\"Paradise<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no doubt in my mind that this evening at the ancient Roman theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria with Yorkshire\u2019s own Paradise Lost and the local philharmonic orchestra must have been a very special one for those who had the good fortune of being present. Although they have oftentimes incorporated orchestral elements in their music, it\u2019s the first time Nick Holmes and cohort actually play live on stage with an orchestra, so you can imagine how chuffed the genre defining band must have been.<\/p>\n

After something many consider a bit of a dip around 1999, Paradise Lost made a strong return to form with \u2018Paradise Lost\u2019 in 2005, and the past decade has seen the band unleashing a series of great albums, recently with \u2018The Plague Within\u2019 from earlier this year. I reckon \u2018Symphony for the Lost\u2019 is Paradise Lost yet again seeking new boundaries for what they can and can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n

\u2018So, can they do this \u2013 can they really pull this one off?\u2019 you might wonder. Yes, I\u2019d say they can. Over the years, Paradise Lost have built a strong repertoire, a collection of great songs, and that\u2019s really what counts, no matter how many layers of orchestra you put on top of them.<\/p>\n

Did all Metallica songs work out perfectly on \u2018S&M\u2019? No, they didn\u2019t. Do all PL songs work out perfectly with an orchestra? No, not necessarily. No matter, fact is that songs like Soul Courageous, Tragic Idol, Last Regret and Gothic are huge, orchestra or not. The philharmonic orchestra are in my view just topping, an extra schwung.<\/p>\n

Are there songs that definitely don\u2019t work? Yeah, Joys of Emptiness. It sounds horrendous, but that\u2019s due to Nick\u2019s inability to hit the notes. That is in general a bit of a problem, but not as obvious in other songs as it is in this one. Old Nick is first and foremost as grunter, not a Ronnie James Dio.<\/p>\n

On the second disc, Paradise Lost lose the orchestra and simply play a regular set. That\u2019s great too. This is simply a list of strong PL songs as we know them.<\/p>\n

\u2018Symphony for the Lost\u2019 is not a new fan\u2019s introduction to Paradise Lost. This is a curiosity for us old fans, a bit like a fun experiment with a bunch of great songs. Enjoyable indeed, but only because these are songs I love from a band I adore.<\/p>\n

\u2018Symphony For The Lost\u2019 will be available as 2CD+DVD deluxe edition with 48-page booklet and as a double LP+DVD with 16-page booklet.<\/p>\n
