Description
THE CLASSIC 1993 EP FROM THE UK DOOM LEGENDS - PRESENTED ON 12" VINYL
My Dying Bride are undisputed legends of the UK metal and doom scenes, having existed for over 25 years, with a consistent string of releases - both as originators and innovators - helping to shape the extreme metal scene since the early 90's, culminating in tours with acts such as Iron Maiden and Dio.
'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' came amidst an intensely creative period for the band in their formative years. The EP arrived swiftly on the back of their debut album, 'As the Flower Withers', and helped solidify My Dying Bride's reputation as firm upcoming leaders of the UK gothic doom/death metal scene alongside countrymen Paradise Lost. With the ongoing use of violin to assist with the unique atmosphere created by My Dying Bride, the title track itself is a creeping doom epic of haunting beauty and savagery in equal measure - a revered motif of the band. The EP also contains the additional songs, 'Le Cerf Malade' and 'Gather Me Up Forever'.
'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' was recorded at the band's long time haunt, Academy Studios, known for its own involvement with groundbreaking UK doom releases for years, and was engineered by Mags, who remains a close production associate of the band to this day. My Dying Bride had recently returned to Academy for the recording of their 2015 opus, 'Feel the Misery'.
This edition of 'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' is presented on 12" vinyl and features the original cover artwork created by Aaron Stainthorpe of the band.
