Paradise Lost recording new album titled Tragic Idol, release date set

Paradise Lost have announced that they are currently in the studio recording their thirteenth studio album. Gregor Mackintosh (lead guitar) had this to say: “We are currently holed up in The Chapel studios in Lincolnshire, England recording our new album which is entitled ‘Tragic Idol’. The album will again be produced by Jens Bogren and is influenced by classic doom metal and classic metal. I would say it is more melodic than the last record whilst retaining the heaviness. There are lots of guitar solos and melodies. The album will contain such track titles as ‘Honesty in Death’, ‘Theories from Another World’, ‘In this We Dwell’ and the title track ‘Tragic Idol’.”

The band have already set a release date for the album via Century Media Records with Europe receiving the album on 23rd April 2012 and North America the following day on the 24th.
