My Dying Bride has been the leading light of doom metal since their 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.

Following the release of Evinta earlier this year, in which the band marked 20 years of existence with a release of symphonic compositions re-imagining past MDB themes, My Dying Bride present their latest chapter in the form of new release 'The Barghest O' Whitby.

This single track, 27 minute epic represents the epitome of poetic grace and funeral soundscapes from one of gothic doom's most celebrated acts. With a masterful blend of pounding guitar riffs, and sombre atmospheric passages, My Dying Bride takes you through the chilling tale of a supernatural entity hell bent on revenge.

The Barghest O' Whitby was recorded at Futureworks Studios, Manchester with long-time production partner & engineer, Mags. The release is the first to feature violin/keyboardist Shaun Macgowan, and sees the return of Shaun "Winter" Taylor-Steels to the drum-stool for this recording. The cover artwork for The Barghest O' Whitby also appears courtesy of vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe.

  • Where the hell is Rick Miah when you need him?  He added so much to the music....

  • who else wants to see The Barghest Of Whitby live in its entirety?

  • bought the EP today...don't regret...

  • @drownedsoul00 makes it sound like a Sainsbury's product

  • the drums are one of the reasons the Albion In Ruin tour was lacking i think - everyone sounds on fine form and there is NOTHING wrong with Dan Mullins's drumming (he's hella proficient!), it's that stuff sounded different enough to make it at times just a bit more karaoke than ''there's MDB again yeah!''. like i love love LOVE that a violinist is back in the fold - i just wish he'd been able to benefit from the band's experience and not be dogged by tuning problems on every violin-heavy song

  • Masterpiece! Best Song of 2011

  • @Transcendium the music is great, great riffs, drums... but i'm not satisfied with the overall sound. it began with "The Lies I Sire"

  • Long live MDB!

  • not to mention Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, they are in my bone marrow
