MY DYING BRIDE'S CLASSIC 1996 SHOW FROM KRAKOW, POLAND, FOR A NIGHT OF DOOM METAL MAGIC. PRESENTED ON DOUBLE GATEFOLD VINYL, & ON THE VINYL FORMAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
My Dying Bride has been the leading light of doom metal since the debut album ‘As The Flower Withers’ was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost & Candlemass, the British band’s heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years to stand as one of the true enduring & distinguishable pillars of the genre.
'For Darkest Eyes' contains the band’s iconic 1996 performance from Krakow, Poland, featuring numerous classic doom anthems from the early career of the UK Metal Gods. The show was recorded as the band was riding a wave of popularity due to their recent breakthrough third album, 'The Angel & the Dark River' (plus their tour with British metal legends Iron Maiden in the winter of 1995), showcasing several tracks from that release such as 'The Cry of Mankind' & 'Your Shameful Heaven', as well as renditions of other established numbers such as 'The Crown of Sympathy' & 'The Forever People'.
This edition of 'For Darkest Eyes' is presented on double gatefold vinyl & first time on the vinyl format & contains cover artwork adapted from the original video tape release.
