412 black and white pages, paperback

Paperback edition of the popular 2022 Cult Never Dies expanded Paradise Lost biography. Contents are the same as the previous hardback edition minus the colour gallery pages, hence the lower price.

Created by author David E. Gehlke, this mighty tome is built around in-depth interviews with the core members of this pioneering English group, Greg Mackintosh, Nick Holmes, Aaron Aedy and Steve Edmondson – as well as past members Matthew ‘Tuds’ Archer, Lee Morris and Adrian Erlandsson. Together with their insights the author follows the group through the highs and lows of their remarkable 30 year career in detailed and candid fashion, exploring their musical shifts and the challenges of keeping the band alive for over three decades. 

The book includes illustrations and photos throughout, many exclusive, and features additional written contributions from those who have worked most closely with the band. This includes their producers, insiders at labels such as Peaceville, Music for Nations and Century Media, and members of such iconic bands as My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia, Bloodbath, Within Temptation and Septicflesh, not to mention a foreword from Bolt Thrower/Memoriam frontman Karl Willetts.
