Nick Holmes states: "This is a song about struggling through difficult times, and a point blank refusal to accept that the end is within range."
Guitarist Greg Mackintosh adds: "The first song written for 'Obsidian' so probably one of the closest in style to the previous album 'Medusa'.
It has quite a few different elements to it but is essentially a classic PL song. Doom laden, but hopefully heartfelt and subtle in places."

LYRICS:
No celebration for the damned
One last defiance on command
Receiving malice for mistakes
Rejoice as adversaries fall
As we fall from grace
And we touch deaths hand too soon
As we fall from grace, like you
Would the eyes of another god,
decide to end your life?
The defamation of the damned
This poison chalice you withstand
Receive, decry and slowly fail
Neglected, self-inflicted loss
As we fall from grace
And we touch deaths hand too soon
As we fall from grace, like you.
Through the eyes of another God,
decide to end your life?
We‘re all alone.
There‘s something inside me,
there‘s something unknown
A suffering sublime speaks, words I don‘t know
There‘s something inside me,
there‘s something unknown
A suffering that finds me, the eyes don‘t show
We‘re all alone
As we fall from grace
And we touch deaths hand too soon
As we fall from grace, like you.
Could the eyes of another God,
decide to end your life?

Nick Holmes states: "As a global crisis, it goes without saying Covid 19 has affected everyone and everything, including every aspect of the music industry. As a result, our record label Nuclear Blast offered us the chance to postpone the launch of our latest album 'Obsidian' to a less volatile time later in the year. Taking this into consideration, and the fact the live music circuit is currently in lockdown, we think it's unnecessary to postpone the release as we think our fans wouldn't want to wait. Music can be enjoyed in practically any environment, so therefore we are going ahead with the same release date 15.5.20, and we sincerely hope our new album helps to lift your spirits, and is a beacon of light in the dark during these uncertain times! Thanks for your continuous support through the years and see you on the road!"
Paradise Lost geben Hoffnung - welch süße Ironie 😁🙌🙏💪
Nuclear Blast Records it's ok Nick, Band and Nuclear Blast. As musicians and music lovers, we need art in our lives as an escape from bad things. Big up. Thanks for this!
Please consider a tour with My Dying Bride and Katatonia. It would be so amazing!
Thank You Sir🤘🏻
Class act!
First My Dying bride, then Katatonia and now Paradise lost. The Lords have returned in this year of plague.
They returned with great music perfect for this horrible times....
@@annablack7776 agreed
my dying bride wasn't as good as this
@@joddeurter2448 True, maybe first two, three songs. rest of Ghost of Orion is quite weak.
trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The guy acting in this video did a really good job.
I agree with you. I thought he did an especially good job with covering the wide scope of delirium and being manic while he was constructing that 'Gigeresque' contraption of his daughter's eye. The cinematography is top notch too. I really liked the swirling cam work in the beginning (Kubrick's 2021 anyone?). This is only my second video/song I've checked out from this band despite knowing about them for some time. Gonna check out their early work as well as their peers'... MDB and Anathema are also bands I've been slacking on too. :P
Video, mere piece of art!
i wondered if its the same actor as in Honesty in Death.
Yeah just like the one in Faith Divides Us
Agreed.
Is nobody going to talk about the camerawork? The lighting? How the video clip is masterfully shot?
Greg Mackintosh is one of the best songwriters in metal, very underrated. Has that remarkable signature sound and style, very original.
it's a fact and true.
I play mostly blues rock. But I always have in mind the way Gregor should play a part before composing. Every note from him has its own meaning.
And Nick Holmes has one of the best voices, even beyond metal music. What a gifted singer!
So true.
@@PlagueConquersAll so charismatic and unique. He's the original monster.
Paradise Lost is one of those bands that are like a good whiskey or a fine wine. They just get better as the years go on.
What I really like about some veteran bands these days is that they have really experimented and and tested their boundaries during the years and eventually ended up to be something that really feels like an updated version of their original selves. Their style is closer to the classic one than some records in between but they have gathered new elements on the way to keep it fresh. I think Kreator is another very good example of this.
They just keep evovling and just keep getting better with time...like a fine aged wine. So very appreciated.❤
@@visionsofvalkyrie6334 If you want to Tell me, that these mediocre melodies and formulaic Songs as of late are in the Same League as Icon or Host, you are Just wrong :-)
@@Thronsohn every man to each his own.
