PARADISE LOST Drummer Checks In From The Road

September 18, 2007

Drummer Jeff Singer of the UK gothic metal pioneers PARADISE LOST has posted the following tour blog on the band's web site:

"Well, here we are nearly one week into the tour. No one has been arrested, sent home or hospitalized but there is time! So, who is on this tour? Aside from the band there is Gary the driver, Little Rob, our sound guy, and tour manager who is a fellow Mancunian thus breaking the misery of our dour Yorkshire chums. Milly and Danny who are teching, Paul the Dutchman doing lights and Mel on merch. Paul has an uncanny look of our own Mr. Holmes (singer Nick Holmes) and keeps getting stopped for autographs while his bizarre nasal laugh which resembles the sound of a train has earned him the monicker of The Flying Dutchman. Mel, bless her, is on her first tour but is holding up well.

"Band wise we have German band EYES OF EDEN and Canada's NEUROSONIC who have just come off the Family Values tour in America with KORN and EVANESSENCE. Both bands are sharing a bus which had to be changed last night after it emerged that a mouse had sneaked on board and was evading capture whilst eating everyone's food and leaving droppings in everyones bunks...nice!

"So far so good in terms of the tour. Everyone is quite chilled, crowds have been good and noticeably more vocal and we have nailed a set-list we feel happy with and have moulded it over the first few nights."

PARADISE LOST reecntly released the video for the song "Praise Lamented Shade", taken from the band's latest, much-lauded CD, "In Requiem", which was issued via Century Media Records in May 2007. The clip was filmed during PARADISE LOST's April 2007 show at Koko in London (a concert which was filemd for an upcoming DVD) and was directed by Dash Productions (who worked with people such as STEVEN SEAGAL, GARY NUMAN, LEVEL 42, PAUL RODGERS, RICK ASTLEY, HEAVEN 17, THE DAMNED, MARC ALMOND, DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS and many more). Watch the video below.

In other news, "In Requiem" is finally available on vinyl again! As the limited 4 x 7" box (2,000 copies) was sold out in the first week of release, Century Media Records and PARADISE LOST have decided to release the album as a vinyl LP, too. It contains the regular album tracks and comes in heavy cardboard gatefold cover, including a newly designed poster.

PARADISE LOST achieved the following first-week chart positions with their 11th studio opus, "In Requiem":

Germany: #12
Austria: #28
Switzerland: #41
France: #43
Sweden: #33
Finland: #19
