Dica de CD: “Gothic”, da banda inglesa “Paradise Lost”

“Locked inside this peaceful tomb. Entwined on seas of endless bliss. The painless… Strenght is released. The horror passes through our eyes…” – “The Painless”

O “Paradise Lost” é uma das bandas precursoras do chamado “Gothic Metal”, e por acrescentar vocais femininos junto com os tradicionais vocais guturais. No CD “Gothic” (1991), lançado no Brasil pela “Black Metal Attack Records”, Sarah Marrion foi a voz feminina em algumas músicas, contrastando com os urros guturais do vocalista e líder Nick Holmes. Completaram a formação desse álbum Gregor Mackintosh e Aaron Aedy (guitarras), além de Stephen Edmondson (baixo) e Matthew Archer (bateria).
Nesse disco, destaco uma música excepcional, daquelas que ficam guardadas na memória para sempre, e que curiosamente chama-se “Eternal” (a letra está reproduzida no final desse texto).

“Denying our restlessness. Frustrations tension eludes. The past was clean. Where thoughts were mild. The present day horrors alive. Slowly passing timeless horrors…” – “Gothic”

Track List:
“Gothic”, “Dead Emotion”, “Shattered”, “Rapture”, “Eternal”, “Falling Forever”, “Angel Tears”, “Silent”, “The Painless”, “Desolate”.

“Why can't we hear. The time must come for us to leave here. Emotion has withered away. Our burnt out love has decayed. Obsessed to leave the earth. Tragedy has overrun since birth. Now our righteous fathers weep. As we greet eternal sleep. Are we born to pass away? Cry at all that remains. "Chosen words" fail to sustain. The wisdom of powers heard. In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd. Now as hope and glory dies. We'll scream at our demise. Are we lost forever more? Now our righteous fathers weep. As we greet eternal sleep. Are we born to pass away?” – “Eternal”
