PARADISE LOST - Tyrants Serenade Reaction | The Dark Side of Metal, Perfected

The legends of gothic metal are back! Today, I’m reacting to PARADISE LOST – “Tyrants Serenade”, the crushing new single from their upcoming album Ascension, set for release August 15, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. From the moment those haunting melodies kick in, this track oozes everything we love about Paradise Lost — brooding atmosphere, powerful riffs, and Nick Holmes delivering those unmistakable vocals. The music video, directed by Ash Pears, leans into dark, cinematic visuals that perfectly match the song’s dramatic weight. As someone who’s been diving deep into gothic metal lately, I couldn’t wait to hit record on this one. You’ll see my genuine first-time reaction as we break down the atmosphere, the production, and that incredible chorus that feels like it could echo through the halls of a ruined cathedral. We’ll also talk about where this track sits alongside previous singles, how it builds hype for Ascension, and why Paradise Lost continue to be one of the most important names in the genre after decades in the game. If you enjoy heavy, emotive, and cinematic metal, you’re going to want to check this one out — and stick around for my thoughts at the end where I give it my rating. ⚫ Watch the official video here: https://nblast.de/TyrantsSerenade ⚫ Pre-order Ascension: https://paradiselost.bfan.link/ascens... 📅 Ascension is out August 15, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. ‪@paradiselostuk‬ #paradiselost #gothicmetal #reactionvideo #metalreaction #tyrantsserenade #ascensionalbum #nuclearblastrecords 🍻 JOIN THE BREW-CREW ON DISCORD:   / discord   🍻 Hang out with fellow metalheads, share tunes, talk gigs, beers & all things heavy!
