Paradise Lost - Embers Fire

[kostasmetal13]

For me,in the 10 best songs of them!!FUCKING AWESOME!!

[korrdar]

Most underestimated song in metal history.

[V0odo0Channel]

Fucking, fucking, fucking GORGEOUS!!!!

[1971kearron]

one of the most original and best bands ever\m/

[MrHuddas]

OLD IS GOLD\,,/

[MrHuddas]

this never gets fucking old!!!!!!!!!

[TrephineArtist]

This is a timeless classic, both song & video.

[gromovoi100]

АХУИТЕЛЬНО!!!!!

[necromancerx1]

FUCKING AWESOME

[Khalev1979]

To bad it went downhill after this album imo, they sounded best in this album, just epic sound

[BHVampireLF]

THIS IS AWESOME.... Thanks...

[MrWvieiras]

good times

[girlmetalbr]

Uma das minhas músicas preferidas.

[Killzhere]

:D 

[gothmetaler1989]

I was listening to this tune while working out yesterday. Nick Holmes goes hard.

[nineinch1100]

I will forever love Paradise Lost

[ChristinaDarkRose]

For most metalheads it's Judas Priest,but for me the Metal Gods are Paradise Lost!!!!!!!

[stockpickeraem]

This song takes me to a time in my youth that changed alot of what being original and creavity can be achieved without trying to be a clone to society.

[MrDani3100]

Paradise lost <3



[ggKeca]

nick holmes is "The Pope" of metal fans, cuz of his lyrics

[Gopher70700]

Epic stuff, trendy crap is why these bands dont tour the states anymore.

[marebitomarebito]

4 people disliked this don't know what quality is in these useless times now

[Stahldonner]

musik for the soul... best band and from first till last album in development. GREAT!

I love them till the first album and i have all twelve

[CVargas]

The only song I like by them!

[ChristinaDarkRose]

@CVargas Are you out of your mind?

[MistressMitra]

Blast from my past! Still amazing.

[Anechoica]

One of the best metal songs ever

[killemall13A]

difficult to say but maybe their best song.

[MrJordang73]

This song was written by God the day He was deadly ill, thinking about terminating his days by transforming himself into music and poetry...Greg and Nick were passing by and took note.

[Incizz]

Embers Fire is in my top5 of Paradise Lost. Hallowed Land, As I Die, Embers Fire, Blood of Anotner, Enchantment... in my case, best album was Draconian Times (90 percent of material was perfect) :)

[armeniusfc]

by far their finest piece of work

[Dulcevita78]

fantastic song

[dannyvayner]

Remember they just released this album and performed in Tel Aviv (Ramat Gat) in 1993. That was the first song they played. That was the first time I saw them live...

[sludger79]

DOOM-SCHOOL,EPIC!

[callishka]

Simple can be brilliant

[WEITESTAL]

love that ballad style hard to combine melody with rhythm in that genre - they did

[dinamovisturau]

a fucking brliant solo

[OriginalMetal]

@dinamovisturau calm down it's not that briliant....the solo is 5 links stick together....

[bayya1968]

fucking brilliant

[mistman1977]

First time I watched this video I was about 17, had eaten a handful of magic mushrooms, and thought the millipedes were playing guitar. Next week I went out and bought Icon.

Great band, but imo after Draconian Times their music just didn't feel the same. In otherwords, I'd like the old Paradise Lost back.

[fistpounder]

Takes me back to 1993 when they supported Sepultura at the Barrowlands in Glasgow :)

[shadowyashatoura]

TA SPAEI!!!!!!!!!

[aviadha]

forgot just how much this song is good

[megaforce811]

Masterpiece guitar composition and song and sets the mood for doom and gloom. Icon along with Shades of God, Lost Paradise, and Gothic are doom metal masterpieces. Hopefully Guitar World recognizes Gregor Mackintosh.

[tibic]

One of the most under-rated songs in metal's history.

[Ramirezblanco]

best pl song!

[adigrida]

OH YEA !!!!!

[sabat1970]

Just beside "True Belief" is one of my most memorable songs of the '90.The guitar in the background is just fuckin' deadly. No such music nowadays... bollocks!

[misfit2323]

i remember them touring icon opening up for sepultura in 93. good times....

[FlyingHeadbutt100]

@misfit2323 Me too! Liverpool Royal Court. Opened with this and kicked ass.....

[dlakonja]

@misfit2323

M8....I wast on that gig,but THERES NO SCHOOL LIKE OLD SCHOOL....They are the masters of Deth - doom metal and I fuckin love them....Hope thoes times to come back again.......cheeers to ya all \m/

[organicate]

Harmony breaks, dark awaits!!

