Description

Black vinyl with printed innersleeve

Having become initially aware of each other via the local pub scene of West Yorkshire and through various early band associations and acquaintances, Andrew Craighan, Aaron Stainthorpe, Calvin Robertshaw and Rick Miah came together to form My Dying Bride in mid-1990 after discovering a shared interest in the darker side of metal, and set foot on the forlorn path of what was to lead them to the global heights of the doom genre. 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 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. This release features specially reconstructed artwork from the original.

Track list:
1. Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium
2. Vast Choirs
3. The Grief Of Age
4. Catching Feathers
