Our Take
Our Take
MY DYING BRIDE's The Angel & The Dark River is like a fine black pudding - a dark and brooding masterpiece that leaves you feeling both satisfied and slightly disturbed. This album is a haunting journey through the depths of despair, with haunting melodies and soul-crushing lyrics that will have you questioning the very fabric of existence.
Lead vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe's mournful vocals are a perfect match for the band's symphonic sound, creating a sense of atmosphere that is as thick as the fog on a moor in Yorkshire. The guitars alternately chug along like a steam engine and soar like a bird of prey, while the keyboard and violin provide a lush backdrop that adds an extra layer of drama to the proceedings.
Tracks like "The Cry of Mankind" and "A Sea to Suffer In" are epic in scope and execution, with their sweeping melodies and epic arrangements. The album's production is crisp and clear, allowing each instrument to shine through and create a sense of intimacy that draws the listener in.
Overall, The Angel & The Dark River is a masterclass in gothic metal, a genre that MY DYING BRIDE helped to define. With its combination of beauty and brutality, this album is a must-listen for any fan of dark, atmospheric music. Prepare to be swept away on a journey through the darkest corners of the human soul - just make sure you have a torch handy.
