1216.0. "My Dying Bride" by SUBSYS::MSOUCY (MentalmETALMike) Mon Mar 17 1997 06:12

    
    My Dying Bride is a Death Metal band which I believe went through a
    lineup change, at least in the vocals department, unless they stopped
    processing the vocals to give the death-ish sound they had on the EP's.
    
    First one I got of theirs was "Trinity" and it is supposedly their
    first 3 EP releases together on one disc. One song has clean singing
    while the rest have the death style vocals. Violins are used through
    some of the songs which lend to the overall mood. Production could have
    been better overall except on a couple of the songs (most likely from
    their latter EP release, but this is a guess). First listening was a
    surprise to me with the vocals as they are one of the earlier death/doom
    bands I listened to awhile back! Caught me off guard I guess!
    
    I recently picked up their new release "Like gods in the sun" and was
    surprised that they now have clean vocals on the entire disc.
    Reminiscent of Anathema with this release, better production, and is
    quite a good release. If you liked Anathema's "Eternity" release then
    you would like this one as it is similar with the genre of music they
    play (doom/doomdeath I guess).

1216.1these guys are very good!SUBSYS::MSOUCYMentalmETALMikeWed Mar 26 1997 08:208
    
    Coming in soon is "Angel and the Dark River" and I am calling Newbury
    this morning as I saw "As the Flower Withers" and have them reserve it
    for me. They are quite good for the doom genre imho. The second last
    track on LGOTS is quite somber/sad, violin and keys and basically a
    spoken piece, but quite moving!
