To commemorate two decades of doom and gloom from My Dying Bride, the band embarked upon a special project to re-work familiar melodies and themes from their extensive catalogue into long, flowing symphonic compositions, incorporating new vocals and passages from Aaron Stainthorpe. Sharing vocals is professional opera singer Lucie Roche, a talented soprano from France.

These arrangements have been brought to life in co-operation with keyboard maestro Johnny Maudling (of Bal-Sagoth fame) as well as a clutch of talented classical musicians and will be released on May 30th as 'Evinta', as a 2 disc set & also a deluxe 3-disc edition with 64 page book, inspired by My Dying Bride's illustrious recordings of the past two decades.

A less expensive 2-CD* edition for general retail (UK and overseas chain stores), in a jewel-case format

*2CD edition features CD 1 & 2 from the Deluxe (3 Disc) edition.

Audio from Disc 3 will see an eventual release in the future.

I don't think I should say anything concerning My Dying Bride, you all know who they are and what they accomplished, but most and above all you still recall the company they kept you throughout the years; that is indispensable. Yet, neither they possess the Papal infallibility nor do I grant indulgence.

Up to Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light, even A Line Of Deathless Kings, I used to worship them, to a welcome extent of course, it always depends on the album and everything it has to say. Then, the big "surprise" came with For Lies I Sire, it wasn't even memorable, an album whose existence I nearly ignore, third class uninspired My Dying Bride just for the sake of it, nothing less, nothing more, a mediocre sculpture of what they once were. Two years later, the band itself prepared the world for something different through statements, something that was waiting for a long time to be accomplished and fulfilled, now it is awakened. Of course I'm referring to Evinta, a wannabe magnum opus of familiar and renowned My Dying Bride melodies transformed into pieces of classical/symphonic music.

I don't mind a bit of darkwave from time to time but listening to this one I nearly slipped into a coma.

I love neoclassical darkwave music but the song lengths are way too long and almost un-listenable. I got through most of the album, but I just found it sooooooo boring . I do hope MDB wont do anything like this again.

Absolutely a beautifull masterpiece from the masters. Thank you MDB!

A great project to supplement their existing discography. Heard it by now so many times that you start to forget the subtle references to the original songs and recognize them as entirely new songs on their own.

By far the worst My Dying Bride album imo. Rarely do I find getting through an album to be this much of a chore. This band have been known for releasing lengthy albums but this is beyond ridiculous, it's way too long for it's own good, and with very few moments I find interesting.

A few decent instrumental sections isn't good enough for a band of this caliber I'm afraid. A moment to forget in what is otherwise a very impressive discography

you're on an MDB marathon?
I don't think I can pull off such a thing.

Yes this band is a tough one, but now I'm beginning to admire them. I've probably never put this much commitment into just one single bands discography in such a short space of time before. Some albums of theirs I like others not so much, this album in particular has proven to be the most challenging, just getting through it is an achievement in itself, not sure I would want to fo it again tbh.
