The Yorkshire ‘titans of doom’ return on 13th May with a 27 minute four track release – ‘The Manuscript’ – that mixes dark tales of foreboding with the band’s trademark fusion of gloomy poetics and heavy intensity. Released via Peaceville.
My Dying Bride formed in the summer of 1990, and after only 6 months of writing together released the now legendary demo ‘Towards The Sinister’.
Progress continued apace with the release of their first 7” single ‘God Is Alone’ for the small French label Listenable. The single sold out almost immediately causing eager whispers in the underground, bringing them to the attention of Peaceville Records, who offered the band a deal.
‘The Manuscript’ contains 4 new & exclusive songs; A dark voyage spanning over 27 minutes of supreme doom in the unmistakable My Dying Bride style of heaviness mixed with dark tales of foreboding. It was recorded & mixed at Futureworks Studios in Manchester, UK with the band’s long-time producer, Mags.
The band have commented on the recording:
“The Manuscript features four monstrous tracks of brilliantly crafted metal that only My Dying Bride can do, with swathes of doom laden melancholy, harmonic beauty and thundering death metal all combined in their trademark sound. Four tales of tragedy, loss and bitter vengeance greet the listener with an added assault on the emotions too, leaving the soul grey and limp. There is beauty here, but it’s carrying a dark blade.”
My Dying Bride are currently touring South America.
