PARADISE LOST To Release 'The Enemy' Single In April

March 15, 2007

On April 13, 2007, long-running British gothic metal leaders PARADISE LOST will release the first single taken off their much-anticipated upcoming Century Media Records debut "In Requiem", which sees the band combine the classic heaviness of "Draconian Times" with the melodic feel of their more recent studio albums. The new single, "The Enemy", will only be released in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

"In Requiem" was produced by Rhys Fulber (who already produced the last two PARADISE LOST albums as well as releases by FEAR FACTORY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, etc.) and mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, AEROSMITH, METALLICA, etc.).

Vocalist Nick Holmes on the new masterpiece: "We wanted to make a heavier, darker PARADISE LOST album. But it was also important to write songs that encompass the melody that has become very much an integral part of our music over the last 10 years."

Greg Mackintosh (lead guitar) adds: "The album, 'In Requiem', is a very conscious decision by us to take our sound in a more raw, organic, less polished direction. Musically, it is about finding the balance between brutality and empathy, between horror and beauty. Neither a celebration nor a lamentation. Simply the emotions that arise, being surrounded by life and death."

"In Requiem" will be released in Europe on May 21 (June 5 in North America).

The single "The Enemy" includes a trailer for the upcoming PARADISE LOST documentary "Over the Madness" (directed by Diran Noubar and debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2007) as a video enhancement and the exclusive non-album track "Godless".

"The Enemy" track listing:

01. The Enemy
02. Beneath Black Skies
03. Godless (exclusive single bonus track)
