Very few bands can genuinely claim to be true pioneers in their field, creators of a sub-genre which remains at the forefront of today's Rock and Metal scene, years after its conception. In today's disposable, trend-driven climate, where bands are interchangable and come and go in the blink of an eye, even fewer are able to reach the ten-album milestone, while still remaining ahead of their contemporaries and true to their vision. Yet as Paradise Lost prepare for the UK and US release of their self-titled tenth album, their legacy arguably remains as relevant as ever. Lead guitarist Gregor Mackintosh took the time, after recovering from serious illness, to talk to Metal Temple about their ever-evolving career, the new record and their future plans.
