Medusa was really good. I'll give a few more albums a shot tomorrow.

You'll hear bits in Medusa that are closer to their more pure gothic material, but overall it's back to death-doom. Actually, I find it a more pure death-doom metal affair than Shades of God.
The more I listen to Medusa the more I think that the single Blood and Chaos is even a bit melodeath. Edited by adg211288 - 25 Sep 2017 at 1:21pm |

I enjoyed Draconian Times but it didn't blow me away. Moving onto Medusa.
Sounds like a completely different band already. |

I'll give Draconian Times a go first.

It's the closest, but you so start getting a few gothic metal elements even that early.

Listened to the debut, and I loved it. Is Gothic of similar style?

They did, but eventually came back from it, especially on the most recent two where Nick switched back to growling as his main style.

Anything from Gothic to Draconian Times would be a good start. Lost Paradise has more death metal elements than the other albums, and after Draconian Times they went a bit... mainstream?

It used to be Shades of God, Icon or Draconian Times, but I'm a total Gothic convert now. Haven't really kept up since One second, because that was getting too far away from what I liked.

I've heard of them for a long time, but never gotten around to listening to them. I should fix that.

Well I'm still new to the band myself but I'd say Medusa or Shades of God would be a good ones to offer a 'best of both worlds' sound. If you'd prefer them more heavily in death-doom territory then I'd say Gothic. Or for gothic metal, Draconian Times or In Requiem, which was one of the first I had from them earlier this year. It's only grown on me since getting more into the band. I find it a very heavy gothic metal album.

I don't know much about this band. What would be a good introductory album?

Having got both Gothic and Shades of God just today I do have to say I prefer the latter, at least on first impressions. Gothic may grow on me but I found Shades of God to be a much more varied release.

I´m really into Medusa too at the moment, and it is indeed a great album. I was a huge fan of Paradise Lost in the early days, and if I have to pick a favorite it would be between Gothic and Shades of God. I´m not 100% sure, but I´m actually leaning towards Shades of God. Both are pretty Unique sounding releases though.

A band I've been really enjoying lately. Paradise Lost are an early entry in the canon of both death-doom metal and gothic metal. They played the former on their first three albums and have made a surprise return to it on their recent material, but are best known for their gothic metal work, especially the albums Icon and Draconian Times.
Typically I prefer doom metal over gothic metal, but I like both sounds from this band. I've had the albums One Second and In Requiem for a while, but it was only with Medusa that I became a major fan of their work. Their albums tend to be affordable, so I've managed to pick up the bulk of their discography already. I've heard so far: Lost Paradise Gothic Icon Draconian Times One Second In Requiem The Plague Within Medusa And I have on CD still to listen to: Shades of God Paradise Lost Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us + Tragic Idol still in the post somewhere. So far I would point to probably Medusa as my favourite but that may be because it's basically the album that really made me a fan of them, so could change as I get to know the back catalogue some more. I also regard Draconian Times and In Requiem highly out of the gothic metal material. Vote for your favourite album on the poll and share some love for the band in the comments.
