Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

Coming after the electronic/industrial experiments and shorter,more pop-like songs of 34.788%…Complete, The Light at the End ofthe World marks a return to the epic doom-death metal style of MyDying Bride’s earlier days. Vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe’sunmistakable morose crooning is still the focal point but, for thefirst time since 1994’s Turn Loose the Swans, he has taken toalternating that voice with a death metal/black metal-type snarl,which can indeed sound pretty frightening. The violin and pianotouches of the group’s earlier days are absent, while the keyboardsare only used sparingly (and tastefully), leaving most of theemphasis on the guitars. Thus, this album has a more stripped-downfeel than much of the band’s other work. The songs are generallyslow and lengthy — three of them cross the ten-minute mark — butthey flow smoothly as they move from one section or riff to thenext, seldom hitting any lulls. Highlights include the soaringtitle track as well as the opener, “She Is the Dark,” which does anespecially good job of weaving together heavier death metal riffingwith slower, more atmospheric sections. My Dying Bride has neverbeen the easiest band to get into since its music is sorelentlessly bitter and depressing but, in any case, this is areally strong album and one that should be considered a “comeback”among listeners who thought the band to be past its prime.
