by Matthias Mineur (10/02) Very nearly, Paradise Lost had lost all the reward they deserved in all the years. With great rock albums, like "Draconian Times", "Icon" or "One Second" somewhere in the golden middle between Gothic, Heavy Rock and Metal, singer Nick Holmes and guitarist Gregor Mackintosh had come to a massive fan base.
