Paradise Lost are a gothic metal band that formed in 1988 in Halifax, England and are considered by some to be one of the pioneers of the death/doom genre and of the gothic metal genre.Paradise Lost has proven to be an influential band, with Jonas Renkse of Katatonia saying that his band started off "as Paradise Lost fanboys".
Their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Nick Holmes, guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. Holmes and Mackintosh are the principal composers, with almost all of the band's songs credited to them. During the years, the band has only changed drummers.
Nick Holmes - vocals (1988– present)
Nicholas John Arthur Holmes (born January 7, 1971), is a musician from Halifax, West Yorkshire, best known as the frontman in the British Gothic metal/Doom metal band Paradise Lost and Swedish death metal band Bloodbath.
Holmes formed Paradise Lost in late 1988 when he and the other band members were barely out of secondary school. Like other contemporaries of the British Death/doom metal scene (Anathema and My Dying Bride), the band began purely as death metal, with Holmes utilising a low, guttural death grunt on the Morbid Existence demo and Lost Paradise full length. On their definitive early albums, his vocals were more inclined to a raw but decipherable bellow, with a "goth rock croon" soon accompanying the band's more recent electronic musical direction. Finnish singer of the band Amorphis, Tomi Joutsen, has been partially compared to Holmes.
In September 2014, it was officially announced that Holmes had replaced Mikael Åkerfeldt as the vocalist in the Swedish death metal band Bloodbath.
