PARADISE LOST – “Ascension”
Ascension to Paradise Lost
PARADISE LOST
“Ascension“
Album (Nuclear Blast)
Release: September 19, 2025
The tone is set from the very first minute! A dark, ominous melody that only Greg Mackintosh can master, a crushing riff and a rumbling scream. With “Serpent on the Cross”, the Englishmen open their 17th studio album furiously. It continues just as powerfully. Twelve songs that are bursting with the very ingredients that have made the Brits the guarantors of success that they have been for more than 30 years. Brutal riffs, deeply sad melodies and, above all, the vocal power of Nick Holmes, who also displays his complete diversity on this album and switches effortlessly between screaming and melancholic singing.