@@Thronsohn If you care to post your music creations,I would gladly take a listen.
I cannot express how precious is Paradise Lost to me!
It's been 2 years since paradise lost drop this magnificent piece of art and in 2 yesrs I could not stop listening to this,the melody the darkness within ,the heaviness, absolute master piece, thank you very much guys.
one of my favorite band since 1992 year
What a great song!!
7 years passed and Paradise Lost still reminds me of a very special someone I've lost and the pain is always there. These songs are the only way I have to cope with this emptiness feeling that always comes back to haunt me most nights and leave me with that feel of dread as I wake up. Thank you for your songs, sincerely.
Same here...
That is a very sad and touching story. Paradise lost is one of those bands that help us move trough the dark path of life.
I’ve had a really hard month and it sure isn’t getting any easier with the virus outbreak and all. I was literally just about to lose my shit and dissolve into a sobbing mess when this came up. Thank you for all the music. Looking forward to the new album. Thank you.
Thank YOU, Mary!
It wasn't that bad if a simple music video makes you feel better. Drama queens in youtube comments always make me laugh
@@satanamogila9251 Don't be a dick. Music helps lots of people..
A song with the lyrics, ‘end your life’ saved you from being a sobbing mess? This world, honestly!
@@stebirch2457 as a not native English speaker I don't always get the lyrics straight away anyway, so it can indeed happen that the music itself elevates me regardless of what they're singing about.
4:30 The sound of the guitar when soloing sounds like it was in Lost Paradise 32 years ago! Thank you Paradise lost, you are the best! And Nuclear Blast too!
I look forward to this part of the song so much every time I listen to it, it’s got so much feeling to it! Absolutely in love with this song hey 😁
Könnte auf dem Gothic Album sein
Yeah I love that sound. raw, melodic, pure.
Sound is very reminiscent of Gothic.
Sound like old Paradise lost guys
This is what I call masterpiece. No need for half naked models and no need for special effects. You can just enjoy the sadness comming out of the video. The moment the guy was watching his family on his phone got me the most. The numerous times I catch myself staring at pictures of close ones and the ones I love on social media, feeling something is wrong with me, because I can't feel the joy in life the way they do.
That's what social media does to us. Social media is full of envy and jealousy. i feel free now that i don't use instagram as much as before.
"No need for half naked models and no need for special effects" - it would make it better, though
You can hear so many era's going on here, from the hard rock of One Second, the melody of Draconian Times, the slow dirge of their most recent albums and the dark sinister vibe of Gothic, really well done.
Don't you just love the part where it goes "there's something inside me, there's something unknown" ooof, hairs on end!
Totally agree
Masterpiece, visual and musical. And the feeling of lost. Lost of years, people, hopes, desires. No regret, just emptiness.
Great song whenever you're down..give into the darkness it makes you stronger
Paradise Lost is one of the most unique bands I have ever heard! They deserve their flowers now,thank you for blessing us with beautiful music,I will buy and support you guys until the end!
Good old Paradise Lost is back.
This opening riff is still mindblowing! Greg is a demigod!
That guitar melody is god dam beautiful and i love it.
oui
et du punk!!
How many of you still love CDs? I’ll certainly be adding this to my collection. Superb
I only buy CDs dont enjoy digital ,tried I dont know why just wasn't the same,I want the cover art etc.
Will grab this on CD too, of course. CD will never die, I hope:) And i love vinyl too.
Ste Eas Me too man! I just love my CD collection
Vlad Gorbach Good on you bro! I’ll get it too
Thing about cds and vinyl is that you actually have something to hold. It's ads another layer of being closer to the idea behind what you hold. And the art is hopefully just as good.
Still going strong after 30 years +! And still a fan.
Me too
Paradise Lost Is one of the best bands ever!!
Been a fan since 1991 when I had gothic on vinyl. Still amazing. Can't wait for Obsidian!!!!
The darkest part of my brain is full of happiness
24 hours passed and still listening without cease!
Top 10 my fav bands of all time
Gregor's guitar gives me the chill every time...
Saw them.live before 3 years. My mind was blown away how much he is a fantastic guitar player. So good !! Shame he doesnt get more recognition !!!

I saw them live in 1995 and they still have strong personality in their songs. Paradise Lost evolues in every album they present to theirs fans!!! We are very proud of PL!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This song gave me goosebumps.
This is trademark Paradise Lost. Love it! This band doesn't get the recognition they deserve.
