PARADISE LOST (UK)

Paradise Lost is the obvious Icon of the world's gothic-rock music - does anyone dare to deny? During 17 years of successful career the band released 10 studio LPs, sold more than 2 million records and played hundreds of gigs all over the Globe. The living legend of the world of the Gothic music intensively works to bring you the successor to 2007's 'In Requiem'. We're happy to announce that the guitar parts on the new album will be recorded using Mayones guitars exclusively!   "I haven't stopped smiling since I first opened the case... Beyond even my high expectations, a true beauty" - Aaron describes his new beauties.

It was 1991 when a young band called Paradise Lost released their full-length album 'Gothic', which quickly became determinant of the new quality in metal music. For almost two decades bands and genres raised and fell but the founders of the Gothic metal style are still here - loved by myriads fans and respected by music press. The band recorded several distinguishing albums and played numerous concerts at scenes of most important festivals of the whole World, influencing countless minds and hearts of different styles and generations...

We were there when Paradise Lost celebrated their 20th Anniversary in September 2008 in London and after the show was over we had a chance to meet with all the band members and to discuss the details of the new guitars for Greg, already owning three Mayo axes, and Aaron, a new member of May-players family. Welcome on board!

After intensive discussions about configuration that would suit Aaron's demands, he decided to go for pitch-black Regius 7 with Mahogany body, Seymour Duncan Blackout 7 pickups and reversed trapezoid markers. "I haven't stopped smiling since I first opened the case... Beyond even my high expectations, a true beauty" - Aaron describes his new beauties.
