OHMWORK are a power trio from Norway emphasizing great perfomance – hard hitting drum grooves, thunderous bass, heavy and energetic guitars and vocal lines with great melodies and hooks. The band is characterized as loud and bombastic with an attitude of “take no prisoners”!

Rare is it for a band to have had such a long lasting effect on the musical landscape they exist within. Since their formation in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Paradise Lost have thrived in perpetual darkness: a place where rays of light seldom threaten to break the black clouds, where nightmares last an eternity. Now returning with opus number fourteen THE PLAGUE WITHIN, Paradise Lost are once again refining the chemical equation to their sonic alchemy with the kind of creative invincibility few can afford.
