"The Rise Of Denial", the new video from U.K. gothic metal pioneers

"Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us", which registered the following first-week chart positions:

The limited formats of this landmark gothic metal opus include two orchestral versions of the album tracks

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in July 2008.
The limited-edition deluxe two-CD includes special packaging (DVD-sized Mediabook with O-Card in a special leather look) and a bonus track,
"Cardinal Zero", on Disc 1 plus a separate bonus CD featuring the
"Lost In Prague" tracks. All vinyl lovers will be delighted to hear that the album is available as a limited-edition gatefold LP, including the bonus track
"Cardinal Zero", the orchestra mixes on a separate bonus 7" EP, the entire album on CD (in a blank sleeve), and an exclusive poster.
The highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's
"In Requiem",
"Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" was recorded at
Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with producer
Jens Bogren.
The album's artwork, which is based upon a
"Danse Macabre" woodcut by
Hans Holbein the Younger (first published in 1538), was created by
Stefan Wibbeke at
Medialogistics (
LACUNA COIL,
POISONBLACK).
PARADISE LOST was forced to postone six shows on its current European tour due to a serious illness within guitarist
Greg Mackintosh's family.
