In this interview with Paradise Lost, the band reflects on their journey from their early doom metal days to their current hard rock style. They discuss how their sound evolved over time, the influence of the British metal scene, and the impact of their second album "One Second". The band members share insights into their creative process, collaborations with old label Peaceful Records, and their current work with new producers. They also talk about their recent live album and the ongoing tour, which has received rave reviews. Additionally, they delve into the meaning behind their band name "Paradise Lost" and the musical influences that shaped their career.

Paradise Lost are an English gothic metal band. Formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 1988, they are considered to be among the pioneers of the death-doom genre, and regarded as the main influence for the later gothic metal movement. As of 2005, Paradise Lost have sold over two million albums worldwide.

Their line-up has remained stable for such a long-standing heavy metal band, consisting of singer Nick Holmes, guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. Holmes and Mackintosh are the principal composers, with almost all of the band's songs credited to them. During the years, the band has only changed drummers.

The documentary „Welcome to the Machines“ will try to get to the bottom of these questions and accompanies „The New Vitamine“ on their way to make it big in the music biz. First gigs with no audience, tricks and traps of the press, the boring routine of touring, which isn’t as exciting as one had imagined it to be. And many, many questions. Questions which not only the members of The New Vitamin will be asked, but the big-shots in the business as well. At festivals and inside the workings of the labels, people who can rightfully say of themselves that they’ve made it, will be interviewed, successful bands as well as the big players pulling the strings behind the curtains: be that the boss of an established record label or an influencial music journalist, just as much as the geeky DJ of electronica or the hard-boiled roadie. „Welcome to the Machines“ will look at all possible angles of a musicians path to fame and try to determine whether it is all a question of luck or if the right amount of calculated speculation might get you there too. It will cast a glance inside the workings of the music business, without regard to genre or categorization. Whether it be folk musicians or gangsta rappers, different worlds and yet just one business. The documentary will shed light on the microcosmos Austria as well as the global music industry, be it in New York and London or in Astana and Montevideo. Not always dead serious, but most definitely pitiless - after all it’s just about this one big question: Is there one right way to Fame?
