# Greg Mackintosh of Paradise Lost on ‘The Plague Within’

*By Altwire Staff · April 1, 2015*

Paradise Lost are set to release their fourteenth studio album, recorded in London with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano, on June 2nd under Century Media. Guitarist Greg Mackintosh sat down with [Total Guitar](https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/in-the-studio-paradise-lost-618634) to discuss the direction of the upcoming record:

*"It could be a bit of a Marmite album,"* Mackintosh starts, *"sometimes it's nice to do albums that are expected, in a way, but for a career like ours, it's important to do certain records and songs where you try something else."*

He reveals a track named *'Flesh From Bone'* is likely the fastest song they've made in regards to tempo while *'Beneath Broken Earth'* is possibly their slowest. He continues that they *"weren't shying away from any period, but it also had to be cohesive.*

*"As it came together, the death metal elements became more prevalent, so the album ended up with more of those elements than we'd first anticipated. But it's got a good ebb and flow to it.*

*"We deliberately went down a different route,"* Mackintosh says, *"where we want it to sound like no one else in metal."*

Currently Paradise Lost have confirmed only two festivals this year. All tour dates and tour updates can be found [HERE](https://www.paradiselost.co.uk/tour/).
