Paradise Lost announced last Saturday, the 31st, the return of drummer Jeff Singer. The drummer played with the band between 2004 and 2008, recording the albums Paradise Lost (2005) and In Requiem (2007).
Previously, the gothic metal pioneers had dismissed drummer Guido Zima , who joined the band in March 2023. The British band issued a statement on social media thanking the drummer.
“We have made the difficult creative decision to part ways with our drummer, Guido Zima. We thank Guido for his contributions to the band and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
"We appreciate your continued support and understanding and look forward to the next chapter for the band."
Paradise Lost recruits Jeff Singer again.
With his return to the band, Jeff Singer released a statement on social media: “When I received a call asking if I would play drums in Paradise Lost again, it was clear that it was the right time and that we could actually make it happen.”
The new drummer expressed his happiness: “Nothing could make me prouder. First, the band, the management, and the fans have always made me feel like part of the family, and second, as a fan of the band, it’s a dream and something I’ve thought about a lot over the years. Paradise Lost is in my blood. I can’t wait and I’m very excited to get out there with the guys playing the songs I love and reunite with our incredible and loyal fans.”
