The British gothic metal group called Paradise Lost was founded in 1988 in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and are credited with helping to establish the death-doom genre and serving as the primary inspiration for the later gothic metal movement. More than two million Paradise Lost records had been sold globally as of 2005.

Before signing with Peaceville Records in 1989, Paradise Lost issued three cassette demos following their creation in 1988: “Paradise Lost”, “Frozen Illusion”, and “Plains of Desolation”. In December of same year, they recorded “Lost Paradise”, their debut album, at Academy Music Studio. February 1990 saw the release of the album. Paradise Lost went back to the Academy Music Studio in November 1990 to record “Gothic”, their second album, which came out in March 1991. With the addition of keyboards and female vocal accompaniments, the band started to depart from the death/doom sound of their earlier recordings.
