Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost are coming to Athens with a masterpiece of a new album and all the highlights of their career! On Wednesday, November 11th, Floyd will host one of the most important bands in modern metal history, for a unique show that will reaffirm the Greek fans' long-standing devotion to the "Shadowkings." Carrying a brand-new album and a setlist spanning the most iconic moments of their legendary discography, the British band is set to deliver a captivating performance worthy of their name and history. Never a group to remain creatively static, across their career they’ve explored myriad avenues of dark music, from sludgy doom-death roots, to conquering the metal mainstream with the enormous, lush sounds of 1995’s Draconian Times, to more experimental, electronic leanings , leaving an influence on a trail of artists as varied as Cradle Of Filth, HIM, Gatecreeper and Chelsea Wolfe. Now, in 2025, the Yorkshire quintet return with their staggering 17th album, Ascension, a record that sees their crown continue to gleam as it underlines just how they attained their position. Produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh at Black Planet East studios in Yorkshire, with drums and vocals captured at NBS and Wasteland studios in Sweden, its 10 tracks traverse the multitude of sounds in the band’s arsenal, from full-bore heavy metal to sky-high melody, all the while keeping a minor-key melancholy that remains irresistible. “After 35 years, everything is conscious,” says Nick. “Its difficult not to be 100% sure of where everything is coming from having such a vast varied back catalogue, but ultimately it simply comes down to if we like the music we are creating or not. If we do, it stays! That hasn't changed since we were teenagers.” Ascension stands proud in Paradise Lost’s canon. The misery never stops but, says Nick, that’s how they like it. On Wednesday, November 11th at Floyd, Paradise Lost will remind us why, for nearly four decades, their darkness has remained the most captivating sanctuary of the heavy sound. A landmark night featuring the songs that defined their legendary discography and sealed their long-standing bond with the Greek fans.
