Paradise Lost has a couple of good causes as to why it took 5 years between Obsidian in 2020 and Ascension in 2025. In line with Paradise Misplaced guitarist Greg Waterproof coat in an interview with New Noise Magazine, he had a handful of recent materials previous to the document that went into the trash: “I had about six or seven songs, and I simply scratched the whole thing as a result of I did not prefer it. It was the full mistaken vibe for me,” he remembers.
A yr later, after finishing a tour, he returned to the writing course of with a contemporary perspective. That break, he says, was important. “I believe it was the appropriate factor to do, as a result of my outlook had fully modified,” he stated, later added: “As a result of we scrapped the whole thing, after which went again to brass tacks, we really went again in time and thought in regards to the identify Paradise Misplaced from the e-book.”
A part of that shift got here from Paradise Misplaced‘s determination to re-record their basic Icon album, a undertaking that unexpectedly reshaped how Waterproof coat thought of music. “I believe it was the appropriate factor to do, as a result of my outlook had fully modified,” stated Waterproof coat. “[It] modified my outlook on songwriting slightly bit and guitar taking part in. It took me again to a mode that I hadn’t actually thought of in a very long time, and I did not understand how a lot my type had modified through the years.”
