PARADISE LOST

Medusa

CENTURY MEDIA

Paradise lost’s 15th outing was a masterwork of exquisite anguish. Reaffirming their commitment to towering cyclopean riffs and slow, grinding tempos, the British doom pioneers turned in their most achingly poignant work yet on the backs of instant classics like Fearless Sky and Until The Grave. Rife with darkly infectious melodies and more than a few nods to their sludge-encrusted roots, Medusa’s flawless tracklist and fresh ideas established that, 30 years on, the Yorkshire doom crew remain one of the most forward-thinking and exciting bands in their genre.
