5.0 out of 5 stars another well crafted death/doom album !
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020

I've never been a huge PL fan but I've always respected the quality of their output . I've always favored My Dying Bride ( and still do ) but Paradise Lost have caught my ear with their past three albums . The bonus tracks on the digipak are two of the best songs . The band have added a few nuances to make the album fresh and are experts at their craft . I wouldn't say I like this more than Medusa or The Plague Within but it's the third home run for Paradise Lost . Obsidean is a seamless blend of gothic rock , death metal and doom ; the production is excellent . Check out the awesome new Godthrymnn album , too !

5.0 out of 5 stars Best PL album in a long time

I think this is their best effort since 2007's In Requiem. While I liked a handful of songs off Medusa I thought that was their weakest album since way back to Shades of God. Due to that my expectations were a bit subdued but I should have known to never doubt one of the best bands!

This is a step up from Medusa and a return to the sound PL is noted for. To say that the band is Goth-Doom is simply to pigeonhole them. They have a unique sound that speaks for itself. Not a bad track here.

The second Doom and death metal inspired band to get a perfect score this year. Paradise Lost comes from a different angle than Katatonia did but still manages to astound. Great atmosphere and vibe.

Vaya que sufri para conseguirlo, esta a un precio descomunal, arriba de $500 carisimo, de hecho varios discos hoy dia estan a precios fuera de lo razonable y ya cada vez mas dificil es comprar alguno; total, espere a black friday o al buen fin y al menos obtuve un 20%.
Para mi este fue el mejor disco del 2020, si te gusta y conoces a Paradise Lost, es un recorrido por su historia y su estilo plasmado en nuevas canciones, buenisimo; si este fuera el ultimo disco de ellos se irian por la puerta grande.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Paradise Lost album in a long time
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2020

Here's the bar; my favourite metal album of recent times is Architects' Holy Hell so will Paradise Lost's latest offering be able to steal that accolade? Well, I'm quite "happy" (note, this isn't a happy album!) to put this at the top of Paradise Lost's recent output - it's definitely their best album in long time, so that's a good start. It combines the doom of recent albums with the 80s goth references of earlier albums and also (similarly to the aforementioned Architects album) combines both the clean vocal style of 1990s Paradise Lost with the gruff, growls of their last few albums to good effect. In fact the whole album does a very good job of combining pretty much every face of Paradise Lost (with the exception of their "Host" incarnation) into one album. Don't get me wrong, it's by no means an incoherent compilation of styles, every track on the album feels like it belongs there (except perhaps for the two additional tracks on the limited edition version which bring nothing new to the party and were clearly left off the album for a reason) and the album as a whole gels excellently, but don't buy this album expecting a re-run of One Second although if you listen close enough you might just be able to hear references to it but they are few and far between - despite Nick's occasional return to clean vocals, this is a dark and heavy album.

So, back to my initial challenge, has Obsidian knocked Architects' Holy Hell off the top spot of my favourite metal albums of recent years? It is a good album, a very good album in fact and I'd say the best Paradise Lost album of the last 10 years, and one that I'm no doubt going to be coming back to for a long time, and so I'd say it has the potential to do so.

Après un Medusa qui m'avait laissé un peu sur ma faim avec une empreinte un peu trop orientée "death/doom" à mon goût, j'ai retrouvé l'entrain que me procure habituellement ce groupe mythique.
Si Draconian Times reste pour moi l'album le plus réussi, nul doute qu'avec Obsidian les fans du groupe vont s'y retrouver car cet album fait à la fois preuve d'une grande maîtrise dans l'écriture des titres mais aussi d'une grande maturité, un peu comme un aboutissement ou un album que l'on peut qualifier de "Joyau" dans la carrière d'un groupe (cela tombe bien, l'obsidienne est justement une roche vitreuse d’origine volcanique).
A une époque où 99% des groupes du genre se ressemblent et ne font qu'hurler dans le micro en balançant quelques riffs bien sentis, Paradise Lost est loin... très loin devant. Alors oui, ils ont eux aussi commencé à hurler dans un micro au fond d'une cave en sortant des sons parfois assez cinglants mais au fil des années, leur musique a évolué, ils ont expérimenté des sons un peu nouveaux, exploré de nouvelles pistes, sont allés là où ils voulaient aller, sans jamais renier leur esprit de départ. Si comme moi vous suivez ce groupe depuis plus de 20 ans, cet album vise en plein dans le mille car il emprunte des sonorités ayant fait le succès de leurs albums mythiques (Icon, Draconian Times, One Second...) et fait raisonner une nouvelle fois la corde brutale et la corde sensible qui nous compose.
"Darker Thoughts" ouvre le bal d'une manière assez déconcertante en assumant pleinement un brin de nostalgie (il faut dire que le quatuor a quelques années d'expérience sous le pied) et très vite on retrouve cette signature PL, reconnaissable entre mille, avec toujours une maîtrise bluffante.
Après cette délicate entrée en matière, "Falls from Grace" vous frappe comme un coup de massue et s'installe de manière sûre dans vos oreilles comme une balade au refrain et aux sonorités entêtantes.
Maintenant c'est l'heure de coucher les enfants et d'écouter "Ghosts"... et là vous commencez à prendre conscience que cet album va vous laisser une marque indélébile et ce combo batterie/gratte fonctionne à la perfection (quelqu'un a parlé de Jesus Christ !?). On poursuit avec un titre en apparence un peu plus calme avec "The Devil Embraced" mais au cas où vous l'auriez oublié vous êtes entre les mains des pionniers du gothic metal et vous comprendrez vite qu'ils vont à nouveau vous embarquer dans un truc qu'ils maîtrisent à la perfection. Bien que "Forsaken" soit à mon sens un poil trop répétitif, il recèle quelques passages bien sentis. "Serenity", sorte de rouleau compresseur qui vous martèle sans fin, vous fera vite comprendre qu'il n'y a pas d'issue.
Sur "Ending Days", vous prendrez sans doute conscience que Nick Holmes a également fait sa part du boulot et a sacrément gagné en maturité au niveau du chant. Alors oui, sur scène il a parfois des prestations en dents de scie, mais j'ai toujours pensé que c'était un bon chanteur et il le démontre une fois de plus à travers l'ensemble des titres qui composent cet album. L'indéboulonnable (et tant mieux !) Gregor Mackintosh n'est pas en reste sur ce titre et son travail de sape raisonnera longtemps dans vos oreilles.
"Hope Dies Young" aux sonorités faussement pop rock ne vous remontera pas pour autant le moral et vous laissera emprunt d'un brin de nostalgie. "Ravenghast" revient au doom primaire et aurait pu, à défaut d'avoir trouvé place sur Medusa, trouver sa place dans une BO de film à vous filer les chocottes.
Pour finir, les très mélodiques "Hear the Night" et "Defiler" concluent l'album de fort belle manière et vous rappellent qui sont les patrons du genre.
Je profite également de cette critique pour souligner la très bonne prestation du jeune batteur Waltteri Väyrynen qui ne fait que conforter sa position au sein du groupe, je ne suis d'ailleurs pas loin de penser que c'est probablement le meilleur batteur que PL n'ai jamais eu ! Il faut dire que ce jeune homme a été à bonne école car il a été bercé durant sa plus tendre enfance par PL... Imaginez la consécration de rejoindre le groupe qui tournait en boucle lorsqu'il était adolescent !
