2016 press on black vinyl with printed innersleeve

After the flower croaked and before the swans could wreck havoc,the sextet pooled their still-striding creative brilliance for yetanother ep, one that would mark a slight change in guitar tone fromthe previous utter crunch to a more fluid, less crotchety caress,retaining only one song´s worth of that special My Dying Bridedisconsolate atmosphere that was quickly and oxymoronically gainingmomentum. In all respects, there´re really only two songs here. `LeCerf Malade´, a near instrumental with only four verses of Frenchstretched unnoticeably over its lifespan, is a much less stellar,less eventful, and less motivated translation of Frost´s spookyeffects tracks `Dance Macabre´ and `A Tear in a Prophet´s Dream´.Moreover, with its carpet of background moans, distant bells,cryptic quasi-Gregorian chants, keyboards, and other unassimilatedcacophony, it´s a precursor to the ambient style worn by the likesof Arcana, Die Verbannten Kinder Evas, and Mz.412 as well as thedungeon chamber music of Mortiis. Of course, MDB didn´t inventthese styles by a long shot, but expounded on them in an almostnatural assimilation. Unfortunately, it doesn´t exactly form theglue adhering the two real songs. In the vein of the band´s nowdependable resonance, the title cut is a slow, groping earthquakeof a song. Violin chirps and weaves through plodding rhythmiccaverns where Aaron´s demon-spirited barks echo unintelligiblewarnings to all. With `Gather Me Up Forever´, tempos change moreregularly, alternating death and doom with bipolar-like range, butwith that regularity comes song structuring almost too predictableand one-two, one-two, something possibly keyboards or even hornscould´ve broken up. This is the very rare and since long out ofprint Peaceville EP
