My Dying Bride in concert

views

This is a concert by the fabulous My Dying Bride, held in a club in Amsterdam in 2007, right after the release of their latest album. What’s great is also that this recording is freely available on the net!

Some of you might have noticed that some time ago I’ve added the “LightBox” effect, which displays images inside a box, enriching their estetical value.

This though had made impossible to download the image itself for those who wanted to keep a copy of it on their pc, and this is particularly annoying for desktop wallpaper images, that you need to save on your pc in order to be useful.

That’s why I’ve just completed a modification to the LightBox script which adds two small buttons on the lower left corner of the display box, one for the image download and the other for a printer-friendly page.

Draconian

Lately through Last.FM I’ve discovered this swedish gothic/doom band called Draconian, and I’m liking them quite a bit. It’s been since some time that my listenings have turned towards gothic/doom/funeral doom both in a light form (Evanescence, Lacuna Coil) and in a deeper obscure version (My Dying Bride), and I must say this band is attractive, both for the fact that they couple a deep surrounding grind voice with an ethereal woman voice, and for their lyrics topic, which is centered on literary cultured satanism.

Yeah, of course I’m not satanist. It’s all bullshit (as much as Catholicism), but the atmosphere is seductive.

Their new album is about to be published. It’s the fourth and it is called “Turning Seasons Within”. I think I’m going to listen to it.

Here is a song from their current album “The Burning Halo”. It’s called “The Morningstar”, which of course is Lucifer!
