Paradise Lost Featured On Decibel Magazine’s June Cover

As torchbearers of the gothic/doom metal scene, PARADISE LOST has seen much success overseas in Europe, but they have yet to break into the mainstream in the States, despite having influenced countless bands across metal's many sub-genres. To celebrate their influential role in the scene and to welcome the upcoming release of their 13th studio album, Tragic Idol, on April 24th in North America and April 23rd in Europe, Decibel Magazine will be featuring PARADISE LOST, "metal's most underrated band", as the cover story for their June issue (out in May).

In this special issue, Decibel subscribers will also receive the previously announced PARADISE LOST gold-on-black flexi disc for the exclusive b-side "The Last Fallen Saviour". To listen to the track, head over to Metal Sucks.net.

Decibel Magazine 's June issue with PARADISE LOST on the cover will be available for advance purchase soon, so stay tuned for more information about how to get your hands on this tribute to gothic/doom metal's "Shadow Kings"!

In the meantime, PARADISE LOST fans can listen to Tragic Idol in its entirety before the album's North American release tomorrow. Please visit Decibel Magazine.com for the exclusive stream:

Produced by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio in Germany, KRISIUN's recently released The Great Execution musically expands upon the death metal trio's trademark high-speed death metal with an increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars---and even Flamenco parts! KRISIUN also used only analog gear and instruments while recording this album to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today.

Read on for a few reviews of KRISIUN's new death metal masterpiece!

"This is precision brutality with a touch of class and an incredible amount of heart. Put more simply, this is KRISIUN on steroids." -- BLABBERMOUTH.NET (US), 8.5/10

"KRISIUN show no signs of stopping, and eight records into their career, they're as potent as ever. 'The Great Execution' proves this point and stands as another strong entry in an already molten collection." -- LAMBGOAT.COM (US), 8/10

"None more brutal, but now with a dense atmosphere of otherworldly foreboding setting them apart from their myriad peers." -- METAL HAMMER (UK), 8/10

"This album restored my faith in death metal...Highly recommended." -- MOLTEN MAGAZINE (UK), 4/5
