My Dying Bride - The Angel and the Dark River - LP COLOURED

SPECIAL THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY PRESSING OF MY DYING BRIDE’S REVERED 1995 DOOM OPUS. PRESENTED ON LIMITED PEARL SUNRISE VINYL, WITH NEW HALF-SPEED AUDIO MASTER.

My Dying Bride has been one of the foremost & consistent leading lights in doom metal since their debut album ‘As The Flower Withers’ was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost & Candlemass, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years to stand at the pinnacle of the genre & remain one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands.

‘The Angel & The Dark River’, My Dying Bride’s third studio album, was released in 1995 & is considered to be among the highlights of the whole Doom Metal genre; the opus itself being a significant breakthrough release for the band. The album was recorded at the infamous Academy Studios (Paradise Lost, Anathema, Cradle of Filth) in Yorkshire, UK, with long-time associate, Mags. Expanding upon the strong mix of atmosphere & heavy doom riffing of previous albums, ‘The Angel & The Dark River’ was full of sprawling emotional epic tracks with flowing dynamics, which also saw My Dying Bride venturing further into clean vocal territory & to great acclaim.

This special pressing of ‘The Angel & The Dark River’ marks the album’s thirtieth anniversary & is presented on limited Pearl Sunrise vinyl, including new half-speed audio master courtesy of Air Studios.