[berserk201177]

oo true metal.. no gay metal like H...M

[cash4sellers]

i guess they have changed a lot since this track came out.... I saw them live 5 years ago and totally different... still can't figure out how good or bad this change was!!

[PickleJar251]

Gotta love the badass guitar riff(s)

[Panahs]

Seen them yesterday live playing the whole Draconian Times album!

Historical moments!

Really happy :)

[Bizibizidis]

@Panahs krima pou den mporousa na paw re man.prepei na htan teleia!

[OmegaDarkful]

Paradise Lost and Sentenced! Respect to these two great bands!!!

[TheJchunk]

One of my fave PL songs, to this day.

Gregor is such an underrated guitarist.

[harku123]

@TheJchunk They are just soo....... I hate using the wrong words in things like this, but PL are just fucking AMAZING!

[GToul13]

"only in mind's eye can you see a light..."

Those guys speak the truth...

[gelertliakaii]

FUCKING CLASSIC!!

I have seen this band 3 times. But on this album tour they were fucking legendary! I small venue of about 300 people was fucking...out of this world!!!!

[Neueregel]

Embers Fire >>> every single Metallica song

[AsiDie888]

@Neueregel Do not mention metallica plz......Pl's creativity cannot be compared to metallica's recycled riffs that tend to give the same melody in every song.......Listen to Pl and you will understand that they differ to metallica because PARADISE LOST FUCKING RULEEEEEEEEE THE WORLD

[Neueregel]

@AsiDie888 i agree. btw nice van gogh avatar ;)

[AsiDie888]

@Neueregel ty man ty a lot

[BHVampireLF]

@Neueregel

Men, shut up.... Please, Don´t mention that Shitty Group here... This band is awesome, Mierdallica is a Shitty and Commercial Group for the Posers....

[Neueregel]

@BHVampireLF I know, I just had to say how crappy James Hetfield sounds compared to Nick Holmes

[Ciferz]

@BHVampireLF Metallica's early albums where some of the best in the whole hard rock/metal history, that's a fact. Now they're bad, but so is Paradise lost. Overall, Metallica was way better though I'm not exactly a fan of either.

[BHVampireLF]

@Ciferz

Ah, from the Thrash Metal History, not of the Whole Metal or Rock History.... You can´t compare Metallica with Black Sabath for example....

[Ciferz]

@BHVampireLF I can compare anybody to someone else...

[BHVampireLF]

@Ciferz

Oh Well XD

In Fact, yes, you can Compare a Piece of Shit with a Powerfull God...

[marciomelanina]

Este som remota bom tempos, velhos amigos, THC, e muitas curtições. Quem dera eu ter novamente 16 anos, quem dera...

[john41199]

3 humans are deaf....

[1207pawel]

cure

[HauntedAngel2012]

3 minutes into it begins one wicked awesome guitar solo!!! my mind is just about ready to explode from the pure greatness of it haha

[minusss666]

Epic. Iconic. Timeless.

[icedearthwacken]

No comment! Speakless!!!

[adigrida]

JUST GREAT.....and yes,good metal seems to die...but not yet,a few good bands still keep the flag of good metal high. All the respect for those who love metal !!!!!!!

[herVonStrumpel]

where are the glowing embers these days?? I miss the 90's

The more things change the worse they get mostly!!

[herVonStrumpel]

[stom72]

PL at their best

[Sicknose]

When i hitchiked to California my first time, i had 6 cassettes and this was one. It reminds me of a freedom i've rarely known since. I walked forever, it seemed, just managing to find food and stay out of jail (and find batteries for my walkman). I had Paradise Lost - Icon, Tiamat - Wildhoney, Crematory - ...just Dreaming, Afflicted - Prodigal Sun, Napalm Death - Greed Killing, Carcass - Heartwork. Life was good!

[loois]

@Sicknose essential selection, i must say :)

[Damzelbum]

Will be seeing them play this weekend! Been waiting years for this!

[minusss666]

I love this song, I love this record, I love that period of my life.

I love the hills topped with old trees, i love the taste of potions drank under those trees, I remember taste of lips of all lovely ladies I had a honour to meet under those trees. Long live Paradise Lost.

[AsiDie888]

TI KOMMATARA 8EE MOU!!!!!!!! PARADISE LOST RULE/FUCK METALLICA

[Folktony]

@AsiDie888 ε οχι και fuck Metallica :P καποτε καλοι ηταν και αυτοι...

