British gothic metallers PARADISE LOST will release their 11th album, "In Requiem", in the U.S. on June 5 via Century Media Records. The artwork for the CD was created by Seth Siro Anton, who was the artwork designer for the group's last album, "Paradise Lost". The CD was produced by Rhys Fulber (FEAR FACTORY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY) and mixed by Mike Fraser (SLIPKNOT) and marks a return to their heavy trademark sound. "The melancholic atmosphere is as oppressive as ever, but this go round the gloom is fused with an equal amount of dense, punishing riffs," according to a press release.

As previously reported, PARADISE LOST has been confirmed as the support act for NIGHTWISH on their upcoming North American tour. The trek will be only PARADISE LOST's third visit to the U.S. after previously supporting MORBID ANGEL and OPETH.

Commented PARADISE LOST singer Nick Holmes: "We can't wait to get to the U.S. on a great tour, and try and make an impact after years of focusing on Europe."

PARADISE LOST will play an exclusive show in London at Camden's Koko on April 12. The band will perform songs from across their ten-album career which will be filmed for the definitive DVD, entitled "From Gothic to Paradise Lost", to be released later this year.

Commented Nick Holmes: "We're all really excited to be playing this show at Koko. After playing so many venues in our career it'll be cool to play a different venue. It's going be a really special show as we're playing songs spanning our whole career and hopefully we'll be able to play something very new for you. The show will be filmed for our new DVD so you'd better get those lighters ready! Come along — it should be a night to remember."

G.U.N./ Sony/BMG in Europe and Abacus Recordings in the U.K. and the U.S released the band's last album, "Paradise Lost".
