Diran Noubar’s new powerful documentary "Over The Madness" about PARADISE LOST provides unique
insights on a rock band and the emergence of the "Gothic Metal" movement. The film’s World Premiere was
held at the Cannes Film Festival’s Market in May 2007 followed by a German Premiere at the Wave Gotik
Festival in Leipzig the same month.
In 2008, Paradise Lost are celebrating their 20th anniversary and this documentary shows perfectly why they
are still one of the most influential bands of their genre. Along with country mates Anathema and My Dying
Bride, the band - named after John Milton's epic 1667 poem - is credited for pioneering Gothic Metal.
Throughout years of creative challenging and musical experimentation, PARADISE LOST have persisted in
delivering a densely evocative and richly textured brand of metal. Creating a cult-following in many countries
around the world, they have released commercially successful musical masterpieces, selling over two millions
records. Today, their influence still clearly transpires in the sound of most Gothic and Heavy Metal bands. The
band’s latest release, "In Requiem", entered the charts in several countries (Germany # 12, UK Rock charts #
7, Finland # 19, France # 43, Sweden # 33, Greece # 6, etc.).
Noubar achieves an in-depth analysis of the topic he addresses with "Over The Madness". Through first-hand
accounts from the band themselves and many other dramatically influential acts, he follows the band from
their native Halifax, UK to tour stops in Greece and Mexico, where they are regarded as rock "gods". All
current and ex-band members are interviewed to give a multi-angled insight in the band’s history.
Contemporaries like LACUNA COIL, Alex Skolnick from TESTAMENT, Lee Dorrian from CATHEDRAL, Mark
‘Barney’ Greenway from NAPALM DEATH, Mille Petrozza from KREATOR, Martin Eric Ain from CELTIC
FROST and Aaron Stainthorpe from MY DYING BRIDE also pay tribute to their friends in the movie. The
2DVD set will be released through Century Media Records in Europe on November 26th, 2007.
