CD/DVD Releases: My Dying Bride - ''Evinta'' Available From Burning Shed

Posted on Saturday, April 23 @ 18:00:00 UTC by nightowl

It might be an obvious thing to say but: don't cry for the Evinta (tripleCDwithbook); truth is it's available from Burning Shed.

But seriously: Evinta is the latest release from My Dying Bride. Released to commemorate their first two decades of existence, My Dying Bride re-worked melodies and themes from their extensive back catalogue into epic, flowing symphonic compositions, incorporating new vocals and passages from Aaron Stainthorpe and French Opera singer Lucie Roche.

[2 decades? 20 years? Shouldn't they be My Dead Bride now? -annoying, sarcastic ed.]

The arrangements have been created in collaboration with keyboard maestro Johnny Maudling (of Bal Sagoth fame) and a collective of gifted classical musicians.

The resulting album/triple CD set, Evinta, is presented in a deluxe twelve inch 64 page book with spot varnished cover.

MDB's unique brand of mystery and misery has never looked or sounded so good.

Limited to 3000 copies only.

"Nine albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MyDying Bride. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past." - MDB

You can pre-order now for the May 30 release.

My Dying Bride has been the leading light of Doom Metal since their debut album As The Flower Withers was released on Peaceville Records 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.

The band's 20 year celebrations continue with the release of Evinta and the Albion In Ruin tour (coming in May, 2011).
