U.K. doom metal veterans
MY DYING BRIDE have set
"A Map Of All Our Failures" as the title of their new album, due on October 15 In Europe and October 16 in the U.S. via
Peaceville Records on CD, double vinyl and special-edition CD/DVD. The effort was recorded and mixed at
Futureworks Studios in Manchester, England with the band's longtime production partner
Rob "Mags" Magoolagan at the helm.
According to a press release, "a step up from 2009's
'For Lies I Sire' — which set and subsequently met new heights of expectation placed upon the legendary Yorkshire doom troupe —
'A Map Of All Our Failures' is a further voyage into the darkest depths of humanity, religion, folklore, love and death.
MY DYING BRIDE's distinctively sumptuous dual-guitar melodies effortlessly flood into juggernaut doom metal riffs, with the vocals of
Aaron Stainthorpe weaving a rich tapestry of tragic tales into the accompanying soundscapes.
'A Map Of All Our Failures' is perhaps best and most effectively summarized by guitarist
Andrew Craighan, who describes the album as 'a controlled demolition of all your hopes.'"
