MY DYING BRIDE: Another New Song Available For Streaming
- Oct. 3, 2012
"Hail Odysseus", a brand new song from U.K. doom metallers MY DYING BRIDE, can be streamed below. The track comes off the band's new album, "A Map Of All Our Failures", which will be released 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.'"
"A Map Of All Our Failures" track listing:
01. Kneel Till Doomsday 02. The Poorest Waltz 03. A Tapestry Scorned 04. Like A Perpetual Funeral 05. A Map Of All Our Failures 06. Hail Odysseus 07. Within The Presence Of Absence 08. Abandoned As Christ
