It’s a sunny April afternoon in Kings Cross, London but that doesn’t stop the hoards of Gothic Metal fans descending upon The Scala to witness the masters of the genre they created, Paradise Lost. I arrived at the venue fairly early at 6pm although the doors were not due to open until 7:30 but already there were people beginning to queue at the entrance as well as a few audience members who I could see had taken advantage of the VIP ticket option whereby you get a meet and greet with the band earlier in the day and exclusive merchandise, etc.
