Abstract

The relevance of the topic lies in the need for a more detailed study of the British and American underground music platform, which is popular both abroad and among the Russian audience. Groups that have become especially popular over the past few years are of particular interest in the literary and linguocultural aspects. The practical significance of the study is expressed in the possibility of using the materials of the work when studying the translation of the traditions of Gothic and Neo-Gothic in the context of modern media discourse. This determines the translation aspect of this study from the point of view of analyzing the demanded representatives of the metal scene, including the British gothic metal band “Paradise Lost”. The purpose of the research is a comprehensive analysis of pre-romantic and gothic motives in the work of the British gothic metal band Paradise Lost. As the main methods, the researchers use the structural-semantic method, the comparative-linguistic method, the lexical-semantic method and the method of extracting linguistic data.
