Host. That’s the name of the new project, formed by Paradise Lost members Greg Mackintosh and Nick Holmes. This interesting project will release its debut album, “IX”, on February 24, 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records. The first music video of Host, directed and produced by Ash Pears of AshTV, has been released, it is for the first single “Tomorrow’s Sky”.
Mackintosh comments: “Host is something that I had in mind for a few years but never had the time to do it justice until now. It’s taking the concept of what we attempted to do on the Paradise Lost album ‘Host’ but approaching it in a modern context. It’s part ’80s goth, part electro, part rock but none of them specifically. The emphasis is on hooks and atmosphere. It’s quite a challenge to make miserable music catchy and hopefully we’ve achieved that to some degree”.
