Ten awesome album updates – 5/16 | Metal Insider

03) Paradise Lost to release live album, At The Mill in July

Paradise Lost have announced they will release their November 2020 livestream, At the Mill as a live album on July 16th via Nuclear Blast (pre-order here). The event was captured at The Mill Nightclub in Yorkshire, England, and will be available in various formats, including CD, BluRay, and vinyl.

Guitarist Greg Mackintosh comments:

“Due to the ban on live music, we, like many other bands, have had to adapt and do something we never thought we’d have to do. No, not stacking shelves in Aldi like Metallica, but playing a show at a disused mill in Yorkshire with no one else there. We decided against trying to pretend there was an audience in the room with us, opting instead for a rather moribund version of a live lounge show. Whilst never being pleased with anything, we were however slightly less miserable at the result. It was also almost fun playing some of our new album Obsidian within the set for the first time too. We can now announce that we will be releasing this show as an official CD/Blu-Ray and vinyl imaginatively entitled At the Mill.”

04) Born of Osiris to release Angel Or Alien in July

Born of Osiris have announced their new album, Angel or Alien, will be released on July 2nd via Sumerian Records (pre-order here). To commemorate the announcement, the group has unveiled a music video for the title track.

Guitarist Lee McKinney comments:

“After what has been an extremely trying year for the world, we couldn’t be more excited to bring you our new album, Angel or Alien. We feel like we brought the best elements from each album in our discography and combined them into what you will hear on Angel or Alien. So, no matter what album you favor in our discography, this one should shine. We tried to refine and improve on each aspect that makes us Born of Osiris, and I think it’s apparent on this record.

The Angel or Alien music video was actually extremely challenging for the band and crew. We wanted to walk out into the desert where there were no footprints and find the right spot for the performance shots. I’m sure you can imagine everyone loading guitars, drums, cabs, cameras, power, etc. across the desert with each step you take sinking 6 inches into the sand. It all lead up to a moment I’ll never forget – everything set up on top of a dune in the desert, performing with my best friends and a great crew of amazing people filming, and looking over the desert in between takes as the sun set. I’ll never forget the moments we shared that day. I think I can speak for the band AND camera crew when I say that we truly hope you love the final product, it was both a challenge and a pleasure to create.”

Keyboardist and vocalist Joe Buras adds:

“There is a longing for connection. It’s not always easy and we crave it whether we know it or sometimes not. We get lost in thought at times but we always have to end up facing the world, exposed to the earth. You can shine like an Angel or hide like an Alien. Either way your heart and time are going towards the future and the end.”
