Recorded in late 1990 / early 1991 at the renowned Academy Studios in Yorkshire (responsible for classic albums from bands such as My Dying Bride, Anathema, Cradle of Filth, among many others), Gothic was the album responsible for a whole sub-genre - Gothic Doom Metal - upon its release in 1991.
Creating a more sombre & atmospheric form of dark extremity, with the introduction of Gregor Mackintosh's highly distinctive & unmistakable lead guitar melodies, Paradise Lost established themselves as among the pioneering UK bands of the early nineties, becoming highly influential to a generation of subsequent greats.
