MY DYING BRIDE - Towards The Sinister (CD)

Having become initially aware of each other via the local pub scene of West Yorkshire & through
various early band associations & acquaintances, Andrew Craighan, Aaron Stainthorpe, Calvin
Robertshaw & Rick Miah came together to form My Dying Bride in mid-1990 after discovering a
shared interest in the darker side of metal, & set foot on the forlorn path of what was to lead them
to the global heights of the doom genre, propelled on to the global stage during the mid-90s,
assisted by breakthrough albums such as The Angel & the Dark River, plus tours with such metal
greats as Iron Maiden.
Towards the Sinister was My Dying Bride's first professional recording to be put to tape, carried out
at Revolver Studios in November 1990. The 4 tracks were each a finely crafted work of early
death/doom, sculpted with a dark and more atmospheric edge than most of the bands at the time.
Re-recorded versions of the tracks which were originally featured on Towards the Sinister
subsequently went on to be included on the Symphonaire. EP, plus the debut album, As the Flower
Withers, in 1992.
Towards the Sinister is presented on mid-price CD, including full lyrics, original cover artwork and
rare band photos from the formative years.
