In support of their forthcoming album release In Requiem on Century Media, the godfathers of Gothic Metal Paradise Lost announce a special guest slot supporting Nightwish on their autumn tour. The tour will only be the band's third visit to the US after previously supporting Morbid Angel and Opeth.

Paradise Lost's 11th album In Requiem, scheduled for a June 5 release in the U.S., was produced by Rhys Fulber (Fear Factory, Front Line Assembly) and mixed by Mike Frazer (Slipknot) and marks a return to their heavy trademark sound. The melancholic atmosphere is as oppressive as ever, but this go round the gloom is fused with an equal amount of dense, punishing riffs. Never ones to rest on their laurels, the U.K. goth originators bring something new to the table with each successive album and In Requiem is no exception.



With a career spanning over 17 years, Paradise Lost has built a loyal European fan base, but has not had much opportunity to treat their North American audience to a tour befitting of their allegiance until now. Hitting destinations both east and west, the group looks forward to bringing the gloom with fellow European chart-toppers Nightwish.

Commented Nick Holmes (vocals): "We can't wait to get to the US on a great tour and try and make an impact after years of focusing on Europe."
