Paradise Lost by Staos
Paradise Lost was written and completed as a full ten minute piece by Giuliano Macri and Jeffrey Anderson in late 2016. Aspiring to develop a dark ambient piece, they were eventually persuaded by their love for Metal music, to take the elements of metal and ambience they loved most and create what you are hearing today. Guest vocals were written and recorded by none other then Ilija of Perth black metal outfit, "Illyria".
"Paradise Lost has been a huge undertaking for us as band. Our goal was to deliver something from the heart; a truly memorable experience for our fans, friends, and family. We personally felt compelled, and inspired, to bring something of this magnitude to everyones ears and we feel we have achieved this goal. So, behold.
Staos would like to extend deep appreciation towards our friends and family for their encouragement and support. We would also like to thank Ilija of Illyria for his guest vocals on the album, and the time he has taken to orchestrate them and coordinate with us. Lastly, we would like to thank you; the listener. Without you, we are nothing more then silence."
