by David E. Gehlke
This mighty tome is built around in-depth interviews with the core members of the pioneering English group PARADISE LOST: Greg Mackintosh, Nick Holmes, Aaron Aedy and Steve Edmondson, as well as past members Matthew 'Tuds' Archer, Lee Morris and Adrian Erlandsson.
Together with their insights, Gehlke follows the group through the highs and lows of their remarkable 30 year career in detailed and candid fashion, exploring their musical shifts and the challenges of keeping the band alive.
The book includes illustrations and photos throughout, many exclusive, and features additional written contributions from those who have worked most closely with the band, including their producers, insiders at labels such as Peaceville, Music for Nations and Century Media, and members of such iconic bands as MY DYING BRIDE, ANATHEMA, KATATONIA, BLOODBATH, WITHIN TEMPTATION and SEPTICFLESH, not to mention a foreword from BOLT THROWER / MEMORIAM frontman Karl Willetts.
This extended edition features over 80 pages of additional text, including a new chapter, historical interviews, and a new colour photo gallery.
