On April 12, 2007, UK gothic metal pioneers PARADISE LOST played a sold-out show at the Koko club in the heart of Camden, London to record a DVD. Fans and media from all over the world came to the beautiful Baroque style venue to celebrate a band that, 20 years since its conception in 1988, is still one of the most exciting bands of their self-defined genre.

Starting with the UK live debut of "The Enemy" from PARADISE LOST's latest album "In Requiem" (which came out one month later), the setlist 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. With a tracklist like this it's easy to win over the audience and be rewarded with enthusiastic feedback, but even the highly critical UK press were convinced by the band's honest and pure energy.

The live show was filmed and directed by Paul M Green and his Dash Productions team (who previously worked with OPETH, THE DAMNED, GARY NUMAN and many more). Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, AMON AMARTH, SYMPHONY X, etc.) mixed the brilliantly captured live sound at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, and the dark enchanting cover artwork was done again by Greek artist Seth who already worked on the band's last two album covers.

Here are the exact release dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy: Friday, May 23
Spain, Portugal: Tuesday, May 27
Sweden, Finland, Hungary: Wednesday, May 28
UK, France, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Rest Of Europe: Monday, May 26

Also available as strictly limited 2DVD+2CD and 2LP!

The bonus material features interviews with all band members, quotes from the fans at the Koko, a half hour road movie from the following European tour in fall 2007 and the highly acclaimed "The Enemy" promo video, shot on the Crimean peninsula by Russian avant-garde director Edward 209.

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!


Achat indispensable bien sur, dédicacé à l'ami Axel si il me lit par hasard

P'tain la setlist a de la gueule...

Elle a surtout le mérite de ne pas faire la part belle à In Requiem, comme lors de leur concert à Paris.
Du coup, je vais surement me laisser tenter.

Wé, pas mal du tout, ça donne envie, pi l'artwork a vraiment de la gueule!!

je sais que je vais faire mon gros lourd , mais avec la disgraphie et la statut qu'ils ont , ils pourraient pas faire des concerts de deux heures???

4 extraits du live là :

Et il est sympa ce live, en effet la set list assure vraiment, c'est un bonheur de retrouver des vieilleries antiques comme Gothic, Eternal ou True Belief, même si vocalement Holmes a évidemment évolué, j'ai passé un excellent moment avec ce concert, et retrouver aussi Mouth, I am nothing ou So much is lost, c'est la classe.

Grand disque live pour un grand groupe, PL rules

je l'ai aussi, et j'ai adoré, set liste et son très bon, j'ai trouvé que holmes avait un peu de mal avec les morceaux de l'album gothic sinon il assurait parfaitement, comme les autres membres du groupe

Les morceaux myspace donnent l'eau à la bouche. Je vais me les prendre.

Niveau packaging ça donne quoi ?

Il y a l'édition limité (celle que j'ai) qui contient deux dvds et deux cds audio. Sinon le dvd du concert contient un morceau en plus par rapport au cd (le morceau "isolate" apres "just say word"). Le concert au niveau mise en scene est un concert normal de paradise lost donc statique et les musiciens concentré sur leur instruments.

Je pense me prendre la "deluxe", parce que c'est PL quand même (même si je sais déjà que je regarderais pas des masses le DVD).

Isolate est jouée en début de concert, tu dois confondre. Il me semble que les morceaux en plus sur le DVD sont Once Solemn et As I Die (qui font d'ailleurs partie des moments forts du concert!).

Edit: Au temps pour moi, j'ai confondu Isolate avec Erased.

Triste nouvelle pour le groupe qui perd Jeff Singer. La raison ? Il en a marre de ce business de merde. Il voit jamais sa famille tout ça tout ça.

C'est chiant car il était bien bon. Va falloir trouver un mec au niveau maintenant.

"It is with regret that we have to announce the cancellation of our South American tour. Sincere apologies to all the fans and promoters involved but this decision follows the announcement of the departure of our drummer Jeff Singer. We are committed to doing the 20th anniversary 'Unholy Trinity' dates in Europe with a stand-in drummer but it will be impossible to find and appoint a new drummer in time for the shows in South America. We hope to reschedule a South American tour next year."

Jeff Singer has issued the following statement regarding his departure from PARADISE LOST:

"I guess no one would have seen this coming but as of the end of August I will no longer be drumming for PARADISE LOST. I have decided to hang up my sticks altogether. It is an incredibly hard decision to have had to make as drumming has been my life for as long as I can remember and through good and bad has been my living for nearly 20 years. It is going to be very difficult I am sure and after four and a half years I will miss Nick, Aaron, Steve, Greg (and Milly) very much but in my heart I know that it is the correct thing for me to do.

"So why am I leaving? Well, to be honest it is a difficult thing to explain in a few paragraphs, but here goes.

"I am sure you are aware that the record industry is struggling and I, for one, have become increasingly disillusioned with the music business as a whole. I feel incredibly lucky to have travelled so much in my career. I have so many fantastic memories and have had a ton of priceless experiences. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and I wouldn't change anything. However, to have survived in this business for so long has meant great sacrifice and I have had to move the goalposts over the years to help make things happen and try and survive through some pretty hard times. More and more is being taken away and it is getting harder and harder to make excuses for why I do this.

"We toured so hard this past year; we were basically away for five out of six months and are still out as we speak. In past years I wouldn't be bothered, but as a 37-year-old man with a family now, for me it has just been too tough. My sons are 1 and 3 and being away from them has just been too painful. I asked myself if I could see myself leaving them again for a three-month stretch and the answer was no; I couldn't. I realised there was no point in having a family if I wasn't there and that is how it has to be. Sad as it is, losing my brother two years ago showed me that there is no point in having regrets or feeling that you should have said more or done more. Carpe Diem and all that.

"Coincidentally, whilst I was thinking about my future, I confided in my best friend who ended up offering me a job which will provide me with a good career and future which for a 37-year-old man with nothing but drumming behind him was an offer too good to pass up.

"I appreciate the timing of my departure is terrible but September 1st was the start date for the job and I must go through with that.

"I feel with 'In Requiem' I have gone out on a high. It has been a fantastic two years recording and touring for the album and to tour America with NIGHTWISH the way we did fulfilled a lifelong dream for me. Not a day goes by now without me thinking about that tour and it will always be with me until the day I die.

"I thank everyone involved with PARADISE LOST and I wish you heartfelt good luck for the future. I also thank all the great musicians I have played and toured with since 1986 and especially all the fans who have made it all worthwhile. I am sure everyone will understand and respect my decision."

Bah dommage mais bon ce n'est pas un membre historique donc ce n'est pas très grave, ils n'ont qu'aller rechercher Lee Morris

Tant qu'ils n'annulent pas le concert avec anathema et my dying bride...

Lee Morris il jouait pas dans Ten après avoir quitté le navire (parce qu'il n'aimait plus le retour au heavy du groupe) ?

Sinon le meilleur batteur de PL c'était Jeff Singer, de loin. Maintenant il doit bien y avoir quelques mecs compétents sur le marché.
