Description
THE 1996 GENRE-CLASSIC OPUS OF MONUMENTAL GOTHIC DOOM METAL FROM THE INFLUENTIAL UK GREATS.
My Dying Bride has been one of the foremost & consistent leading lights in doom metal since their debut album "As The Flower Withers" was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost & Candlemass, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years to stand at the pinnacle of the genre & remain one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands.
My Dying Bride released three albums & as many EP's before launching the massive opus 'Like Gods Of The Sun' in 1996, as the band's popularity was hitting a high point in the wake of successful touring with fellow British Metal heroes Iron Maiden, on the back of the previous breakthrough release, the equally revered 'The Angel & the Dark River'. Upon release, 'Like Gods Of The Sun' became a huge hit among the world's metal press & fans alike, further cementing My Dying Bride's legacy as one of the UK's most accomplished & important extreme metal acts, with their perfected style of gothic doom evolving into a streamlined & impactful combination of tracks to stunning effect.
'Like Gods Of The Sun' was recorded at the infamous Academy Studios in Yorkshire, UK, with long-time producer, Mags.
This edition of 'Like Gods Of The Sun' is presented on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve.
