The Top Ten

9 Paradise Lost Paradise Lost are a gothic metal band that formed in 1988 in Halifax, England and are considered by some to be one of the pioneers of the death/doom genre and of the gothic metal genre.

Gothic is one of the most atmospheric and emotional doom metal albums ever made. There are moments of elation, but they coupled with moments of pure down tuned depressive doom. A beautiful album and the best Paradise Lost ever made.
