UK Doomsters do a career retrospective
In celebration of their first ten years as a band, My Silent Wake are about to release An Unbroken Threnody 2005 – 2015; a reflective compilation album that brings together material from their fourth ever gig, from vinyl only releases, from classic albums, fan favourites and band favourites, all freshly remastered – not to mention a new and exclusive song. Ian Arkley, main man and constant creative presence, shares his thoughts on the band’s career so far in the sleeve notes and Matt Vickerstaff – known for his work with My Dying Bride amongst others – has contributed some beautiful album artwork. As a thank you to purchasers, each CD will also come with a download code giving access to an array of further remastered classic My Silent Wake material.
The band say: “As a thank you to all those fans who support them by purchasing a copy of An Unbroken Threnody, My Silent Wake have added something special to the album package. Each CD purchased will come with a download code, giving access to nearly two hours of remastered, classic material, making An Unbroken Threnody a truly essential purchase.
“For those who have walked this road with My Silent Wake since the beginning, An Unbroken Threnody… will be a wonderful trip through treasured memories, for those drawn in by the dark drama of Damnatio Memoriae it will be a gateway to the rich and varied history of this magnificent band. Then there will be many who have yet to uncover the magic of My Silent Wake and An Unbroken Threnody lays out an array of treasures at their feet, an almost overwhelming plethora of riches. And this is no ending, no melancholy goodbye, rather the beginning of the next volume in the story of My Silent Wake. There is so much more to come…but for now, let’s sit awhile and reflect on bleak glories past.”
The album is released through Stone Groove Records on 08 February 2016.
