Gothic (Paradise Lost album)

Gothic is the second studio album by British heavy metal band Paradise Lost. The album, which was mostly received as death-doom[1][2] when it was released in March 1991 on Peaceville Records, is in retrospect considered style-defining and name-giving for the genre of gothic metal.[3][4][5]

Remixed/live versions of the songs "Eternal", "Gothic" and "The Painless" appear on the 2003 digipak re-release of Lost Paradise.
