Paradise Lost recently recently filmed a video for 'Honesty In Death' in the UK with director Matt Green, who also did the 'Cathedrals Of Dread' video for Greg Mackintosh’s death metal band VALLENFYRE.

Greg Mackintosh (guitar) comments: "We are very excited about the premiere of our 'Honesty In Death' video. In my opinion it is the best video we have ever done. Matt Green, who I had previously worked with on the Vallenfyre ‘Cathedrals Of Dread’ video, directed it. He did such a great job with Vallenfyre that we knew he would be able to do something really special for Paradise Lost. The result is a very powerful, but very grim short film with brief cameos by the band, that is sure to resonate with people who see it."
