My Dying Bride lives another day! The two best tracks on this CD are "The Scarlet Garden", and "Catherine Blake". I'm definitly a fan of this band, and I love this album. I love the way the vocals sound, the british accent, and the ultra gothic atmosphere that remains consistent throughout the album. Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light has a mysterious romantic side to it. Goth, goth, goth. . . MDB may not like being called that, but that is what they are. This music is quite beautiful if you listen to it from start to finnish. A must have CD for fans of dooom metal and symphonica.
Call iit what you will.
My Dying Bride prefers to call thier music "Doom Metal", and MDB fans hate it when you call this band "Gothic Metal". . but in truth, either tag applies. Whatever you want to call it. . . it's an amazing album. I love it's slow and melodic atmosphere. . . ultra darkness. If your looking for deathmetal. . . there are a few traces of that here. This isn't a speedy or hard hitting power band. . . . this is just sheer dark metal that evokes darke desire and invites deep emotional response. IMO, this is one of the most unique band in metal culture.