το κομματι αυτο σπερνει! οπως και ολα τα τραγουδια τους(απο καθε αλμπουμ) :))

[UltimateVortex]

If everyone was at good at kicking ass as Paradise Lost does in this song then Chinese Foot Binding would be a Pre-K tradition.

[linkinn18]

ICON!!

[Stellarmasterelite]

laid down the laws of deceit. the ones who cherish, are the ones who go.-

[hebelecik]

3:10 very nice critter rotfl

[lucifer9733]

Simply perfect and timeless ......

[Pandinus2]

La Clarion usò questa canzone, qualche anno fa, per pubblicizzare la pulizia del suono delle sue autoradio...

Tutto molto bello in questa canzone: sound, riff, strofa, pathos, ritornello, cantato, ecc...

Dal gruppo che, probabilmente, diede il nome al Gothic metal e ne gettò le fondamenta (con buona pace dei Nightwish, con tutto il rispetto), basandosi sul "doom" sound dei Black Sabbath.

Chi odia gli insetti troverà il vedeo un po' antipatico...

[DerDickeTyp]

A lyrical master-piece.... beaten ONLY by the MUSIC.

[szmano]

what an intro !!! makes me shiver

[ubernagash]

@szmano aye its a fuck awe shattering intro, powerful , you can feel it weigh heavy on you

[DerDickeTyp]

@szmano I understand that.............

[minusss666]

This track means so much for me. It catches a glimpse of my time in those years. I just love it.

[MrKtolibo]

1995 greysstream

[blekpero]

just remembered, where the f... came nickleback from? anyone...

[blekpero]

those f..... 90's best music,nowaday rock sucks compared to that time,not to mantion M(erd)TV....

[ChristinaDarkRose]

Icon is one of the best albums ever!

[DETHFAN18ALL]

well they are ok but I like much faster, usually. Probably why I find Megadeth is the best

[measis]

the 3 people that dislike this song are probably emo faggots!

[insecticon77]

Is this, or is this not one of the GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN?

[JanDeluxe78]

@insecticon77 I like other songs and styles better, but Icon is without doubt one of the best metal albums of all times IMHO. It had a huge influence on me.

[MrKlipstar]

Good band and great song...

[Decklocation]

I think the only band that could possibly top this band is Slipknot. Slipknot just have more meaningful lyrics: "I push my fingers into my eyes." Astounding.

[measis]

@Decklocation ahaha nice sarcasmm!

[krux1981]

one of the very best,dark,powerfull and haunting

[Toso71]

one of my favourite paradise lost songs. i love it

[sammylowrie]

Classic Paradise Lost - I bought an edition of Kerrang about 1993, and brought Icon due to the review, best investment in my life!

[punishuman]

The more I listen to Paradise Lost, I am loving them more.

Like a matured woman who has wrinkles on their face here and there. Cellulite on their body here and there but she got substance.. Just like Paradise Lost!!!

[HeavyMetalIsAlive]

They should have stuck to this style. This shit if fucking awesome. The guitar riff is talking with fucking emotion.

[zidrun89]

I just have tree letters for this song - WOW!

That is powerful and incredibly deep song.

Song that I have to listen over and over again.

[darkchaser25]

One of the best songs they've done

[thecorpse70]

what the fuck happened to this awesome band after icon they pretty much went downhill

[brilaf01]

@thecorpse70 well they changed a lot over the years ..but i dont think they went downhill either . they had the balls of doing what other bands dont even dare to do . they changed and thats why they never died away .. ..their music is still great . at least you can admire them for what they did ...if not for their music . in my opinion ...they even sounded great on BELIEVE IN NOTHING ...but thats only my opinion anyway .

[shamrock3131]

@brilaf01 totally agree with you , i loved all the early stuff and still do but bands must evolve to avoid becoming stale , still a awsome and under estimated band today .

[AnimeGuy9]

I finally got around to listening to Icon in full a week ago. Blew my freaking mind. Seriously, it's almost too awesome. This, Joys of the Emptiness, and Christendom are my favorites, though the whole thing is amazing.

[NilsEbbesen]

another epic paradise lost masterpiece!

[eimaisklhros]

that was the reason i bought ICON FUCKINH RULES!!!!

[Gurgum666]

The last time I really enjoy listening to Paradise Lost! I discovered them a few years ago cos my mom listened to them and I became a big fan of them but I haven't listened to them for I think the whole last year! Now I discovered them again and they fuckin' roule!!! \,,/

[PinkLinc]

Now THIS is d Paradise Lost that captures me. Awsum

[kthalynna1947]

It ´s a pity i was not in that era...but im enjoying them now

[TrephineArtist]

Still a great band.

