Metal band Paradise Lost, formed in 1988 in Halifax, UK, is credited with creating the death/doom subgenre and pioneering gothic metal. Throughout their career, they have reinvented themselves and experimented with different musical genres. Their early albums established them as a leading force in death/doom, but they gradually moved towards a more melancholic goth-influenced sound. They then explored mainstream success while still maintaining their metal roots before venturing into non-metal territory. In recent years, the band has returned to their gothic and heavy metal roots.

Paradise Lost's unique sound has influenced similar artists such as Tiamat, Moonspell, and Lake Of Tears. Other notable bands within the same genre include My Dying Bride, Katatonia, and Anathema.

With their perpetual taste for reinvention and refusal to repeat themselves, Paradise Lost continues to captivate fans and critics alike with their exploration of gothic and heavy metal territories.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Creators, pioneers and purveyors of the whole Gothic Doom Metal scene which subsequently came to prominence in the early 90's, Britain's Paradise Lost rose from humble Northern roots to become one of the UK's leading artists in the metal genre throughout the decade and beyond, remaining as relevant and revered as ever to this day after a career spanning over three decades. The band's first two albums were released on Peaceville, in the shape of 1990's influential deathly debut Lost Paradise, followed up by the more atmosphere-focussed genre classic, Gothic in 1991. Gothic EP was originally released in 1994 and combined the tracks from the 1990 'In Dub' two track 12" release bookended by alternate studio remixes from the Gothic studio album. The two tracks which formerly featured on the studio debut received extensive remixing and all new arrangements in the shape of 'Rotting Misery (Doom Dub)' and 'Breeding Fear (Demolition Dub)'.This edition of Gothic EP is presented on black vinyl with design-work from the original 1994 CD release.
