PARADISE LOST „Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us”
Having churned out a storied discography that has seen its fair share of ill received albums, Paradise Lost are in fine form with this year's embittered Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us. The title a not-so-subtle swipe at organized religions divisive effect on humanity, the lyrical fare on this twelfth album does spread itself across a broader messageor should it be messages? For the heartbreaking opener As Horizons End, Nick Holmes deep vocals sweeps the listener away with its earnest emotion while the lyrics moan about personal shortcomings. When its done, the band go a shade darker for its follow up I Remain then let loose the melodic fireworks on the soaring First Light. The somber ride continues on Frailty that arrives before a passable title track churns for a few good minutes.
