My Dying Bride 20th Anniversary Plans

My Dying Bride is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and plan to mark the milestone with two special releases. Here are the details: My Dying Bride embarked upon a project to re-work familiar melodies & themes from My Dying Bride's extensive catalogue into long, flowing symphonic compositions, including new vocals & passages from Aaron Stainthorpe. These arrangements have been brought to life in co-operation with keyboard maestro Johnny Maudling (of Bal Sagoth fame) & will be released as 'Evinta', on October 25th by Peaceville Records as both a 2 disc & special 3 disc set, each disc its own sprawling classical work spanning a large period of My Dying Bride's album material. The 3 disc set will also be accompanied by a specially limited 72 page hardback book featuring rare images & photographs from the band's personal archive from over the years. "Evinta, a project almost 15 years in the making, an idea that has sat smouldering and never really had a reason to burn alive until now," says guitarist, Andrew Craighan. "Nine albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MDB. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past. Finally the 20th anniversary allows us to release this music in a form it has been desperately, woefully waiting for. Enjoy the darkness." Also coinciding with this 20 year celebration is the recent vinyl release of one of the band's most respected early works, namely 'Turn Loose the Swans', which is limited to 2000 numbered copies, & features the original vinyl cover artwork design & gatefold sleeve.
