My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans (1993, original pressing, limited edition)
One of the most revered and influential albums in the second-wave British doom scene, Turn Loose the Swans is probably the album that best captures what makes My Dying Bride so special: bone-crunching riffs, clean and hoarse vocals, dark, romantic lyrics, tremulous violin accents and most importantly, being able to shift instantly from slow, ponderous chords to head-bangin’ frenzy. This would form the blueprint for MDB going forward and is still unmatched in many ways even to this day, with so many doom bands lacking the song-writing chops that these stalwarts captured at their best. A masterpiece.
I’m lucky enough to own an original pressing and am happy to report that despite its age it sounds superb, with a fittingly big, crushing sound that gives each instrument the love it deserves. Well worth seeking out.

Always loved the nights when they played Bananas and the audience threw them at Deke onstage. Brilliant.
