The classic 1990 demo from the UK Doom lords.

 

Taped at Revolver Studios in November 1990, Towards The Sinister was My Dying Bride’s first professional recording.

 

The 4 tracks were each a finely crafted work of early death/doom, sculpted with a dark and more atmospheric edge than most genre bands of the time. Re-recorded versions of the tracks subsequently appeared on the Symphonaire… EP and the band's debut album, As the Flower Withers (1992).

 

Having become initially aware of each other via the local pub scene of West Yorkshire & through various early band associations & acquaintances, Andrew Craighan, Aaron Stainthorpe, Calvin Robertshaw & Rick Miah came together to form My Dying Bride in mid-1990 after discovering a shared interest in the darker side of metal, & set foot on the forlorn path of what was to lead them to the global heights of the doom genre, propelled on to the global stage during the mid-90s, assisted by breakthrough albums such as The Angel & the Dark River, plus tours with such metal greats as Iron Maiden.
