[PREORDER] My Dying Bride - Anthology of Sombre Reflections

Deluxe 8LP Box Set, 180g Black Vinyl, Half-Speed Mastered

A comprehensive collection of My Dying Bride's early works, spanning the formative deathly rawness of the 1990 Towards the Sinister demo and the 'God Is Alone' 7" through the band's much-celebrated first four albums: As the Flower Withers (1992), Turn Loose the Swans (1993), The Angel and the Dark River (1995), and Like Gods of the Sun (1996). All three of the band's cult EPs are here as well - Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium, The Thrash of Naked Limbs, and I Am the Bloody Earth.

The four studio albums have been newly half-speed mastered at Air Studios, and each of the eight records is pressed on 180g heavyweight black vinyl. The box also includes a 48-page book with new 2025 interviews, two posters, and photo prints.

As part of the "Peaceville Three" alongside Paradise Lost and Anathema, My Dying Bride helped make Britain the epicentre of the death/doom revolution, with a highly distinguishable sound built on violin and a poetic delivery of morbid subject matter. Their studio output now spans fourteen full-length albums. UK import; street date August 21, 2026. This product is non-returnable.
