Paradise Lost Are 'Not A Support Band' For Opeth

British heavy rockers Paradise Lost have issued the following statement regarding their upcoming U.K. tour with Opeth:

"There seems to be a lot of confusion on various forums about this forthcoming Opeth/Paradise Lost tour. Paradise Lost is NOT a support band for Opeth, they are special guests and therefore will be playing a full one-hour set. Not 30, or 40 minutes as some people assume."

Paradise Lost will be the "special guests" at the following opeth U.K. dates:

11/05 - Portsmouth, UK @ Pyramid
11/06 - Glasgow, UK @ ABC
11/07 - Nottingham, UK @ Rock City
11/08 - Manchester, UK @ Academy
11/09 - London, UK @ Roadhouse
11/10 - Birmingham, UK @ Academy
11/11 - Exeter, UK @ Great Hall

Paradise Lost's latest album, entitled "Paradise Lost", was released in the U.S. last November via Abacus Recordings. The CD features the regular 12 tracks and two bonus tracks taken from the limited-edition "Forever After" EP.

Fair enough... I suppose it matters to them, since being a support band when you're too big for it can really hamper your career... not gonna go see them, though.

There's nothing wrong with being a support band. Iron Maiden were a support band for a Priest tour(I'm pretty sure it was after NotB, if not my argument's worthless^^)didn't hamper their career a bit.
