MY DYING BRIDE: THE MANUSCRIPT EP
The masters of Doom return once again to drown we mere mortals with the essential threshold of bleak that we so need. It just so happens that once again, My Dying Bride, have released another collection of mind blowing brilliance.
2012's A Map Of All Our Failures, was a genuine masterpiece. It captured the very essence of Doom Metal. Three of the four songs that comprise The Manuscript, were recorded at the same time as the 2012 opus. The resulting creation, is an EP with a virtually identical sound to its full-length associate.
The anthems of Blackened winter Doom are in abundance here, with the magnificent "A Pale Shroud Of Longing" and title track, "The Manuscript". Both of these tracks are strongly reminiscent of previous gems "The Poorest Waltz" and "Within The Presence Of Absence". The slightly more Death or Black-Metal orientated "Var Gud Over Er", makes for a genuine treat. The riffs on "Var Gud Over Er", are distinctively Doom, and distinctively My Dying Bride, but this infusion of a heavier sound gives the song an enormous amount of individuality.
Any fan of My Dying Bride, or of Doom-Metal, will be very pleased with this release. After all, The Manuscript in an incredible and extremely pleasing EP. We can only hope that My Dying Bride wont keep us in anticipation of their next release for to long. Even if fans do have to wait for a while, at least we have a vast gallery of My Dying Bride's material to be enjoying in the mean time.
