Default Alternatives to Paradise Lost

I am male and 36, I enjoy paradise lost, believe, Faith, symbol, Draconian, icon, in requiem, one second, shades, are the albums i really like because the songs are sung well not grunted and the music is excellent.
Can anyone suggest other bands with similar styles to these albums ?
Thankyou
Dex

I'm a big fan of Paradise Lost as well, so try My Dying Bride, Katatonia and Anathema, as all are similiar types of bands.

What is THE seminal Killing Joke album? I've heard some tracks off of their debut and Absolute Dissent that I really liked, but their breadth of work is so large, I don't really know where to start. Thanks.

Honestly... it really depends. If you're into the stuff off Absolute Dissent you may want to check out their latter material from about... '94 on wards. Their 2003 self-titled album was where I started, but I've grown incredibly fond of Pandemonium (1994) and Democracy (1996). Their 2006 album Hossan From the Basement of Hell has some incredibly murky production and Jaz's vocals can be incredibly hard to make out at times, but it's probably their heaviest. If you're interested in their more post-punk/goth rock stuff from the 1980's, their self-titled debut is still up there as one of my favourite debuts, but it does sound a bit dated now, and I don't think compares as well to their newer material.

Considering you've already heard a few tracks off Absolute Dissent (2010), I'd say start there, and work your way back to Pandemonium, and then go check out their debut and work your way up from there. I wish I still had my "Beginner's Guide to Killing Joke" still up, but alas it's gone.

Self-Titled and "Night Time". "Pandemonium" after that one.

as well as the "Chaos for Breakfast" compilation.

Thanks fellas, I've listened to both the debut and Absolute Dissent , and I can honestly say I love them both. It's quite clear to me now why so many musicians cite them as influences. It's weird, 6 months ago, the retro and dated sound of most post-punk bothered the hell out of me but I've come to really enjoy it.
