A Mortal Binding – My Dying Bride [CD]

British gothic metal legends My Dying Bride are primed to unfurl their 15thalbum, ‘A Mortal Binding’, via Nuclear Blast. The much-anticipated follow-up to ‘The Ghost of Orion’ (2019) finds the Yorkshire-based quintet – featuring a revamped lineup of now-permanent guitarist Neil Blanchett and the return of drummer Dan Mullins – delighting in anxiety, loss, and toil to resplendent effect. From the raw distress of ‘Her Dominion’ and twisted horror of ‘Thornwyck Hymn’ to the funerary violins of the eleven-minute monolith ‘The Apocalyptist’ and the classic-feeling ‘The 2nd of Three Bells’, ‘A Mortal Binding’ is signature My Dying Bride.
