My Dying Bride has been the leading light of doom metal since the debut album 'As The Flower
Withers' was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost and
Candlemass, the British band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the
years to stand as one of the true enduring and distinguishable pillars of the genre.
'For Darkest Eyes' contains the band's iconic 1996 performance from Krakow, Poland, featuring
numerous classic doom anthems from the early career of the UK Metal Gods. The show was
recorded as the band was riding a wave of popularity due to their recent breakthrough third album,
'The Angel & the Dark River' (plus their tour with British metal legends Iron Maiden in the winter of
1995), showcasing several tracks from that release such as 'The Cry of Mankind' and 'Your Shameful
Heaven', as well as renditions of other established numbers such as 'The Crown of Sympathy' and
'The Forever People'.
This edition of 'For Darkest Eyes' is presented on double gatefold vinyl, & first time on the vinyl
format, and contains cover artwork adapted from the original video tape release.
