British doom band, formed sometime in 1990 as some "slower-than-usual" death metal act by Calvin Robertshaw (guitars), Aaron Stainthorpe (vocals), Andrew Craighan (guitars) and Rick Miah (drums). What they played was soon to become the first example of the second wave of doom metal, which mixed elements of other uber-heavy genres such as death and black metal.
"Towards The Sinister" was the band's first recording ever, an early demo which immediately got them a deal for their first real release, the classic EP "Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium". "As the Flower Withers

I first heard MDB...back to 1995 ''The Cry of Mankind''..from the album The Angel and the dark river. Since then I have been impressed...
Though broken, her twisted finger drew my whole name.
Her shoulder of beauty, heavy and corrupt with shame.
Tired waves crash upon the dead shore of her pale flesh.
That woman of cruelty is the enemy of my God.
The terror in her eyes was beautiful unto me.
The thoughtless steel in my hand was a gift and fee.
I moved her into the sun, so pure and so free.
Thanks MDB for this awesome new single
