A Map of All Our Failures
A Map of All Our Failures is the eleventh studio album by English doom metal band My Dying Bride, released on 15 October 2012 through Peaceville Records. Cover art comes from Rhett Podersoo, and the limited editions add a bonus track along with a DVD carrying a 70-minute documentary, An Evening With the Bride.
It follows Evinta, the 2011 release, and comes before Feel the Misery in 2015, so it sits in the middle of a long career that began with As the Flower Withers in 1992. For anyone tracing the band's doom metal path through its later years, it is a natural stop, and the documentary on the special editions gives devoted fans a little extra to explore.
