The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Gothic Doom Metal band
This album shows the band returning to their death-doom roots, mixed with elements of the gothic metal sound they are most known for. Paradise Lost proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that heading musically backwards, or accurately pronounced as “back to the roots”, is as worthy as solid gold. The evolving spirituality of Doom, mostly slow tempo semi Death and breaths of Gothic Metal within the album spread the awareness of much older days. The production values may not be a means of appraisal, but as far as the material goes, it came to be a long time yearning to the classic era of the band, a type of longing that fulfilled itself right here on this album. “The Plague Within” reinstated the profound growl vocals of Nick Holmes to Paradise Lost. The anguish within the Doomed melodies of the Mackintosh nature remained strong, painful, crying out, sending their shivers across the skin, creating a haze, which the band lost at some point. When it comes to the guitar riffs, it has always been simple, yet throughout “The Plague Within” it felt darker, almost escalating into a devouring beast in black. Paradise Lost have always been keeping their rhythm guitar riffs simple, palm muted chunks of death along with open chords that just felt true. And of course, what kind of tightness and scenery of damnation can be achieved without the kind of pristine rhythm section that this band has. Picture a blend of the first four albums, and you shall find their presence slowly forming on this release. It is evident that the band didn’t forget the last five years, and it also attributed to the music. In general, it is not a process anymore, it is the real thing back and alive before you, PARADISE LOST crossed back in full, and in quality, to the early 90s, somewhat filthier, murkier and condemned to forever bliss of mourning.
Paradise Lost are once again refining the chemical equation to their sonic alchemy with the kind of creative invincibility few can deliver. Blessed with stark contrasts of crushing heaviness and melancholic melodies, “The Plague Within” is a fantastic Gothic Metal opus, perfectly produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost BC, Ulver, Cathedral) and visually rounded-off by art courtesy of Zbigniew M. Bielak (Watain, Behemoth).
