In Requiem marks a powerful return to Paradise Lost’s heavier, doom-rooted gothic metal origins after years of experimenting with lighter, electronic sounds. Blending dark, crushing riffs with soaring melodic guitar solos and atmospheric keys, the album balances heaviness and beauty. Its first half leans into doom-laden weight, while the second explores a catchier, rock-tinged side. Standout tracks like “Never for the Damned” and “Requiem” showcase impressive guitar work and emotionally charged vocals. A mature, dynamic, and memorable release from genre pioneers still pushing creative boundaries.
