My Dying Bride has been one of the foremost & consistent leading lights in doom metal since their debut album "As The Flower Withers" was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost and Candlemass, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years to stand at the pinnacle of the genre, and remain one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands.
My Dying Bride released three albums and as many EP's before launching the massive opus ‘Like Gods Of The Sun’ in 1996, as the band’s popularity was hitting a high point in the wake of successful touring with fellow British Metal heroes Iron Maiden on the back of the previous breakthrough release, the equally revered ‘The Angel & the Dark River’. Upon release, ‘Like Gods of the Sun’ became a huge hit among the world's metal press & fans alike, further cementing My Dying Bride’s legacy as one of the UK’s most accomplished & important extreme metal acts, with their perfected style of gothic doom evolving into a streamlined and impactful combination of tracks to stunning effect.
‘Like Gods of the Sun’ was recorded at the infamous Academy Studios in Yorkshire, UK, with long-time producer, Mags.
