Released in September 1993, Icon was Paradise Lost’s fourth studio album and a record
that helped define the gothic metal genre. It was one of their first major international
chart successes, cementing their growing reputation worldwide and paving the way for
the commercial breakthrough of Draconian Times (1995). In February 2018, Icon was
inducted into the Decibel Magazine Hall of Fame and for National Album Day 2026 it will
be pressed on Bloody Mary red vinyl.
