MY DYING BRIDE TO RELEASE MULTIPLE DISC SET

UK doom heroes My Dying Bride are to release ‘A Harvest Of Dread’ through Peaceville on May 24.

This is a deluxe, 12″ 92-page hardback book, which comes with five discs of rarities, newly discovered pre-production demos which have never previously been heard, plus catalogue tracks chosen by band members Aaron Stainthorpe and Andrew Craighan.

The book itself tells the story of the band, and includes new interviews with current and former band members, as well as others associated with My Dying Bride. There’s also a foreward written by Thomas Gabriel Fischer of Celtic Frost, Hellhammer and Tryptikon fams.

Says Stainforthe: “I am astounded at the body of work this outfit has created over quarter of a century but immensely proud too. From humble beginnings of demo tape, draughty rehearsal rooms and transit vans up to the heady heights of digi-packs, hotels and tour buses, we’ve done just about everything a rock n roll band is supposed to do. Members have come and gone, some lost forever and others staying in touch and all, thankfully, still friendly and welcoming. I look back at our extensive career, much of it laid out here for all to see in this impressive collection and feel strong and thrilled at what our output has achieved. There surely is something for everyone scripted here within A Harvest of Dread as it’s been hand-picked by the band and a select number of friends who know better. And if this isn’t enough, we are working on new material already so that, perhaps in another 25 years, we may be sat here again doing something very similar”
