UK doom heroes My Dying Bride have revealed the release of their new album A Map of all our Failures for October.

Their forthcoming opus A Map of all our Failures will be released October 15th on Peaceville Records on CD, double vinyl & special edition CD/DVD.

The album recording and mix was recently completed at Futureworks Studios in Manchester, with long-standing production maestro Mags at the helm.

A step up from 2009’s For Lies I Sire – which set and subsequently met new heights of expectation placed upon the legendary Yorkshire doom troupe.

A Map of all our Failures is a further voyage into the darkest depths of humanity, religion, folklore, love and death.

My Dying Bride’s distinctively sumptuous dual guitar melodies effortlessly flood into juggernaut doom metal riffs, with the vocals of Aaron Stainthorpe weaving a rich tapestry of tragic tales into the accompanying soundscapes.

A Map of all our Failures is perhaps best summarised by guitarist Andrew Craighan as “a controlled demolition of all your hopes”.

My Dying Bride has been the leading force in the gothic doom metal genre since their inception in the early 90’s, and have gone on to forge a legacy of greatness in the field over the past two decades.

The band will also be embarking upon a European tour in December in support of the album, as well as a local appearance at the UK’s esteemed Damnation Festival in November, at which Peaceville will be a proud sponsor to coincide with the label’s 25th anniversary.
