Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire in 1988 & are known for being the founders of the Gothic Death/Doom Metal genre; a style fully brought into existence with their genre-defining second album, the highly influential "Gothic".
Having released 2 albums, including "Gothic", for the UK's Peaceville Records & later helping to establish Peaceville as home to the finest trio of UK doom bands (alongside My Dying Bride & Anathema), Paradise Lost then signed with fellow UK label, Music For Nations which eventually led to the band breaking through to mainstream rock & metal audiences as their style evolved.
"One Second", the band's sixth album, was originally released in 1997 on the Music For Nations label & became a big hit for the band, even entering the top 10 in the German charts upon release. The album was recorded at Battery Studios & Rockfield Studios with producer Ulf "Sank" Sandqvist, & was notable for featuring more streamlined gothic rock tracks & a large portion of electronic elements, while still retaining the trademark Paradise Lost guitar style. The album was a great success, as was the single, "Say Just Words", as featured on "One Second".

This edition of "One Second" is a double LP on heavyweight black vinyl, with gatefold sleeve & is numbered to 2000 copies.

PARADISE LOST
Draconian times MMXI (Gold Vinyl)

Gold double vinyl limited to 500 copies

Draconian Times" is Paradise Lost's most recognized and successful album and for good reason, they managed to take a genre of Metal that didn't much recognition until the mid-90's and take it to the next level.

Doom metal and more specifically goth metal itself didn't exist that much in the 80's....outside of say Candlemass and Celtic Frost just barely touching upon the basics of the genre, and they did so with style, but nobody had done it like Paradise Lost.

Paradise Lost sound is pure grimly doom/death metal. "Draconian Times" starts out with a somber-sounding piano, excellent way to start off an album.
"Hallowed Land" is one of favorite song: the lead guitar work of Gregor Mackintosh makes this an epic fist-banger.
"The Last Time" is probably their most blatant attempt at making light of the Goth sound with guitars for a huge hit.
After that depressing-induced song comes the way more upbeat and angrier "Once Solemn".
"Elusive Cure" is one song that should have been the leading single off this album: Gregor just lets his fingers hit those wailing, somber melodies.

This is one of the better cuts off the album. "Yearn For Change" continues the song and picks the mood up a notch.
So this album is their creative peak between their older material and the new style of the band.
Even though recently their last two albums have gone back to their original style of their older material, it's all just more of a nostalgia trip.

There's enough doom and gloom here to almost combat with the previous 2 albums and enough progression that surpasses the rest of their discography.
