PARADISE LOST parts ways with drummer Guido Zima

UK Gothic Metal veterans PARADISE LOST have announced that they have parted ways with drummer Guido Zima. Zima joined the band in March 2023 and performed with them during their North American tour, but has now exited the lineup.

“We’ve 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 endeavours.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding, and we’re looking forward to the next chapter with the band.”

No replacement has been announced yet, though PARADISE LOST does have several tour dates lined up for the year. It remains unclear how Zima’s departure will affect these previously scheduled shows.
