1.
Seraphim 01:38
Light sparks between the clouds, floating above paradise. The palace of Heaven, plagued with a parasite. O’ Satan, a once splendid being, the most perfect of creations, tainted by pride and temptation.
2.
Cherubim 05:41
Resist. Lucifer is corrupt, civil war erupts. The angels distraught, the demons are wrought. Banished from light, Diablo is born, Nine circles are forged, his followers scorned. Nor loved nor cared but self-indulged. Follow in vain, for he fuels disdain. Satan now rules his palace of hell, unlike heaven, from where he fell.
3.
Nephilim 02:46
Crossing the Acheron, Limbo is placed - where pagans and poets now wail for days. Lust now follows - where nothing shall gleam. These erotic malefactors shriek eternal screams. Icy rain pierces gluttony’s remains; the sinner’s betrayed by their fake, mortal gains. Clergymen and Cardinals corrupted by greed, finding hope in Satan’s malleable creed. The mythical Styx stenches of anger and pain, the men filled with wrath, the men now bloodstained. Heretics and murders and rapists and thieves, Treacherous traitors and mercenaries, comfort in failure and torturing ways, fuels Satan’s army for the end of days. Sent to hell; fallen angels, He pities thee. Diabolical beliefs corrupted peace, Paradise lost for the disloyal, and the demons of hell begin turmoil. ‘Better to reign in hell, than to serve in Heaven. Curse your creation to war, eternally in the Levant.’

about

Paradise Lost was written and completed as a full ten minute piece by Giuliano Macri and Jeffrey Anderson in late 2016. Aspiring to develop a dark ambient piece, they were eventually persuaded by their love for Metal music, to take the elements of metal and ambience they loved most and create what you are hearing today. Guest vocals were written and recorded by none other then Ilija of Perth black metal outfit, "Illyria".

"Paradise Lost has been a huge undertaking for us as band. Our goal was to deliver something from the heart; a truly memorable experience for our fans, friends, and family. We personally felt compelled, and inspired, to bring something of this magnitude to everyones ears and we feel we have achieved this goal. So, behold.

Staos would like to extend deep appreciation towards our friends and family for their encouragement and support. We would also like to thank Ilija of Illyria for his guest vocals on the album, and the time he has taken to orchestrate them and coordinate with us. Lastly, we would like to thank you; the listener. Without you, we are nothing more then silence."
