DEATH UNITES PARADISE LOST

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 at 11:00am by

We haven’t spent nearly enough time here talking about Paradise Lost’s excellent new album Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us; actually, we haven’t spent any time talking about it here. And none of you have emailed or commented to excoriate us for this glaring omission. Shame on all of us.

Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us was recorded in Sweden with producer Jens Bogren, so you know it’s gonna sound delicious and luscious; the album drops on September 28 in Europe and October 6 in the States. The new video for the album’s title track is a weird / cool idea for a music video and it doesn’t feature the band playing in an abandoned warehouse, or playing anywhere for that matter — the band members don’t even appear in the video. Instead, there’s some creepy girl mouthing all the words of the song to the camera and some creepy guy cutting off her hair bit by bit. I was hoping for some kind of climax at the end, but perhaps the video is all the more unique for the lack of a cliched video ending. Watch it below.

    And lets not forget that Adrian Erlandson is finally in a band worth caring about.