No words but incredible. How much talent can a band possess to do a masterpiece like this. Great band, excellent song
Paradise Lost never fails to deliver! Amazing song as well as an amazing performance in the video!
All hail Greg, that lead guitar ooooohhhhh my god. A unique sound through the years!!!! Never dissapoint us.
Best Band everrrrrr, my favorite band of all time
I'm a man, but tears fall from my eyes. That video is the best what i see last time. Thanx Paradise Lost for all!!!
Already preordrered. I've loved Paradise Lost since 1997. One of the best bands ever.
I did the same, yesterday i preordered on nb page, box with alternative cover artwork
95 here when I heard Enchanted on local college radio station. Best band ever.
@@JKennedy442 Draconian Times is a masterpiece, no question. I love all their albums, if I'm honest. My favorite is "One Second." But every stage has shown how good they truly are. And if you want hard, Nick now sings with Bloodbath.
Kings of melancholic playing never dissapoints \m/
Perfect timing. Damn I love Paradise Lost.
Video ending and concept is pure class
Paradise Lost is one of my all time favorite bands! This band helped me through so much shit! Same for Obituary and Carcass!
Loyal Paradise Lost fan since 1990 ... No one can turn misery into a more esthetic experience than they do ... :-)
Awesome song. One of my favorite bands. Great band.
In this darkest times we are living this is the kind of music that lift my spirit. Fantastic track and looking forward for the new record.
I couldn't agree more!
Darkest times? This is still paradise compared to other recent events many people had gone through. But still, music keeping us together any time, anywhere
This is the first adversity the west has faced in decades on any large scale, much of the world has been through war and famine for decades
same..the music really hits on what humanity is experiencing and the existentential mess we are in.
ΑΡΧΟΝΤΕΣ ................ΕΓΓΥΗΣΗ........As always.....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Paradise Lost for all that amazing music all this years.Forever and ever.............. ''......Anger looks on the quiet dreaming Seals the sense incandescent ones Don't run away, from the pain, A claim that you deal with A power game, from within, Impossible for you to see this..........''
15 minutes past the video and my mind is still churning in awe of that ending.
E no meio da crise VEM UM MUSICASSO DO PARADISE LOST!!! Íncrivel!
Paradise Lost never fail to impress!! Can't wait for OBSIDIAN!!
For me, some of Mackintosh's finest work. The haunting, piercing guitar licks behind "we're alone alone" leading into a stunning solo
That man was born to play his role in this clip
I love it. this is indeed dynamic, non-repetitive and musically rich song.
Non-repetitive you say? "We're all alone" is repeated twelve times.
Listening to this in isolation... My day couldn't be better and a gentle reminder that we are in fact all mortal... Respect each other, help each other, love everyone as equal in this time of need...
I happened to see this six hours after it was released, I was stunned. Now after seven months I must say: since -92 when I first listened to Paradise Lost, this one and the whole album is the master piece!
All art forms can be used to escape from reality and follow wherever your thoughts take you. Just like in the 90s when I was trying to find my path in life, Paradise Lost were there to guide and strengthen me. Hello darkness my old friend, here we go again . But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel . I would like to thank Paradise Lost for their bravery in light of these difficult times.. But remember, this too shall pass 🤘
What a beautiful song, I can't stop listening to this chorus is beautiful!
Это просто восхитительно, третий день на репите!!!))
the limited to 100 box set and the t-shirt are my lovely wife's gift to me for my bday.. (April first )and in the days of confinement and worries, this will be a greatly welcomed gift
First tones heard and yes.... it's already an epic classic!!!! Love PL...for more than twenty-five years in my heart now!
This song is a masterpiece!
The track is excellent, i´m sure the album will too, PL is like wine, the older the better!
So Very True.
Old school Paradise vibes
"One last defiance on command" Almighty Paradise Lost. How we missed Thee.
I'm a fan since Lost Paradise... Horns up 🤘🏻🤘🏻
"As we fall from grace And we touch death's hand too soon". Crikey
2:33 I get chills and goosebumps every time I watch this. I love this video and it resonates with me.
MASTERPIECE
This new PL song has definitely convinced me to uncase my guitars after many years and play loud again. I'll have many quarantine days to prep them properly. Here I go, one more time. Just like the old days.
plays with me online!
never stop again!
