Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire in 1988 & are known for being the founders of the Gothic Death/Doom Metal genre; a style fully brought into existence with their genre-defining second album, the highly influential ?Gothic?. 

Having released 2 albums, including ?Gothic?, for the UK?s Peaceville Records & later helping to establish Peaceville as home to the finest trio of UK doom bands (alongside My Dying Bride & Anathema), Paradise Lost then signed with fellow UK label, Music For Nations which eventually led to the band breaking through to mainstream rock & metal audiences as their style evolved. 

?One Second?, the band?s sixth album, was originally released in 1997 on the Music For Nations label & became a big hit for the band, even entering the top 10 in the German charts upon release. The album was recorded at Battery Studios & Rockfield Studios with producer Ulf "Sank" Sandqvist, & was notable for featuring more streamlined gothic rock tracks & a large portion of electronic elements, while still retaining the trademark Paradise Lost guitar style. The album was a great success, as was the single, ?Say Just Words?, as featured on ?One Second?. 

 

This edition of ?One Second? is a double LP on heavyweight black vinyl, with gatefold sleeve & is numbered to 2000 copies.
