Here's what the British metal icons Paradise Lost have posted on their official homepage last Saturday:

"We can confirm that the title for the 11th Paradise Lost album, tentatively due for release in May this year, is going to be "In Requiem". The artwork is to be done by Seth Siro Anton (i.e. former Septic Flesh frontman Spiros Antoniou), who was the artwork designer for the last album, "Paradise Lost", too.

"The band recently returned from Canada following completion of recording the new CD, produced by Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory) and mixed by Mike Fraser, who is well known for his work with bands such as Metallica, AC/DC, Van Halen, etc. The album is due to be mastered soon.

"We can also confirm that the gig to be filmed for our new live DVD will be taking place on April 12 at the Koko Club in London."
