REVIEW: My Dying Bride - Trinity Peaceville Records, 1995
9/10
My Dying Bride - Trinity - cover art "Trinity" is not a real new release from My Dying Bride since it is a comprehensive collection of tracks earlier released as demos and EP's. Even if this is material from the earlier years of the band´s history the music is astonishingly great. Of course the sound quality is not perfect and the music is not as clean and sharp as on the latest albums but the unique My Dying Bride sound is here as well, changing from painfully slow tunes that makes you want to tear out your heart to fast aggressive guitar riffing. All the time it is melodic and groovy and often accompanied by sad violin tunes from the classically trained Martin Powell, who is now a member of Cradle of Filth. It is a shame that Martin is no longer part of the band but they have shown that they were able to compensate his loss on their own with their latest release. Musically this album is very gloomy and emotional like the MDB albums usually are. The vocals are very raw growling since this is the first material from the band. For each album the vocals have become sharper and cleaner, at least so far. On this album you can also find the song that was chosen as the best My Dying Bride song ever in the year 2000 by the visitors on their official website namely "The Crown Of Sympathy". This is a slow and very sad song and the only one on this recording where Aaron uses clean raspy vocals. This is an album that should be in the record collection of every metal fan since it marks the birth of the English doom sound (and it´s a great album as well).