Oooh Man I just have a single 6-string set. Too bad I didn't buy a 7-string one. Now I'll have to wait for the quarantine to finish to get those. Damn I got that guitar for a great price and never gave it a proper use. Now that I want to use it, I don't have strings...
@@stonerdemon I play most 7 string PL songs with a 6 string just tune to drop C
@@Almarad Oh yes, I can play them with a 6-string, but it's a bummer I can't practice with the 7-string during the quarantine days. The old strings are in terrible shape. I haven't uncased that guitar since... 2012, I think.
Epic song, I can't get enough of it !
Same sound same riffs as in ‘90s , thank you for all !!!
From mauritius island . Kings of Doom. Great song.
Greg Macintosh,the doom riff master!!
This is truly epic.
First I passed this, but later randomly heard opening riff and interested it. Now this sounds masterpiece. Love lyrics sometimes I feel same.
From Portugal ...🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍❤🤍❤🖤🖤🙏 thank you
The king has spoken..all hail to the king 🤘🤘
I AGREE!!!!! EVERY BAND NOW KNEELS TO THE KING!!!!!
Another absolute masterpiece from PL 🤘
Horns up to Paradise Lost band !,,! This song is to perfection love it.. looking forward to the "Obsidian" Album in May !,,! Respect from the Land of the long White Cloud (NZ).
Simply wonderful.
Well usually, I'm not much of a DIY tutorial guy, but I've tried it and that looks good in my backyard. Great background music btw.
Ha ha - great, and funny comment!!! :D
He looks like he could be a great Roman Emperor if he had the right outfit
This reminded me, at times, of no hope in sight, which is one of my favourites; amazing song, and I can't wait to hear the rest
Finally ! Sounds primising. More melodic and more diversified. The mix of clean vocals and growls is perfectly balanced. It's not just six feet under, the chorus is soaring. This is the Paradise Lost I love. Good news.
My favorite song from them!
Мощно. Очень шикарно видеоряд сочетается с аудио. Ребятки как всегда на высоте
...that initial riff which follows through brings to mind 'Prayer for the Afflicted' by Children of Bodom.
Correct. It's Similar. I Think It's Accidental But the Other Riffs and Overall Song is Different and Awesome.
i n k i n t h e w a t e r thank you. i was sure i heard it somewhere before and that's it. COB it is
I realy like the clean vocals... Reminds me of one second.
I suppose I am one of the few who prefer clean vocals to growl. It is worth mentioning that two best PL albums (Draconian Times, and Tragic Idol) are recorded with clean vocals
@@parheliaa agree
I dislike Nicks death growl of today... liked it back at As I die-times, but it just don't suit him anymore. Rest of the song is good though.
Yes agree. And One Second is together with Symbol of Life my favorite albums
One second mąkę me a Paradiso list fan.
PL never disappoints even through the darkest of times!
One of their best songs ever! I've been a fan since the first album.
Ακου το chappel of abusse Apo fvneral fvkk
This is one of my fav PL songs since draconian times
Just like The Plague Within and Medusa, the mix of death growls and clean singing work brilliantly!
Been a fan since the very start and this is as good as anything they've ever done. Great song and great video. Times are getting tough for all of us but music helps to carry us through hard times, good music. Looking forward to the new album. Be safe everybody and look after each other until we're on top of this damned virus.
Both Katatonia and Paradise Lost in one day! God must be crazy!
And Heaven Shall Burn!
Katatonia ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@mikem1457 one of the best german bands
@@mikem1457 great record
way too EMO that Katatonia, I cannot stand it
....da trent'anni sono sempre con la vostra musica grande band . Ciao 👍.
Piękny utwór! Od lat w formie!
Awosome !!!!!!! Greetings from Algeria Waiting for the Album
There's still hope, after all. Thank you Paradise Lost. You've been in my life since Gothic. Thank you.
PL trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf. Sensationelles Album, passt in unsere kranke Welt und entwickelt sich zu meinem Soundtrack 2020. Durch Freunde kenne ich die Band seit ihren Anfängen , war aber kein Fan, später als Host rauskam wurde ich mehr aufmerksam, DM Fan,. Bis auf 2 Alben gefielen mir immer nur einige wenige der Songs, aber seit 2015, die letzten 3 Dinger sind der Hammer. Natürlich ist mir Metal nicht fremd, aber Paradise Lost ist außergewöhnlich, alles andere interessiert mich nicht, es gibt auch nichts besseres .
This is how my personality looks from deep inside! Masterpiece! Love us since first album!
