Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light

MY DYING BRIDE’S EIGHTH STUDIO ALBUM OF EPIC GOTHIC DOOM METAL My Dying Bride has been the leading light of doom metal since the debut album "As The Flower Withers" was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost and Candlemass, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years and they remain at the pinnacle of the genre and one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands. ‘Songs of Darkness, Words of Light’ was the band’s eighth studio album and was originally released in 2004. With My Dying Bride’s perfected blend of guitar and sombre atmospherics creating an unmistakable ensemble of epic crushing doom metal, and featuring some of the band’s most dark and sinister material to date, the album was also notable for its more sensitive and reflective side, as evident on the track ‘Catherine Blake’, & fan favourite, ‘My Wine in Silence’.

Back down in the dregs, My Dying Bride's eight studio album is not only a worthy follow-up to 2001's The Dreadful Hours, but it seems to touch the same emotional and musical pit that Like Gods of the Sun did back in 1997.
