Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My Dying Bride's debut album was titled "As the Flower Withers" and was released in 1992. It demonstrated string doom metal and deathmetal influences. Which track on this album contains the following lyrics: "Oh beautiful earth For too long you have been silent Touch me once again The dark ground lies cold"?

Answer: The Return of the Beautiful

Approximately nine years after the release of "As the Flower Withers", this track was released on "The Dreadful Hours". Though its title was changed to "The Return to the Beautiful", it is a direct re-record of the same song.

2. My Dying Bride's second album, "Turn Loose the Swans", was released in 1993. It was stylistically fairly similar to their debut album, with extensive use of deathgrowling and violin. Which song from My Dying Bride's second album contains the following lyrics: "Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest The brave lick their sickening lips Rigid, handsome and a poet A king in his passionate castle"?

Answer: Your River

"Your River" is one of the longest songs on the album, clocking in at over nine minutes. As a result, the band has been known to skip part of the intro when playing the song live.

3. In 1995, My Dying Bride released a followup to "Turn Loose the Swans", entitled "The Angel and the Dark River". This album did away with much of the deathgrowling typically found in their previous releases and focused on a more melodic sound. In which track from this album could you find the following lyrics: "With lust, you're kicking mankind to death We live and die without hope You tramp us down in a river of death As I stand here now, my heart is black"?

Answer: The Cry of Mankind

My Dying Bride recorded and released a music video for "The Cry of Mankind", although it features a version of the song that is shorter than that on the album. Much like the song, the video features significant religious imagery, with singer Aaron Stainthorpe wearing a crown of thorns during it.

4. "Like Gods of the Sun", released in 1996, is a notable album, as it has been stated to be one of singer Aaron Stainthorpe's favourites of the My Dying Bride Albums. It's style continued the melodic trend set by the previous album. Which song on this release contains the following lyrics: "As I draw up my breath, And silver fills my eyes. I kiss her still, For she will never rise"?

Answer: For my Fallen Angel

A single music video was filmed based on the songs of "Like Gods of the Sun", for the song "For You". The video footage includes a mix of the band playing in a dark room and a man drowning in a brighter room with a mysterious female looming over him.

5. In 1998, My Dying Bride released the album "34.788%...Complete". This album featured significant electronic elements and was one of the most experimental albums ever produced by the band. In which song from this album would you hear the following lyrics: "Lay your hands on me Lay your perfect hands on me You know exactly what I want So open wide"?

Answer: The Whore, the Cook and the Mother

"The Whore, the Cook and the Mother" is a rather long song, clocking in at twelve minutes. A significant portion of the song consists of the singer being interrogated with seemingly unintelligible questions over calm background music.

6. 1999's "The Light at the End of the World" marked My Dying Bride's return to a more traditional doom metal style. The album contains both clean singing and deathgrowling. In which song on this album would you hear the following words: "Take my life Take everything Through those meadows Of heaven Where we ran forevermore"?

Answer: Sear Me III

"Sear Me III" is the third part in a trilogy of songs, including "Sear Me" from "As the Flower Withers" and "Sear Me MCMXCIII" from "Turn Loose the Swans". Although all three incarnations have different lyrics (with the first's being in Latin), they contain similar instrumental melodies.

7. In 2001, My Dying Bride released "The Dreadful Hours". This album is another of singer Aaron Stainthorpe's favourites. Which song from this album contains the following lines: "Walk with, with me I'll be your Shadow God For now, just now Give your life to me"?

Answer: A Cruel Taste of Winter

This track uses many opposing themes in its lyrics, often in reference to religious concepts. Examples can be found in the lines: "Divinity burns in thunder" and "Your vanity, your sanctity".

8. My Dying Light's album "Songs of Darkness, Words of Light" was released in 2004. In which song from that album can the following lyrics be found: "Years and sorrows Like saints with arrows"?

Answer: A Doomed Lover

"Songs of Darkness, Words of Light" is the last album on which drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels plays. He left the band due to injury, particularly with his ankle, which made playing difficult for him. Shaun has also played for Anathema in the past.

9. My Dying Bride released the album "A Line of Deathless Kings" in 2006. The band released a teaser EP for this album, entitled "Deeper Down", which contains one track from the album and two additional tracks. Which song from the full-length album contains the following words: "Eden falls Mercy for life I hear their calls Stood and watched them die "?

Answer: Thy Raven Wings

Like many My Dying Bride songs, this track's lyrics can be seen as a reference to Christianity. "Crowned with thorns and pain" is an example of such a line, which bears a resemblance to the earlier song "The Cry of Mankind", whose music video featured singer Aaron performing while wearing a crown of thorns.

10. In 2009, My Dying Bride released their tenth album, called "For Lies I Sire". This album is the first from the band to include violin work in over ten years, performed by Katie Stone. In which song from this album would you find the following words: "As darkness stole me away One evening of sober grey She alone did not laugh As I walk the devil's path"?

Answer: A Chapter in Loathing

"A Chapter in Loathing" begins with the guitar riff that "The Blood, the Wine, the Roses" ends with. Despite this similarity, the song is rather dissimilar from its precursor, containing a much harsher vocal style compared to the former's mix of clean singing and growling.
