Nick Holmes (born England, January 7, 1971) is a British singer and vocalist of band Paradise Lost. Holmes formed Paradise Lost in late 1988 when he and the other band members were barely out of secondary school. Like other contemporaries of the British Doom/death scene (Anathema and My Dying Bride) the band began purely as death metal, with Holmes utilising a low, guttural "death grunt" on the "Morbid Existence" demo and "Lost Paradise" full length.
