Has anyone heard their latest album yet? I've listened to it a few times now and am kind of dissappointed with it. I think vocally Aaron is starting to sound better and I like the clean vocals on the album, but musically they are starting to sound quite formulaic and almost bland, they need to come out with something new as with 'A Line of Deathless Kings' I'm finding it quite hard to distinguish between songs as they sound very similar. However, its not all doom and gloom (no pun intended), a personal favrourite is 'Thy Raven Wings' which I reckon is the best on the album as it stands out from the rest. Whats everyone elses take on the new album?

You tlking about this ''A Line of Deathless Kings'' I think its be out in october or something
I just wating it, but reading your lil' rewiew about it, seems last death/doom band changed like all UK that time death/doom bands

PS Your nick sounds greek

I agree with Papa Lazarou, "Line Of Deathless Kings" is rather dissapointing... it's very shallow and yes, My Dying Bride seem to have lost their bliss... there are still good songs, but overall I think is the weaker of their career...

Don't think I've heard the new album enough times yet, but I'm enjoying it. I'll have to agree that it's probably their weakest since "...Complete", but tracks like "L'Amour Detruit" or "Love's Intolerable Pain" are really worth listening. Definitely not as atmospheric as "The Light..." or "Songs Of...", in fact, even though there's an official keyboards player, I could barely notice them in the first listen, this album is a little less polished, so I can see fans of "Like Gods At The Sun" enjoying this one a lot.

Where you get new My Dying Bride? Its be stotres in next month but you all had hear it, where I can get it?

Take it as you wish, but if you had a site like www.metalstorm.ee and the users were posting illegal, "illegal" (again take it as you wish) links and a label had noticed this then it would have never worked again with the site and you wouldn't like it.

Still dont get it

I just listen this album and its like clasic My Dying Bride, I dunno but ''The Raven Wings'' reaind me ''For You'' ending prt of song

Realy gret album, Im satifiel of it and its ok but some songs are like clasic My Dying Bride ''Raven Wings'' somethng from 1996 and lst song ''The Blod,The Wine,The Roses'' well mybe poeticl its good, but title ae good but music it cn be lil hrder and not so romntic I hate hapy romantism, I like sad romntism like ''My Wine In Silance''

I saw the new video today. It was rather cryptic and enjoyable. The song itself was enjoyable too but not amazing MDB...at least not for me.

I'm not sure why you feel fans of "Like Gods Of The Sun" would enjoy this new CD a lot... ? "Like Gods Of The Sun" is one of my favorite MDB CDs, but this new CD of theirs feels nothing like it. Not that this is a problem -- the new CD sounds well enough, but the crisp production found on "LGOTS" is nowhere present in this new CD.

And speaking of this new CD, I'm not overwhelmed by it. I may have to come back to it later on, maybe when it gets colder outside or something. It's oddly forgettable to me, though I can't figure out exactly why. Maybe if I sit down with the lyrics and read them along with the music I can see where the band is going, but there are some lyrical passages I already don't care much for--which I can honestly say I've never said about MDB before.

I just noticed the new video has been posted, so perhaps that can direct me, but I'm going to be patient with this disc...

Im fan of My dying Bride, i like almoust all albums, and well maybe fiew songs in some albums are worst, but this new album are great, its well now i can say My Dying Bride are last from old death/doom bands who hasnt change them style and new album, well song titles are traditional ''The Raven Wings''remaind me slower ''for You'' and well Wine, Wine Wine

I appreciate what K7 just said... MDB are the only classic Doom Metal band that hadn't changed their style, they had kept loyalty to their Death/Doom roots and that's very respectable... (I hate the mellow paths taken by Anathema and Katatonia, btw).

Well I had say it planty tiems but death/doom ''clasic'' band schanged style or best what tha done split up, like Winter and dISbOWELMENT
I agree about Anathema and Kataonoa, but only band what I like after style chnged are Sentenced

yes, I chose the wrong word... must had been "popular" instead of "classic".. but well, it's difficult for Winter or dISEMBOWELMENT to change their style if both bands just released one important album

Very unfortunate and bad news.... That is all I want to say.

I mean what Kariasakis told you. Shawn Steeles left MDB. I think he was the best drummer MDB would ever have

You know, I've been trying to get into this new My Dying Bride CD, but I'm still only halfway there. I don't dislike it, but I tell you, after a month of listening to only this new CD on and off and no other MDB release, and then returning to "Songs of Darkness...", the new CD feels like a bit of a letdown. The new CD feels oddly withdrawn emotionally... I haven't been able to put my finger on it yet, but it is something. Just going back to listening to a song like "Catherine Blake" compared to the new CD is such a drastic change. Their 2004 disc was so intense, nearly abrasive at times. I know a band cannot produce masterpieces each time, but there really seems to have been a directional shift in the past 2 years with songwriting, or at least intensity. Hmm...

I don't know much about this band, I have some songs, the one I like the most is "The Cry Of Mankind"
I like the music, but imo is so depressive...

I am in depression....I am alone....there is so little hope and things just do not develop.....depression grows....MDB fits my mood....whenever I am going home....in the dark....they have copied sadness and poured it into art.....

I said "try"... being all the time unsuccessfully trying to commit suicide is very Doom Metal...

amazing and talented band...my favourite album would be songs of darkness words of light and favourite song would be the wreckage of my flesh!

I can't say I dislike their new alboum. It is really good, but it is much more heavier than the last two MDB releases, that are my favourite ones.

Formulaic? well i do agree but not a great extent. I think they are starting to experiment a little less on the last two albums now. Yes I had the problem of distinguishing between the song at first as well. But after a few listens the good ones start to stand out. Also my personal favorite is 'Thy raven Wings' I was gonna write a review of the album, in which I discribed this song as "It could choak you and bring you back to life all in the same breath" there are a few other memorable tracks on the album as well. 'Love's Intollerable pain' was a good one. 'Deeper Down' I also enjoyed, although I don't get why they made a single out of it. 'I cannot be Loved' was also good. Although the music was a little generic of MDB. The lyric are as usual, absolute magic. It is probably my favorite MDB feature to date.

they are the band of my life! a doomed lover is killing me. i surely will listen to latest record. a friend said to me that the record is really amazing.

Yes, the new alboum is great. But it is a little bit quicker than the last two alboums.
