"Paradise Lost" (also referred as 'PLX' sometimes), the tenth studio album by British heavy metal band Paradise Lost was recorded between January and June 2004 at Chapel Studios, Lincolnshire and Hollypark Lane, Los Angeles. Past touring partner Heather Thompson of Tapping the Vein contributed backing vocals on first single "Forever After" and album track "Over The Madness". The choir-like backing vocals on "Forever After" were performed by Leah Randi.

There are six bonus tracks that can be found through digipak versions of this album, bonus tracks versions, and the "Forever After" single CD. The tracks are "Through The Silence" and "Sanctimonious You". The string dub mixes of "Don't Belong" and "Over The Madness" are only available on the German digipak version of the album, which also contains the video for "Forever After". The UK release of "Paradise Lost" replaces the string dub mixes with the bonus tracks "Let Me Drown" and "A Side You'll Never Know".
