Gregor Mackintosh (born 20 June 1970) is a British guitar player. He is the lead guitarist in the metal band Paradise Lost, which he founded in 1988 together with singer Nick Holmes, rhythm guitarist Aaron Aedy, and bassist Steve Edmondson. He is the main composer of one of the pioneer bands and founding fathers of the gothic metal genre, considered to be influential to many other artists.[1][2][3]

Mackintosh also plays keyboards (on several Paradise Lost albums) and also uses them to compose music.[4] He produced Hull industrial metal act Systemyk. Also he founded the bands Vallenfyre,[5] Strigoi,[6] and Host.[7]

Regarding his influences, Mackintosh remarked, "I was into punky stuff when I was really young, then I started to delve into the goth stuff – Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus and especially The Sisters of Mercy."[8]
