U.K. rockers Paradise Lost have reportedly changed the title of their forthcoming album from Deus to Symbol Of Life.

Paradise Lost are in the midst of recording Symbol Of Life at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, England with producer Rhys Fulber (Fear Factory, Frontline Assembly)

Symbol Of Life is tentatively due on October 14 through GUN/BMG Records in Europe and shortly thereafter on Koch Entertainment in North America. Stay tuned.

Paradise Lost changed the title of their forthcoming new studio album from "Deus" to "Symbol Of Life". The album is scheduled for an October 14th release through G.U.N. Records. The album is almost finished and the guys are putting the finishing touches at Chapel Studios in England with producer Rhys Fulber.

PARADISE LOST have signed a deal with G.U.N./ BMG Records, who will release the group's ninth studio album in the fall throughout the world, excluding North America, where the band have signed to Koch Entertainment.

PARADISE LOST have already demoed 16 tracks for the as-yet-untitled CD, including two covers—BRONSKI BEAT's "Small Town Boy" and DEAD CAN DANCE's "Xavier". Due to be produced by Rhys Fulber (i.e. FEAR FACTORY, FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY), the album will be recorded in the UK and Los Angeles and will reportedly mark "a real return to form for the band," according to an official press release.
