Paradise Lost announce European tour

Paradise Lost have announced a European tour for later this year.

The dates will take place throughout September, October and November, with the UK outfit lining up the shows in support of their upcoming 15th studio album titled Medusa.

They’ll be joined on the road by Pallbearer and Sinistro.

No firm release date for the follow-up to 2015’s The Plague Within has been revealed yet, but lead guitarist and songwriter Greg Mackintosh checked in last month to tell fans what they could expect.

He said: “The new album will be slower, sludgier and more doom filled than ever before. Eight riff-laden monster tracks of sheer Northern misery.”

Paradise Lost have been working on Medusa at Orgone Studios, England, with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano.

Before the autumn tour gets underway, Paradise Lost have several festival appearances scheduled over the summer. Find a full list of their tour dates below.
