Doom legends MY DYING BRIDE unleash their new album The Ghost Of Orion today! The band's magnificent 13th studio album was born despite endless hurdles being thrown at the band. From in-studio foibles to members departing to the life-changing aftereffects of dealing with a sick family member, the Brits rode it out. The Ghost of Orion posits MY DYING BRIDE back on the proverbial doom-death throne. In fact, they’ve never sounded better.

In the scope of Paradise Lost's career, their eponymous release from 2005 represented the act of Hell freezing over, for it witnessed these founders of the British doom movement finally deigning to revive the sonic blueprint that made them famous in the first place, nearly a decade after seemingly abandoning it forever. Still, the general consensus was that its songs didn't quite match the band's good intentions, and so it fell to its 2007 successor, the aptly named In Requiem, to make amends and come just a few steps closer to resurrecting Paradise Lost's post-death/doom, goth-inflected middle period (marked by the classic Shades of God, Icon and Draconian Times albums)…

Greek death/doomsters On Thorns I Lay are releasing today their new, ninth full length album, entitled ‘Threnos’, via Lifeforce Records.
