For Lies I Sire - My Dying Bride

The last artistic creation by British doom fathers My Dying Bride. The band has gone

through a lot in terms of line - up change and has also changed their style. Striving to

keep up with their previous releases, they are losing the heart of the music they create.

This album is of course flawless when listening how it is put together and how the

musical career plays it's part in creating one ...

has been touched by God and has been given a task throughout it's lifetime. The

band isn't capable of delivering another work of great appreciation.

When listening to this album, anyone knowing My Dying Bride would recognize it

straight away. It is very epic and and has some gothic shades to it. I had never

The last artistic creation by British doom fathers My Dying Bride. The band has gone

through a lot in terms of line - up change and has also changed their style. Striving to

keep up with their previous releases, they are losing the heart of the music they create.

This album is of course flawless when listening how it is put together and how the

musical career plays it's part in creating one more phenomenal album. This can

only be achieved by a handful of doom metal bands. Sometimes I think this band

has been touched by God and has been given a task throughout it's lifetime. The

band isn't capable of delivering another work of great appreciation.

When listening to this album, anyone knowing My Dying Bride would recognize it

straight away. It is very epic and and has some gothic shades to it. I had never

thought of My Dying Bride as being death/doom metal, earliest Aaron's growling

didn't mean it was death metal. Violin parts are back in this album and most

probably that's what makes it gothic at some point. And by adding violin to this

album, the band has preserved its style and hasn't strayed away from their path. It is

still earlier death/doom, now gothic/doom. Their music creates incredible feeling,

something you can' t expect from other doom bands. It summons very poignant and

sensitive feelings not necessarily associated with doom metal. All album is still My

Dying Bride, but I had expected something groundbreaking.

The first track of the album My Body A Funeral is just outstanding, it's so touching and memorable.

But in general this album is not as catchy as previous releases, I recommend you

this album if you want to see how the band is going under, lacking inspiration and

probably now it's merely commitment to work. In my opinion the band's time has

run out...Dedicated fans will still love them of course.
