
America, Australia, and Japan.
On the album One Second (1997), the band began to experiment with
Depeche Mode-esque synth pop and electronica.[13] The album turned out
to be one of the band's most important releases, cracking the German and
Swedish top ten charts and giving the band a boost in popularity
everywhere, it seemed — except the UK. The band later contracted EMI
Electrola in Germany for its next album, Host, released in 1999, on
which they continued to experiment with new sounds, appearing to shed
their metal roots. On the next album, Believe in Nothing (2001),
Paradise Lost continued the synth direction, but adding rock elements to
the music. In May 2002, the band signed to GUN records, and on the
album that followed, Symbol of Life, the metallic roots of the band
began to resurface.
Paradise Lost released their 10th, eponymous album in 2005 on GUN
records. The eleventh album, In Requiem, was released in Spring 2007 on
Century Media; it was generally well-accepted and highly rated by both
critics and fans, pleased to see the band returning to their heavier,
gothic metal sound similar to that of earlier albums like Draconian
Times. The full-length was preceded by a single, "The Enemy."
In November 2007, Century Media released the DVD Over The Madness, which
documents the impact Paradise Lost has had on gothic metal and provides
insight into the mindset and workings of Paradise Lost. Disc 2 includes
further interviews, rehearsal footage, plus backstage and memorabilia
sections.
On 13 August 2008, drummer Jeff Singer announced his departure from the
band on the Paradise Lost official website. He wanted to be with his
family, had an upcoming job, and the then-upcoming South American tour
would interfere with that. As a result, Paradise Lost had to cancel the
South American tour dates that they had planned. Soon after, on 28
August 2008, the Paradise Lost official website announced that the
cancelled South American tour has been reconfirmed and that Mark Heron
from Oceansize would take over on drums.
At the beginning of 2009, Paradise Lost recorded an album with producer
Jens Bogren in Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden. At the time
there was no full-time replacement for Jeff Singer and drums were
played by Swedish drummer Peter Damin. On 16 March 2009, when recording
for the album was already finished, the band recruited Adrian Erlandsson
(ex-At the Gates, ex-Cradle of Filth) as a full-time drummer for the
band.
On 18 June 2009, Paradise Lost officially announced Faith Divides Us -
Death Unites Us as the title of their album to be released on Century
Media Records on 25 September 2009 in Germany, on 28 September 2009 in
the rest of Europe and on 6 October 2009 in the US.
Paradise Lost headlined the Jägermeister Stage at Ozzfest 2010 on 18 September 2010.
In late 2011, Paradise Lost began recording its 13th studio album Tragic
Idol in The Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire. The album was released on
23 April 2012.
A review taken from sonicabuse.com: Quote: Evolve’ is Paradise Lost’s first foray into the world of DVDs and it’s a bit of
a let down actually. Despite featuring two concerts and a host of extra
features, Evolve is let down by the fact that both concerts had been
previously available, the somewhat dubious sound quality and the fact
that lead singer Nick Holmes projects rather more of an air of boredom
than of menace. This, rather sadly, leads this release to be more for
fans than casual viewers and so should be approached accordingly.
That said, if you area fan then there is plenty here to admire. Kicking
off with the ‘Harmony Breaks’ MTV special, we have an impressively
filmed set from just after the release of Icon. Featuring only seven
tracks, it is rather short, but it’s nice to have some footage from when
PL were long of hair and big on rock. Following this, we are treated to
the promo videos of the era which, bearing in mind they are mid 90s
metal promos, aren’t too bad, but it is unlikely you’ll watch them more
than once.
The main meat of the set is a full performance from London’s Shepard’s
Bush Empire, featuring 19 tracks. Originally available as ‘One Second
Live’ for members of the fan club, the set list is an intriguing mixture
of songs from the One Second album itself (sounding rather more beefy
in the live environment) and choice cuts from the band’s earlier albums
(although scant attention is paid to their deathly roots).
Unfortunately, despite the reasonable filming, the sound is somewhat
muddy with the twin guitars of the band frequently compressed out of the
mix (‘Lydia’ in particular suffers from this) while Nick’s vocals sound
strained and often off-key. The latter is not helped by the fact that
Nick looks bored throughout much of the performance, and the ‘Harmony
breaks’ special doesn’t help when offered as evidence of the energy that
PL can exude when they are in the mood.
The package is rounded off with more promo videos (which get better as
the band’s budget expanded) and home movies featuring rehearsal footage,
backstage banter and more. In the end, this is not a bad package, per
se, but it’s not great either. It handily gathers together material that
was previously hard to find, and it offers plenty for fans, but it also
feels like a bit of a missed opportunity from a band who have so much
to offer. This is rather a chapter in the evolution of the band, rather
than the full story. Approach with caution.  DVD Contents:
