Feels like ages ago, feels like the band has been to the moon and back regarding changes in music during the best part of 30 years of existing. Stand out track(s): Fall From Grace/Ravenghast You both get what you expect and there are as always some moments of surprise on a Paradise Lost album. I cannot find a song I really dislike on it. The ending foursome of “Serenity”, “Ending Days”, “Hopes Die Young and “Ravenghast” goes more to a dreary, melancholic and gloomy side of Paradise Lost. What you can hear through this album is a stronger influence from that era regarding melodies and influence then I have been able to identify so clearly in previous releases from the group. “Forsaken” is a bit of a heavier number with melodies resembling eighties new Wave with a passion. What you get following on as we cross between influences via the Sisters of Mercy” smelling “Ghosts” and the collectively Paradise Lost-cliff Notes song “Devil Embraced” follows. Amazingly heavy riff and dark singing makes this song a future live favorite in my book. “Fall from Grace” takes our journey forward after that. The nice acoustic guitars and strings changes about 2 minutes in.

But just when you start thinking that this is a rather nice melancholic little piece, then your feet get pulled from under you. On this new release the delivery starts quite calm, for a while in the first song “Darker Thoughts”. Spanning over a long time (30-ish years) of releasing music the band has changed somewhat in their music. That to me is what Paradise Lost represent.