[Fedrelandet]

Yes it is still a great band.

[locusmortis]

Back when PL were good!

[tractor666]

Anyone remember this vid on RAW POWER

[brumjo]

Certainly do :) 3am I used to watch Raw power before heading to work

[CVargas]

Thanks for putting this up. I used to love this song. I haven't heard it in years.

[redbangster]

My alltime fave!!!

[MyFashion01]

+100 wow

[Xeretix]

This song exudes some form of harshness that is indescribable. A kind of sadness that can only be properly expressed in music, and not words. It's inside and you cannot spit or vomit it out, all there is is to endure and suffer. As Poe wrote - "a fever which would cling to thee forever".

I don't know why, but for years i have felt that this album is the sound of your future growing dark before your eyes.

[PaulBassist1]

Heavy words my friend, but I like them

[twitchnihilax]

That's a Yorkshire upbringing for you, eh?

[JEKAZOL]

@Xeretix Great words. Sad words. Icon is truly unique. It changed my musical life as a kid for sure. I went through 3 copies on cassette. No lie: 3 copies worn out on my walkman. oh, and some mild hearing loss no doubt. Gregors guitar is like some kind of renaissance throwback.

[Xeretix]

@JEKAZOL 3 copies! That's a lot of heaviness for one guy, ha ha.

I only wore out one tape, but this album has left an undeniable imprint on my life. Same as the albums before and after it. I'm also a huge fan of their last two. Glad to see that there is a band that is so talented to be able to really go "back to the roots" without sounding weak and dated.

[mikeassballs]

@Xeretix chin up slugger

[marciomelanina]

Este album me traz lembranças de velhos e bons tempos, velhos amigos, velhas farras...Sem sombra de dúvidas quem curtiu esse som anos atras jamais esquecera do poder do Metal!

[7tourist]

the best of all times! what else to say?

[whiskyonrocks]

@7tourist

 of course

[calastiur]

One of my favourite Paradise Lost songs. Has a really meaningful chorus.

I do like Paradise Lost's new album but I still miss these vocals. Sure, Nick Holmes still delivers a strong rasp here and there, but these all around vocals gave Paradise Lost their own creative sound. Nick unfortunately isn't so good live either.

[Skotanax]

Heavy as fuck

[daemonaeon]

Shut up!

[eaglehearted]

And I thought they couldn't do better than Draconian Times.....AMAZING AS FUCK

[LP999999999]

I almost forgot how good they were ...

[byTemari]

2:09 haha xD black hole in the teeth xD

[BoilingHumans]

haha xD

[euskaldoom]

Pura vena PL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forever!

[edyhania76]

the best of paradise

[NilsEbbesen]

what WAH PEDAL is this ??? ned to now!!!

[ilikeilikebadgers]

Most cheerful!

[Animaldrummer666]

I love the melody of that song....

[ALBYSTEEL]

SAD LIKE AUTUMN

[SvonJunzt]

Here's a little disturbing trivia for all you fans! This song was actually used for a tv commercial for a car stereo!

[2tonesg]

in which country?

[SvonJunzt]

@2tonesg saw it on MTV Europe a very long time ago.

[SvonJunzt]

Just found out that it was a Clarion Car stereo commercial...

[eaglehearted]

In a parallel universe probably

[SvonJunzt]

Yes, most likely. Parallel to the singular-cell moronic 2d universe in which you are the only resider! FuCK!!! I feel incredibly gifted knowing that I will never have to endure your company IRL you sad, stupid waste of oxygen!!!! F.O.A.D.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eaglehearted]

ok.... I guess you are incredibly gifted when compared to say, a pigeon. Still, you're replying like you just found out I gave your mom a jelly doughnut. It's ok though, she likes it like that.

[siralanlordsugar]

@SvonJunzt fond memories, I would had never knew who they were if it wasn't for that ad and since then I became a fan...if only somebody can upload the ad and lightning can turn stone age cart into a BMW 3 series convertible

[wargasm58]

viciously mouthwatering guitar riff, that solo fucks shit UP!!

[BayAreaTrasher]

pure quality !!!

[giovvva15]

this is metal

[StPaul76]

It is amazing.. This is how old..? 16 years..? And it still sounds new..! That's a mark of great record and music. \0 !

[7shadowking]

Best band in the history of heavy metal and my favourite song with shadowkings and spirit. HAIL!

[gallegotinto]

I love this song, guitar solo is amazing!
