MY DYING BRIDE

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: ENG
Style: emotional atmospheric doom death metal

the groundbreaking sophomore full-length [1993] by West Yorkshire's finest has eventually turned into the fundamental opus and historical bestseller of atmospheric doom/death metal genre - the grandiloquent whole never sounded as dark, elegant and majestic until this record, not losing the primeval grimness and earth-shaking heaviness, strengthened by intricate poetical lyrics, while band frontman starts to alter his voice between ferocious growls and emotional singing, with guitar harmonies and violin accents creating a chamber-like soundscape, emphasizing dynamic depth of compositions and their emotional intensity; it also was one of the first albums in metal history where CD, vinyl and cassette versions each had different artwork, remarkably designed by vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe; recent British black vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
